Tools Of A Swiss Sattler

[raysouth]

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.

greeting

Walter

Hello Walter.

The edging tool is very unique. Are such tools still available today?

Have never seen anything like it in the U.S.

God Bless.

Hi Ray ...Hi Ray ...

The tool you mean.

It is believed to have been made ​​only for Switzerland because here we have distributed the leather work of the army under the saddlers.

For certain work, it was probably very helpful, but you have the blade ...... very ..... ... be very sharp, otherwise it is not good to use.

I will, if I find one off operations, set it here in case someone wants to buy it, but it is very uncertain whether I ever find such a thing.

They usually cost very little, the most saddlery can not grind the knife.

Very nice Walter, (you won the fotball match by the way, Norway play way to bad to participate in the world championship. But Soccer might not interest you much? Its also way out of topic) Back to your nice tools again. There is that maker name again, on the plier in pic # 6319, your post # 124. The same maker stamp as on the knife Macca sent me, who makes those tools Walter. Its German is it not ?

Nice ebony handle on than tool from Stoltz à Paris. I know it means pride in German and in Norwegian it means the same "Stolt". Norwegian is a German language too. But seriously in French its only a name, a German name too I guess.

I have been looking for French tool makers listings on the web. I found this site with maker stamps from Thiers, http://www.couteaux-jfl.com/marques.htm

where they made knifes. I do not know if they made any leather tools there, changes are they did some. The center of French leather tools has to be Paris, no doubt about it. I wish I could speak better French (its very bad, it comes from experience driving a truck "LKW" down there for some years)

Thanks

Tor

Hi Tor....................

As for what sort I am weak, only what I myself made that I know well.

I was paragliding, cave-diving have made........often in central franckrich in Emmrgence de Ressel, Fontdel Truffe, Trou Madama etc. ......

Then I dived trimix to 105 meters deep and of course I went riding and had also driven coaches. ...... (((-:

and otherwise still a few other things.

The side with the knives is good, I mus times investigate further.

The Markzeihen mt "L in the Oval" is a tool maker from Germany.

Was in Suhl and has produced from about 1910 to 2005 in several generations, he died a few years ago.

When is something I'm not sure .... I think whose name was "Langenhahn".

He really put forth a good Tools, ...............better as blanchard.

A colleague of mine has bought with him his last "Plough Gouges."

Walter

You Are a very sportive man then, I did some bicycling years ago - Marathon races like Trondheim-Oslo race (530 km). Buts thats years ago, now I only walk my dogs; long trip`s every day. I think thats is more healthy than pressing your body to it maximum all the time like all people like to do now. You use up your body reserves this way, you better just keep it in shape by being normal active. Para gliding and cave diving seems like allot of fun. We use to go to the river Spa in Malmedy for canoing when I lived in Belgium, thats was also fun. Then we went to the French Rivera in the weekends to play on the beach, we lived in the center of Europe (Antwerp). A couple of hours to Paris, five hours to London, one hour and twenty minute to Amsterdam. Try doing a couple of hours in my country, you will not get far. The distance from Oslo to Norkapp (the most Northern point of Norway) is about the same as Oslo - Milan (Italy).

Every time you are telling me that a German tool maker is dead, it making me want to cry. Why want anybody of the German young people want to keep on their great traditions. Everybody just want to use computers today, nobody want to be craft mens any more..lazy bastards...

OK have a good night.

Later

Thank you

Tor
