Tools Of A Swiss Sattler

[Trox]

The Sieck machines are the same as the Cowboy brand (see banner top site). The Adler 205-370 copy is a bit more expensive that the Juki copy.

Hello Tor ............

I have been looking for years not to such machines, and I did not realize how cheap is to have something like that today.

So it would be superior to whether I should replace my old eagle 5/8.

The straight Sieck offer this Chinese amazes me, but it is also very pleasant for the price.

Mus times I really worry about it.

The old yes, the Eagles have already annoyed about a problem ....., generations of upholsterers ............

I mean ...... that you can omit the stitches never 100% correct in de machine.

The triple feed are there better.

greeting

Walter

Late to the topic, but truly beautiful tools. Amazing how most of the world has lost the art of tool making. Also very interesting is the many similarities between American and European leather tools. Not a great surprise since the one descended from the other. Some of the differences are also fascinating. The Spanish in the "New World" went in directions quite different than northern Europe.

Walter, you have my admiration and appreciation for communicating so well in a language that clearly wasn't your mother tongue. I had a couple of years of German in university, but I'd not be able to do anywhere near as well as you have.

Yes thank you.

I will hire more photos in de next few days, over the weekend I have time.

Topic splitter.

And of course some tools to do so.

Tools from Spain I übrigns almost never seen ......

But the American Osborne Gomp etc. that seem very different from those descended England.

I mss but say that are of Gomph etc. really very fine and of good quality. And I'm going to set a job here that I have also done as a saddler. But it has nothing to do with leather ..... ((((-:

It is a weapon, more precisely, a Submmachinegun - Villar-Perosa a Model of Italy from 1911 - 1915, with 2 barrels and 1,500 rounds per minute ........ per barrel.

Well I know here "of topic", but I've read in the profiles that there are some who are quite happy to have Guns ....... (((-:

When there is a genuine Swiss au naürlich so ...... they like something.

So, to liven it may be a slightly different photo sher sometimes.

Hi Walter,

you know you got my attention when it comes to splitters and especially Spanish tools. I have been looking after Spanish tools for a long time and I am not alone. Several US members of Spanish heritage is interested too. So please bring it on.

About splitters; I received two 8" mod # 86 splitter blades from Bruce, he knows I have been looking everywhere for one since the Norwegian company TROMAS AS ruined mine. Bruce gave me those two blades for free, thank you very much Bruce. They are of cause old blades, with a little sharpening/polish they will be very good.

Walter,

we look forward to see some Spanish tools. The Spanjols had to have some good tools to, they have great knifes and sword traditions. How come we never see any of these tools.

Thanks

Tor

Tor...............

Oh, I probably worded bad in English ....

Spanish tools I can not show, I do not and I can not even take pictures.

But I've worked in the teaching profession for saddlery with a Spanish Sattler together ..... Ramon commanded the.

I have contacts in Spain, but I would have time to go to Spain on holiday.

as I should have been years, but there have always moved.

Well one else has a lot to do ......)) -:

I've seen things Spanish, but also the Blanchard used, along with some typical spain tools.

Unfortunately, I never took photos and it's been a long time.

But the Spanish are the tools look like us here 200 years ago.

Stopped somewhere in time.

But I will now go into the workshop and photograph my Splitter.

So for the first ....3-4 ...... ((-:

Thank you Walter, to bad the Spanish tools are nowhere to be found on the Internet. Even Spanish talking member have a hard time locating any. So they stopped in time 200 years ago, thats interesting. If anybody have any info about Spanish leather tools please let us know.

You can go to Spain in the weekend when you live in Switzerland, like I did when I lived in Antwerp (Belgium) 20 years ago.

I look forward to see the splitter.

have a nice weekend.

PS.

Do you use a online German-English translator like Google translate. Here is a smart little English spell check I am using, you can use it anywhere by right clicking (with your right mouse button) and on every text. http://www.iespell.com/ You have to install it on your computer of course. It does not translate, only do spell checks

Thanks

Hello leather craftsman

Here, for the beginning of time as the leather splitter s model of Oborne looks, but at the but some details are different

The 2-nd roll up (brass) and the crank down.

This is the model that was common in Europe, and is now hard to find.

So much fun, then more tomorrow.
