[Trox]

Thank you Bruce

Let's see if I'll be here a lot of use .... (((-: I just found you on the weekend of the Louis Hombrechtikon know also.

http://www.leder-louis.ch/

I've known him for 30 years.

2 nice tools you sold him.

There is also a swiss Manufacturer makes the Edger.

It is the very famous company "Pfeiltools" in Langenthal.

They are very well known for its wood carving Accessories Welding.

They make Edger they are very easy to perform, but they need some exercise to regrind them.

They have a round bottom so that they are easy to carry over the edge, but with a straight blade. Really very fine quality.

3 sizes to about 35 dollars a piece.

But they are not in the catalog, just ask! ....!

The website is in English. http://www.pfeiltool...stributors.html

MKO GmbH in Germany.The Wolfgang Zwanzig of the Company MKO is not as old, but it never asked.

I will certainly Reports, with Photos when I was with him.

This Manufacturer has previously worked for Tool -Traders, the Craftsmen knew this Company does not, because the dealer kept the secret Addresses.

That is the reason why almost no one knows it Today.

Unfortunately, he did not have a Website, a great pity.

I'll talk to him.

Hello Walter & Tor & all you other tool freaks !

I was in Paris about 30 years ago to visit the shop of Blanchard & I saw those tools made for the Paris exhibition in a glass case . I couldn't sleep for weeks after seeing those tools . All the knife blades were polished like mirrors and the metal ferrules were engraved silver . Alas the tools made now by Blanchard are nothing like the the ones of earlier times .

I have a good collection myself of all those old round knives with ebony handles & some you don't have I'll try to get the courage to post some pics . Walter , I see you are not too far from Geneva . I have to install some beds I covered with leather in a hotel there & wondered if I could pass by your place in St . Gallen to say hello & touch some of your tools ! It would be at the end of August ? I wouldn't stay long to bother you . What do you think ? I also speake pretty good French as I suppose you do ?

The best edge tools I ever had I made myself from stubbs steel 7% carbon and hardened in light oil . You just can't buy edge tools that cut from the factory . WHY ? ? ? I think I've spent more time sharpening edge tools than actually doing the edges .

Hope to hear from you about the visit .

Best Regards ,

Hello Ralph.

I am unfortunately no French, but would surely find someone who can translate.

English unfortunately too little, but the problem would dissipate safely. I would sure find which helps us and speaks perfect English.

St. Gallen is approximately 280 kilometres from Geneva.

If you are willing to look past but surely and we stir us even through the tools, leather-splitting machines, etc.

End of August would be no problem.

Well the tools by Blanchard, who were very nice.

But about 8 years ago, I was once in the Poursin, there, I've seen many old boards with horse harness fittings of various world exhibitions.

Gold plate coated, and beautifully engraved stuff.

Unfortunately the Camera in Paris was stolen from me, about 200 photos of the old fittings are no longer available.

These were part of the Time from Napoleon the third.

http://www.poursin-Paris.fr/

What you can see of it still on the website is the same issue as with the tool by Blanchard.

Louis Vuitton but still gets its fittings of Poursin.

Steel for tools.

I have tested my good Half Moon once, the good have 64 Rockwell hardness.

These are to grind the very good and they are almost always made ​​from geschmideten plates, ie forged under the big machine hammer.

Unfortunately, this long no longer made​​.

If you're with me, I'll show you time how do I loop it.

I make them by hand or by machine, but have a special grinding paste from England.

http://www.Lea.co.UK/abrasive/comps3.htm

Lea Compounds is a fatless grinding paste themselves to the work of grinding very well is ideal.

She so much material takes away that sparks spray, but it is a paste that to a normal slice of sewn fabric.

The half moons get not an ever darker angle, they remain thin and easy to grind.

As a second step I take a polishing paste and finally a strop as at the razor.

I think the good hard Arkansas unfortunately little more I mean the grey to anthracite dark that seem almost transparent.

I use Lea compund for croppers, etc.

So, now, but enough for today.

Hi there.

Here are some of the few pictures I've taken with the Digitalkammera.

It is a Renault from 1911 was built at the Swiss company Saurer Arbon truck.

That is, only 1911 Renault supplied the frame the frame and underbody of the car including the engine.

Everything else was made in custom.

The calculation of the time is still there, it was 13 `000 francs.

At that time, the sufficient to build a large mansion.

The HOlzaubau was re-made, the engine and everything else obsolete, newly painted Polished etc.

The son wanted to get married, owner of the saddlery and always the letzteb craftsmen in such a work, I've spent the last Borden used as approximately 100 wedding guests were waiting.

that was the best advertising I have ever had, because these people enjoyed the aperitif, and amused themselves very gutm because something they had never seen before.

A Car-Sattler life to work.

The borders for the car, I left extra-weave, the brass parts on the car doors I made also new to.

The Ortiginale were made ​​of ivory, but since there is a trade ban for it, I took brass, in contrast to the silver mine was little.

The material is a heavy Woolen of about 650 grams per square meter. A so-called "Paspoil", swisslangwich, a Cavalry-cCoth, as you previously used this material for Uniforms.

The Leather of the Drivers-Bench is here color not good, I have photographed the Car in the Collection and in the Evening.

So I hope it makes you much pleasure.
