Tools Of A Swiss Sattler

[walter roth]

Hello leather craftsmen ..............

Here is a splitting machine from Swiss production.

The company, there is still, but the machine you can not get even sure 35 years.

It was produced by the company Urben & Co. .... http://www.urdo.ch/index.html.

This machine is the only Moell I know with which one can be very good wedge shape.

This is the Rieme eingführt simply with the two rolls and split it, then turned back out again until it falls to the crank by itself, and the next belt can be introduced.

Very einfch to use.

Massive machine ÜR long operation.

One can thus normally split, but it is not really practical to use, set the de thickness is too cumbersome.

Consider here as a lot of fun.

Ps: The company "Simon & Co. Biel" was only a distributor of these "Praktikus" sold

Hello leather craftsmen .......

Do you have something geehen ever .....??

You Findt it in Blanchard catalog.

Yes, ......................it is a belt-tensioner for saddle makers, so that the tension the English saddle trees.

Were stretched with 6 cm wide hemp belts the saddle tree.

The part is around 100 years old, if not more.

Very rare to see.

Since I have learned the saddle making and have made ​​about 50 of them, I knew immediately what it is for and bought it immediately.

I just got 10 of them newly produced, but the more modern, better model.

The saddle trees of today are not the same as 100 years ago.

Ah yes, the last picture of a small insight into my reserves

Here I have some pictures of a belt-hole machine.

The operation is so good to see.

This is not an invention of Weaver .... ((-: but were n of Switzerland hergstellt long.

Here by the company "Urdo" - "Urben and Co."

The machines were widespread, worked very well and are easy to handlings.

The Quality of this machine is top notch.

The hole punch can be well replaced.

So here are the pictures.

Looks a bit different as the Weaver ..... ((((((-:

Walter, that is a beautiful machine.

Would it be possible to find such a machine in Schwitzerland (used or new) and how much would such a machine cost?

[walter roth]

Hello simontuntelder

So, the perforators are now no longer so easy to find, usually they have those they also often use in their work.

For old saddlers you find nothing, because they are all dead now also here in Switzerland.

But there is still a safe somewhere, who used the machine a little and they would sell it, ...... just takes a little to ask.

Costs ....?

I think it would be so cost around 1000-1500 francs.

Switzerland is generally an expensive country, but ............. it also deserves the workers a good wage.

I would not exactly up to you to make it work properly, but ... they are usually in very good condition.

The Lochpfeiffen this because if you can still get what is missing.

I know of someone else who has a new man hole machine, ie ......)) that was never used. ((

I once asked him what he wants for it ..... let's see what he replies.

Hello simontuntelder

So here's something about Saddler Chest of the Swiss Army.

Of course it had earlier also in the saddlery with horse-drawn artillery, or cavalry.

Who were better equipped, unfortunately I have found to no regulations.

But here purely to subject some impressions.

Such cases will be no more, they were dismantled by the army during decommission into individual parts and sold the contents of the crates for some part, only a few years ago. The things come from my colleagues who learned the profession with me, he was in his army saddlery.

On the Reglment is in the upper left corner ....... "satellite Zwicker," So saddlery ud the name .... Zwicker.

I went to the cyclists, I was in the booth of our present Komagnie Council for defense, Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer.

greeting

Walter
