Tools Of A Swiss Sattler

[walter roth]

Hello fivewayswelshcobs..................

I've made many saddles.

But non-English ...sondern French.

Which differ in the saddle pad they are associated, but made extra and felt and then covered with leather with the inner leaves of the saddle.

But otherwise they are built, such as the English on strained wood trees.

It delighted of course, if the articles you find here interesting...((((-:

Yes, bone glue smells somewhat strictly, and if it is old in the form of plates, he smells a little more.

Earlier could not be clean produce glue as they are today, that old bone glue is a little bit better.

But as I said, I'll try whether you can hold liquid with "Isoprophylalkohol", so that you can always take it out of the bottle and use.

The alcohol then completely covered the smell of bone glue.

Pots for hot glue can be found everywhere, every Carpenter had used as a pot.

I found my 3 at flea markets and old Saddlers.

Here are some links.

A product by the way, comes from the United States, but even the Chinese make which then of course very cheap at the price.

It is written with........ "Hold Heet Glue Pot, EMCO Electric Co. made in Chicago IL."

Here are just a little expensive in the Switzerland, you should be much cheaper.

I use the little oven as shown on the picture, which is but already a great model with a capacity of approx. half a litre.

The small burner with petroleum is sufficient as a heating system.

I think this small oven have used also mainly the Sattler, because Carpenter needed much larger amounts.

They were often right large wood stoves in combination with Heisleimbehältern.

Here a very nice model.

Also, the book binder and the Gilder and many other craftsmen needed bone glue.

Hi leather craftsman...

I have now finished the recipe for the liquid brilliance of edges of bone glue and tried out.

Earlier I chewed the gloss Yes finished one, today, there are unfortunately no longer him.

So, as you can see on the pictures, I have bone glue with 1.2 dl water swell again 50 grams.

Then he is to a chunk which is like jelly, or like a little hard vanilla pudding...((-:

I give into the glue pot and heat it until it is pretty liquid.

Then I give to isopropyl alcohol and casters 0.8 dl. the warm Knochenlein in a glass container.

The glue separates then something and looks weird, you can see it in the pictures.

But never mind, we stir few minutes well it and he is again consistent. To the touch but something out picks copper or chromium steel use, so that the glue will not discolor.

Now let the glue cool and while he is evenly dissolved in the isopropyl alcohol.

Now we cast even a tablespoon of Glycerin to, so that the edges gloss is slightly smoother.

the gloss is now permanently liquid and can warm up at any time without use.

Just on the edge of the leather and shiny with a cloth rub.

The shine because the alcohol in a sealed container store, otherwise the alcohol evaporated naturally.

You want to have slightly thicker consistency, add just some bone glue, but only as long as it is still warm, otherwise it improperly blends.

So the recipe again:

50 Grams of bone glue.

Let 1.2 DL. to swell in water.

0.8 DL Isoprophylalkohol to the liquid to keep the bone glue.

1 Tablespoon Glycerin.

The gloss I made here is now 2 weeks old and he no longer separated, yes he stayed pretty fluid and evenly.

There should be a sediment, simply shake before use.

So check it out, because you can the components to the edges glory decades store without that they are bad.

Greeting

Walter

Hello everybody...

I was last weekend when a customer of mine.

He repainted the carriage and collects them.

He has also a Museum for the people to the look at the coach.

He has a few really nice and elegant carriage by Swiss truck farmers.

The Switzerland based fashion above all to Paris and not England.

Because the French were the masters of elegant lines.

I did the upholstery in the car, leather covering tops and the sky in the.

then the buck wedges, so the wedge - cushion for the Coachman and the spraying ceilings, so leather cover with which the driver protected from dirt and water spray.

These leather covers are folded on the splash Board at the front of the carriage and fastened with leather straps.

Then I did of course also the fenders.

All with 2 layers of leather by approx. 3 mm thick, painted and grained (Buffalo scars).

And of course they are sewn by hand.

I could do unfortunately not really good photos. In the Museum are lamps on the ceiling that show strong and I had also some little time, I could not extra nice make the carriages because the space there.

then I took a few photos of collars, which are also out of my hand.

so-called ( Bündner-Kummte ) = Bündner-Collars, were used here to moderate work, these are not for carriage.

the I dare that made have, I'm always on the Board behind the backrest, my name, the date, the prize for the work. the time that I needed to, etc. posted.

At some point in 100 years that will read maybe someone if he dare have be done to...Maybe...(((-:

So much fun with the watch.

Greeting

Walter

Nice work, Walter. I know nothing about it, so I can't critique it, but you're obviously very talented.

So have any of you bought some nice tools or machinery? :-)

[walter roth]

Hello leather craftsmen .....

Now I had finite time to get ready a "free" tag to the tool.

It is a Rein-Rounder from HF Osborne.

I sanded it, polished the holes and made the new base.

Unfortunately, the casting quality was often poor 100 years ago, the cracks here and a piece was missing.

Now I have all produced beu.

Do you like the part ....?

And Bruce .................

Are you satisfied me me .... ((((-:

regards

Walter
