Clicker Dies

[catskin]

I've been looking but as yet have not found any information on where I can buy small dies for cutting leather conchos like the ones used on saddles that the laces go through. If anyone knows where they can be gotten or has used ones for sale please let me know.

Here is one company that makes custom clicker dies. There is more out there for sure.

You could also try your luck on ebay.

the leather conches (rosettes) I use on my samples are cut using an Osborne rosette cutter I got at springfield leather. I cut the handle off so I could use it with

my press but you can use it as a hammer punch. They have various sizes. Here's a link: http://springfieldleather.com/16627/Cutter%2CRosette%2C-2%22/

I just looked at the Weaver retail prices on dies, they sure know how to make a buck. If I have been based in the USA I could have made an account with them. Before a minimum purchase of 500 $ a year was required, I do not know if its still like that. They have allot of nice stuff, thats for sure.

I have not bought from them (still looking for a nice vintage clicker) but I once found this Ebay seller who offers custom dies for 35€ per "meter".

Test the waters for us please, Constabulary.

I saw that add, as I'm used to going through ebay.de - I've sometimes come across some nice, handy mallet dies on eBay.de.

Now I'm looking to have some regular dies made, once I find a good, reliable and hopefully fairly priced maker of dies.

I think I'll buy a Lucris III clicker

[Constabulary]

Well - no Clicker - no dies.

I was also thinking about the Lucris III but thats still too much money for the few item I would click.

Constabulary have you looked at Texas Dies clickers. Thy make out of those things, can't think of it right off hand that Harbor Freight sells for people to make their own clickers. However these already have the clicker plates on them and sell for 400+ and 600+. I'm getting one. Cheryl

Thanks Cheryl. I have seen a bunch of shop press solutions on LW.net and this of course is not a bad idea but I´m absolutely in no hurry and I really prefer vitage machinery. I do not make serious money with my hobby and there are still some other things on my "like to have list"
