Members jdwintx Posted July 30, 2011 Members Report Posted July 30, 2011 In looking through the hand sewing leather book by Al Stohlman I see a reference to a gouge compass, I did an internet search and cannot find any reference to one or a supplier. Does anyone have a source for one of these? Thanks Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted July 30, 2011 Moderator Report Posted July 30, 2011 I did until a couple hours ago..... I get them every so often. Jeremiah Watt sells a new manufacture version, and Sheridan Leather Outfitters would be another good place to check. Quote
Members Leather Guru Posted July 30, 2011 Members Report Posted July 30, 2011 Hello brother, Try looking at the website www.vergez-blanchard.fr . They got tons of beautiful hand tools and all hand made. Quote
Members amuckart Posted July 30, 2011 Members Report Posted July 30, 2011 If you do a google search for "compass race" does that show up what you're after? Quote

Members jdwintx Posted July 30, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 30, 2011 Thanks guys, appreciate the help. I think I have it found now. CS Osborne makes what they call a scratch compass one which has interchangeable gouges and one that is fixed like the one on the vergez-blanchard site. I think the Osborne will be on my next shopping list. I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks Quote
