Hi leather craftsman...

Finally, the images of my leather edges polishing apparatus.

But as I said, I use only for small things and such you are swinging at belt tips, etc.

Belt I prefer with the polishing cloth by hand and hang with the belt usually on the hole for the buckle pin on a hack on the wall.

I have now finally once again prepared the machine that made it new material and left a piece of wood I sometimes can work with after a belt hole inflicted.

I had just no suitable boxwood more, so I took this just a piece of olive wood...((((-:

But as I said, growing to the plaster I use never, so I've eingewachst here only the wooden parts.

Who wants to build something yourself, the engine power is quite small, very cheap to have the engines. I think, so $100 would suffice for the motor.

This is a motor of the German company "Bauknecht", a famous washing machines manufacturers.

It is a normal three-phase motor with 0.18 kilowatts of power and provided with a thermal protection.

He makes 2800 rpm, and the v-belt can reduce about speed to 50%.

The shaft is left and right set of ball bearings easily with 2 pressed ball bearings.

Greeting

Walter

Hello Walter,

Great machine for burnishing. Nice to have one that can be permanently mounted on a bench. I use burnishers in a Dremel and drill, as well as a Foredom type tool. I think the base that you have for the shaft is very unique and well made.

Changing the subject, I have been busy on You Tube, watching and listening to "Oesch's die Dritten". Have you heard of them? Wonderful Yodelers and a great family group. Switzerland has some superb talent. Appezeller Talent at it's best.

God Bless.

Ray

Hi Ray...

The "Oeschs" are not so well known in the Appenzell region here in Europe already.

Yes, we Appenzell believe that we make the best folk music.

This is also so superb musicians, such as the Alders and the "Alderbuebe". http://www.alderbuebe.ch/

Click on the page Troy and then start the player. they are very good especially with the violin. I like the best title no. 12.

This music played in my brother's wedding.

The "boys" are now even staunch fathers and grandfathers.

You are versed in "Classical music" and exceptionally good in this folk music.

I personally like the "Hackbrett" love most. (English probably hammered dulcimer)

I think also the Appenzell costumes from Appenzeller Woman ( Festtagstracht ) some of the most beautiful in Europe.

But there is only the 70'000 in two cantons of Appenzell, nothing more.

Greeting

Walter

_{Hi leather craftsman...}

_{Fast times here what klenies, what I just did.}

_{I bought this oval Dixon hole last week, they were rusted but strong.}

_{Now I made them clean and they have become very useful.}

_{I have enough hole iron, but it was still a shame to them.}

_{Are still of the old style, that is to say, they were flat forged in such as pricking irons, then forged around a mandrel and forged together in the fire.}

_{Finally has sharpened them outside and brought in the form.}

_{But now they are very smooth and the hole parts leather fall out light.}

Hi leather craftsman...

So, with much delay now what on the topic of bone glue to the shine of the leather edge.

First I must say, that we do not with something shiny Sattler which edges which are in daily use to peel or a hard layer wears on.

With bags manufacturers such as Louis Vuitton, you can see that very often, namely that they the edges with a thick varnish shine.

A Saddler but does not make it, he wants so that its edges are water repellent, but remain flexible and not everywhere, where the strap through the buckle goes through, be quickly ugly because the paint is crumbling.

So the edges are very nice with bone glue, and the better to prepare the edges, they become the more beautiful.

When individual pieces can clean edges off them, good sanding, moisten several times and again after they grind something.

But now to the promised recipe for bone glue.

)))) 50 grams of bone glue and 1.2. dl water. ((((((

Bone glue I used here, is Perlenförmig, but already to ground. I was the glue beads slightly crushed with a hammer.

No matter in what form, is there 50 gr. Glue beads it into a container of copper, aluminium, glass or porcelain and 0.12 liters water.

That lets you soak. Depending on grain size between 15 minutes and 3 hours.

He is so crushed in my photos that takes only 15 minutes.

the glue should not in a vessel made of iron be warmed, because it reacts with iron and is black.

I did it in my old oven of glue, which is made of copper. Earlier all joiner used for its hot glue these ovens.

If it is swollen, so is there oven in the glue water, preferably hot water from the faucet or from the kettle.

To set small glue pot use in the water, then the small burner ignites.

This old here with me, which is filled with lamps Peroleum. But also a burner with alcohol is good to use.

He burns with petroleum just very long and it takes very little petroleum.

The flame is very small set and place it in the oven.

After about 15 minutes, bone glue is hot and pretty thin.

Bone glue should never really Cook, but only on ))) maximum 65° (((

heated, he changed otherwise and is worse in its properties.

Now simply drag with a felt piece apply to the lederkannte and the belt through the gloss cloth.

That is done knew.

You can something increase the amount of water or somewhat less water, that can test each one of you itself.

If you cool the glue, then he is like gelatin.

It dries the time from and is then again like a chunk of wax.

He can warm up again at any time, but with a little water and can be used with new.

As long as he is but gelatin-like, only just newly warm until he is pretty fluid, and already, it can be used again.

Sometimes it can also happen that the glue begins to mouldy before it has completely dried.

Want to prevent that so one can admit 5% - 10% of the weight of the glue in Glycerin.

For 50 gr. Glue ....... so 2.5 - 5 g Glycerin.

Glycerin to preserve, and also softens the glue.

Greeting

Walter.

...by the last picture you can see how bone glue into the glue pot has cooled down, ...er does not fall out.

Hi leather craftsman...

Now something about the bone glue.

The edge gloss I've bought here in the Switzerland always, which was bottled in bottles and stayed thin. He could heat up at normal temperatures without be used at any time.

In the gloss, bone glue was solved with ...... Isoprophylalkohol.

May be an addition of 2-5 % was... ( 40% vinegar acid ) mixed with.

The acetic acid prevents bone glue is hard, but can be which is not necessary in the Isoprophylalkohol.

I'll test it yet.

It would be anyway, quite interesting if you could mix so tried and true edges shine itself, so that he at any time, cold out of the bottle, can be used.

Greeting

Walter

Hi Walter, Thank you for your recipe for pearl glue, especially the tip about using glycerine to slow down mould growth. I only make up small amounts at a time using an old saucepan and a gas camping stove as I could not find a decent glue pot. I also tend to add black stain to the glue to save time when finishing edges as this is the most often used finish but usually I have a second pot with no stain in for the lighter colours. My husband hates the smell but I find it no worse than his socks after being inside wellington boots all day !! I would also like to say how much I have learnt from your posts about all your beautiful tools especially the post about box loops the only problem being it has given me a lot more ideas for my harness work and now I need to find time to work on it along with the many other ideas I find on this site.
