Members Andrew Chee Posted April 12, 2012 Members Report Posted April 12, 2012 You should contact Dan At Campbell Randall. He's making me up something very similar for a lot less money. I was gonna post the costs and such after I got the details be it will be a few more days before he gets it for me. I know the price will be at least half of the cost of the European ones. Just FYI.

Andrew I called him this afternoon and forwarded the .PDF from Mando to him as well. Hopefully that will help give him an idea of exactly what it is we have in mind. I'll see how it plays out, since between shipping, power supply, and long-term service, we're looking at a couple hundred bucks just for that. Quote
Members Lippy Posted April 18, 2012 Members Report Posted April 18, 2012 Here's an update to the tool search. It appears that the tool in Peter Nitz's video is made in Romans sur Isère, France by "Pierre Regad et Fils". They don't seem to have a website. Check this out. http://www.francecuir.fr/entreprise/regad-ets--romans-sur-isere-300461336.html I did try to send an email asking for more information to <regad@regad.fr>. So far there's been no reply most likely because I don't speak French. Cheers again! Quote

So far there's been no reply most likely because I don't speak French. Cheers again! I think this may be incorrect. Some of those images are straight from the catalogue Mando.fr sent me. Also, this thread was made by Peter Nitz himself (look at the maker's stamp) and it mentions Mando to be the company that makes the machine in question. I'm just waiting on a response from Campbell-Randall to see what they come up with. If nothing pans out, I'll probably just buy the one from Mando... Quote
Members Lippy Posted April 19, 2012 Members Report Posted April 19, 2012 It appears that Mando has updated their website. http://mando.fr/ It's now easy to see that they distribute for many different companies associated with the leather trades. P. Regad & Sons manufactures the leather pyrography tools distributed by Mando and others. Quote

Moderator Art Posted April 22, 2012 Moderator Report Posted April 22, 2012 He is probably using Vergez Blanchard Pricking Irons. Steven Siegel may have some left, call him at 805.570.5251 or 336.293.7624. They go by spi and number of teeth. Art Awsome video, thanks for the post.

I needed a pricking iron that made a mark exactly every 1/8", and the #8 vergez-blanchard from Siegel was off by a tiny fraction of an inch. I ended up buying a Joseph Dixon model instead and it works great. Quote

Members Heartwood Posted June 26, 2012 Members Report Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks so much for the discussion. I went to the Leather Forever exhibition by Hermes in May in London and saw them use the iron tool, simply couldn't remember the name of the supplier although it was printed (labelled) on the wood handle of the tool! Life will be so much easier with it. I will definitely get a set. Quote
