Tools Of A Swiss Sattler

Hi Trox

This is precisely that of which I spoke, I just have too.

You can press the bracket forward so that it lifts the thin upper roller and then you can introduce the leather.

So you can once again reached Leather thickness equal split.

I'm going to make a few photos of my splitters on occasion. But it takes something as 2 weeks.

greeting

Walter

Ps: And of course we are all waiting curious about the beautiful Photos ..... (((-:

Thank you Walter,

My collection is nothing compared to yours, you got some years on me. I have not been doing leather work all my life. I will see what I can do after I have walked my dogs

Hi Tor...

Very thanks.

Well, you do what you can.........................

Can I get in the next few weeks even a sliver with crank from German production.

One of the very fine, lightweight, an very handy.

If I get it I will add it here, and if one is interested, he can buy them.

She should be not even expensive. .....)))))) But I still don't have it in my hands. ((((((

I do photos in the next few Days time of my Splitters, you see dan what it so looks like in the Switzerland.

I'm amazed that very good fine German Models are never anywhere to see, especially in the United States, not always.

Where are the Splitter-Machine ? just the all...?....)))-:

For me always amazing, this one in the United States for getting the old Leather-Plane-Encounters, the Splitter Type 86 from Osborne, etc.

Now they're easy and work well, I also use it for certain things.

So look forward to the photos from Tor..........................

Hello Walter, Ralph and all leather tool freaks,

I been asked to post pictures of my tools. I start with the strap cutters, draw and plough gauges. I use the draw gauge for reins under an inch wide, the plough`s for anything else. What makes a good plough gauge; I believe it is a good knife.

The one who works best of mine the wide 15 cm. Mayer Flamery (bottom and bottom left in the pic.), because it has the best knife steel. Then next (from the bottom) is a 10 cm. Blanchard. Of the same pattern they make today, but still old. It has a ebony handle knife, I always try to keep the ebony handles even when they have cracks. I fill them with epoxy glue.

Next is a J. Dixon 5 inch with a older knife made of his father T. Dixon. The last is a new German 15 cm. M. Paffrath OHG.

Left draw gauge is a CS. Osborne brass and the right is a old HF. Osborne latta pattern knife. In the background on steel unknown and a CS Osb. I am going to refurbish.

I will continue with the other tool as soon as I get them photographed.

Thanks

Tor

Here is some round and skiving knifes. Top row is French Blanchard's, Fernand Mayer, Mayer Flamery. Middle is various French skiving knifes, tranches, E. A. Berg Sweden and two Oslo knifes. Bottom row is CS Osb. and one HF. Osb.. A T. Dixon headknife with a (new handle) A Blanchard cornet (pardon my French) Blade without handle is a Mayer Flamery (which are very good knifes by the way, it will for sure get a new handle soon) I do have more knifes incoming.

Thanks

Hi again,

here are some more of my leather tools; I am a bit short stock on some types of punches. However, I have punches for my screw presses too. Hammers, hand sewing related tools, good old English John James and Son harness needles from the 1950`s or probably older.

Old linen thread from Bokens , Sweden; from a long gone spinning mill. A old book binders burnisher iron/slicker, CS. Osborn more than hundred years old glass slicker (from Bruce) and mostly US edging tools, one Swedish and a some Blanchard's. And a Norwegian handmade grooving iron (under the horn/bone tools).

My eight inch unmarked # 86 splitter and ten inch CS. Osb. splitter.

Thanks

Tor

Hello Tor

You have some good stuff, I like to see what others use for such tools.

A Dixon Plough, the model I have none, I have not yet found the right, that is, I do not really like Dixon, a Barnsley could be better. Well, I would not for anything easy money ......)) -:

And the rich Americans who always put their money at UBS, not with me ....... unfortunately .... ((-:

"If time will tell," ...... or just Barnsley. Hope you understand the old saying in my english ..... (((-:

I am amazed that you all Meyer and Flammery Plough have the wind made ​​of steel instead of brass.

You will find very rare that we thought here always, were very expensive and rare only during World War 1 and 2 produced such as brass.

Greetings

Hi Walter,

the Dixon plough gauge is very sturdy built, perhaps a bit over top. I cant imagine anybody who would cut leather that thick. However, this model is the most popular plough in the USA, and Australians are crazy about them. Bruce Johnson has a waiting list on them and they sell for top dollar. The Barnsley tools was always a bit less expensive than the Dixon and their plough was of a simpler construction. Here you see a old and a new Barnsley plough, I have seen tho older looking a bit better thought. The new is made of the sons of George Barnsley ( who lost the company name, they now may have got it back) Woodware rep.(pic two). The last picture is a plough with the old Barnsley maker stamp and has to be from some of the latest tools they made before the company closed down 2004 (I think it was). His sons continued to make wood working tools and some of his shoe making knifes (sold very cheap) under the name of Woodware rep. I think there has been a long fight against the legal system to get their maker name back, It seems like they have got it back now.

There is a private limited company by that name now. A member who lives near by has promised to visit them and get the complete story and check out whats on their catalog today. The latest plough gauge sure do not look like much.

Gate .....

I'm looking at a photo of a "Nähkloben" as it is called in Swiss German long which.

The wood part or the sewing pincer. you used to sew the thing really ....?

I've thrown away all those things, they are useless.

What you sewing your work ....?

I use the Swiss bdazu "Nährössli" ​​so the sewing horse.

Thus, the part looks http://www.bernhardw.../eb690a48df.jpg ...... where I have all my harnesses sewn.

greeting

The new Dixon are my poorly made, the Barnsley I like, but only the very old.

I had a very nice from England who was here once, should have bought it.

Everything from Gunnmetal ....

Well, someday I'll find one.

For practical purposes, I think better get updated very often Plough as that of Blanchard and Related Models.

They are also better than the models from England.

Always provided that the knives are properly sharpened,

that is, on the right side plane, and the inner side obliquely outwards

Greetings

Walter
