oldtimer Report post Posted March 24, 2010 Bra fynd Knut, varför har jag inte snokat runt där själv för? Tom Hej. Jag kom hem från Tärnsjö igår kväll. Ska ha kurs på sadelmakeriskolan i höst, tre veckor, så vi klarade ut tider o logistiken igår. Det är ganske intressant att spankulera runt i garveriet i se hur det går till att göra läder. / Knut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old guy stretching the pieces was obviously not in his usual working position, using the stretching pliers is hard work, especially for a 70 yr old. I had the chance of getting a lot of press knives etc. to do with football, rugby and other sports from an old sports shop and factory some years back the old guy was at the point of accepting that he would never use the stuff again, (he had just retailed stuff for years) and he would be better off selling it all to me! after leaving it a few weeks, I went back to finish haggling with him over a price, and found he had died, and his son had taken all his tools, the press, and press knives sewing machines, the lot to the scrap yard, I was gutted Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CitizenKate Report post Posted April 4, 2010 I haven't gotten through them all, yet, but ones I did watch are fascinating, not just from a technical standpoint, but also the cultural/economic aspects of it. Sure glad I'm not a tannery worker, though. Ugh. Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
