Tools Of A Swiss Sattler

[walter roth]

Hi leather craftsman...

Tor : Thank you for your praise.

Here is what titled collar manufacturing.

you need these tools. so-called "Rhembourroir" in French, or "Collar filling sticks" on German.

With which it fills rye straw in the collars, so in the prepared leather cover.

These here are by Blanchard, I've never seen such from other workshops.

Small Yes, but not the large 1 m - 1.40 m length.

There are Sword-shaped blade, so as that you need the cutting Ahlen to sew, then in cross-section, oval, flat and round.

Some of these myself many times have used here.

How to use it, I think I'm going to a later once a series where you can see the collar production.

The flat Füllstöcke, which was used for the fill of seat cushions.

I like her but do not like to work, I'd rather have the itself made, the flat are too flexible to me.

Walter

Hello Macca

The so-called "Nähkloben", as set out in the Switzerland hot, or as you say "Stitching-Clamps", which used more so for decades no one here no longer.

Thus, you can make no ordinary program.

Also the grpssen Molle which are so-called "sewing steeds" (sewing horses) here already use which come.

Here to use only such things, which is available in different price ranges, this is the best, but also the most expensive.

It is appropriate and makes work easier for very... The clamping mechanism is very strong and hold the leather to the sew safely and securely.

mein Gott

der Preis!

That was an expensive stitching pony (clamp) it looks good. Here is the Norwegian stitching horse with steel legs. http://www.finn.no/finn/torget/annonse?finnkode=42320432&searchQuery=J%F8rn+jensen

Its expensive but not so much as the Swiss one. This is 2990 Nok = 506 US$ or 381 Euro.

They also make a couple of Geifuss`s here; in V and U profile (U and V grooving iron). Norway and Switzerland are among the world most expensive countries to shop in.

Absolutely correct Macca...((((-:

The Switzerland is expensive...

Norway also.

But I think one of the most important items have a SADDLER must.

The clean sewing is the scale of each leather work, not the decoration on the leather. Unfortunately, many leather artisans confuse this.

The professional man looks at always the seam just comes and then the rest comes.

And the sewing horse is what you need, in addition to the tools the most important.

I have seen very many leather artisans, they could make often excellent decorations, but the hand-sewing work was mostly bad, the bites way too big, who sewed the thread not sunk back, visibly crossed, etc.

I would really recommend, buys a good sewing horse and learns once at a SADDLER sew how with the.

Yes, I know really well and finely sew Sattler, which are also hard to find.

I use my sewing horse for 30 years, it is still good.

at the company Bernhard in Worblaufen, Switzerland, found a slightly cheaper model, the mechanism which is but not quite as good.

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

Here at last, the way how I came to the embossing plates for the box-loops.

First I tried part then Yes to make such casts, with the metal adhesive "Araldite black" here the schwarzgraue.

In the Araldite is it however schweirig genaz z just work, because the original leather loops were 100 years old and of course warped and weird.

Also tolerated these plates 8 metric tons not more pressure as s, 12 tons they got cracking.

That because that glue is not very compact, it has always Lufstblasen like in the cheese.

You can no longer use such plates for a small series.

Then we have the pattern on Kuperplatten gfrässt to make ...bei quite simple geometric patterns.

These copper plates used during "Erosion" as electrical pole, EDM works Yes by elekrtischem power.

While the Kuper is worn but also, which means that the edge will always round, always flat. You can use 2 times the coppers to make tools, then they are consumed.

The steel plates that I see here who have moved I have hard chromium for rust protection, layer in the "Durit" - 1-1/2.

It lasts decades but expensive.

By the way, have I to crisp the steel plates still, I did it with a graver as the engraver used him. You can see it in the corners well...

The Rhombus of the hatch with a tool, I looked that this pyramid-shaped hollows a smoother surface get what one sees on the embossed leather very well.

Somehow American and Swiss computer not good adjourn itself, which lyrics I are great once, then underlined, then small.............))-:

posted some pictures of some French stuff that was waiting on me when I got back

http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=50618entry322187

will keep me busy over winter refurbishing this lot

more to come, I seriously need to stop buying stuff !

[walter roth]

Hello Macca

Did you buy anything without the plough blades for the ploughs...???...((-:

The first knife in the left row down, because I would be interested if you want to sell it once!

The eyelet machine is very nice, with the brass parts because.

In the half-moons it will be difficult if she surface on which rust scars, you won't get that.

If one has once honed the blade up these scars, then it hardly still possible a good cut to grind.

I've posted here even in the tread how I loop the things, I'd also the splitting machine with the lea make compound.

Here again the link to do so. http://www.Lea.co.UK/help-and-advice/reference-charts/greaseless-abrasive-compounds.php

There is nothing better, and it is much more effective as any other polishing paste.

Grit No. 80 and 120 are ideal.

I will make a few photos to the topic and set here.

Greeting

Walter
