A friend pointed me at this today ABLE 290 boot patcher

I think it looks like someone in China got their hands on an 1800s Bradbury or something and tried to reproduce it.

Has anyone ever seen one in the wild?

Thing?

Yeah, they are a rough and ready little beastie. The first 100 are all but gone and another 170 are on the way along with a couple of other variations including a post bed and one with a larger shuttle.

Mostly I sell them to people to repair horse rugs although a number of leatherworkers are using them.

Just stumbled across this machine today. Looking to make barel bags with oil tanned utility leather about 5-7oz thick. Does anyone have experience with this machine? Could it handle leather like this?
