Tools Of A Swiss Sattler

[walter roth]

Hello leather craftsman ....

Here I have time to watch a few awls.

When preparing as Satter also collars, you need some of those things. The here I have almost all equipped with new grips.

I made ​​it myself "Turkish boxwood" on a wood lathe.

Beautiful handles are unfortunately hard to find, and the beautiful from the U.S. I did not know then.

Well, have not the classic European form.

Then some hammers consisted of my, even nowadays are hard to find, and when, gibts sure a collector of a high price must be paid to the offer.

So, I hope you like them.

The long thin awls are called hair remover like they used too upholsterer.

The Awl the ussieht like a dagger, which one makes also use the collar to the front to prick holes through which you can then pulls the belt through which you attached the wood on the collar.

These pieces of wood that are visible on the screen, which are small sewing-shears, with which you slide loops sewn on belts etc.

Then a few so-called "Geissfuss" or - "V-tools" as they are called here. "Geiss" is a Goat in Switzerland.

greeting

Walter

Hello leather craftsman ....

Here are a few bones.

Bone Folder to say here also.

The bones were previously used to, too beautiful to fold plans, ie in engineering and planning firms, they are used to do so today.

The one still bears the mark of Blanchard.

Beautifully as he previously formed.

Then a tool for cutting leather cords and make the holes around.

4 different types of U-Gauges how to make suitcase used to fold the leather.

And in the middle of two tools that were used only in Switzerland.

One sees clearly what ....... abzuschärfen around edges, a labor-french-edgern you can also do well with wide.

Hello leather craftsman ....

Here's what's "Rieffel" or Creasser in English.

Blanchard, German bone-baking, and one from the USA, I have series of Bruce Johnson, .... right on the very edge.

The scwarze tool from Indian ebony I made myself, I use it for splicing of slings.

Top center sees a "Osborne channeler" ... next to the pendant by Blanchard. Frensch-Edger by Blanchard, they are much larger as that of Gomph.

Then some "Abebner" used to purchase next to a seam to cut away the leather.

By Blanchard and "Rossler" from Germany.

Hello Macca, I received the knife today, thank you very much. A very fine knife that fits both my Mayer Flamery and Blanchard plough. I did expect it to be shipped from an other country, since you are a brit.

Thank you very much Macca, I owe you one.

Hello Walter, Thank you for explaining the process of making those embossing plates, I now understand the process. I also understand that the embossing process of the box loops will work best with a press like yours, when it gets some time to fixate. Thank you for taking the time to write it in German too, I understand German but have no practice writing it. You have posted a lot of new beautiful tools since last time I was on line. I love your Griffe à Molette Collection. As usual you dig up tools I never have seen before, what do you use those strange looking double crossed line pricking wheel for? (pic. #1, post #107) Are those for decorative seams? Where are you buying your wheels now? Blanchard. It does not look like you need any new ones for some years, thought. Pic.#5 and #6, post # 113 is a tool I never have seen before, is it something that only exist in Switzerland and perhaps Germany? Is it better to use around edges than a standard French edger?. About French edgers, it looks like they do not exist in France anymore. The Blanchard one in your pic looks very old to me, ebony handle its at least hundred years old. The tool you call "Abebner" to cut away leather close to seams, do you know the French name of this tool. I think Vergez Blanchard still list one like it "COUTEAU A SURTAILLER LAME MOBILE" # 3_756 http://www.vergez-blanchard.fr/boutique/liste_produits.cfm?type=31&code_lg=lg_fr&num=2&pag=2 with a knife who is removable. Blanchard do not have any good pictures of it. Is this the same tool?

About the new Adler 967 and 969H machines. I do not know any more about the price yet, Thomas Brinkhoff will inform me about it and a comparing with the TSC 441 machine too. The price is important of course. However, its a brand new machine that is bigger than any other cylinder beds on the marked today. It can not be compared to any clone machines, its not built to compete with those. Most important, this looks like it does not need any kind of modification for saddler use. They have made a machine for us leather workers, I hope we will be able to use it too. Yes,It all depends of the price of course.

Beautiful tools Walter, keep on posting; we love this stuff.

Hi Tor

The tools 4 - 5 - 6 or 6307 - 6307-6308 are normal parts known.

The French-Edger are just always been like that in Blanchard, but they are of better Gomph to work. Was just the European form.

The so-called "Abebner", yes the place is no longer in the program by Blanchard, another tool that has been abandoned.

But the model as shown by me is simply the older version, without changing - blade.

The models are even better for working, but they are not as easy to grind.

The model is the way of "Rössler", so "Melzer and Feller" in Thuringia.

The time has also worked with ebony buttons. the tool

So from the years before 1914, because after the war was ebony hardly find in Germany without its colonies and with the great inflation of the 20's years.

The tool in the picture 6203 is a grooved roller or "Molette", most of which were produced by "Rossler".

They did not serve to mark out the seam, but only for a quick simple decoration.

On the bell belt or leather covers, on top of the collars for Work of the harnesses, you could see that often.

Well found, I have these tools by old saddlers, often in such that they themselves have used and the previous owner had already taken their workshops.

I often had this for hours mourning the stories of widows endure by the saddlers .... (((-:

Walter
