Looks pretty rough!  Frame made from 4 X 4 X 1/2" rusty angle iron, with minimal tools (drill, hacksaw, file).  Oh, and lots of wire brushing!

Pic 3 and 4 show skiving, then modified to allow more adjustment of the knife, pics 5, 6, 7, 8.  Knife holder needs to be re-done.  Tried milling a nice recess for the blade using an end mill in the drill press, but too much slop, so it jumped and tore out a small piece.  Now that I have a milling machine (which I haven't used yet since it is at my sons place) I should try prettying it up some.

Wow, great work! It looks heavier than the chinese.

Impressing work Tom, you have a future as a tool maker. Looks like your machine uses a very different angle on the blade and a more stable blade support. Are you able to skive upholstery type of leather on your machine or only firm leather.

Sorry I missed this long ago.  I just tried it on some upholstery leather.  Had to saw back and forth.  Might work a lot better if I put a new sharp blade in it.  Also stretched a little, though that might again be due to needing to replace or sharpen the blade.

Where did you get your little roller you used to slide the leather over under the blade? Thank you in advance and everything you do on this community page.

I made it on a little metal turning lathe that I have.

I bought one of these too!  Their video looks nice, but I could not get mine to work like in their videos.  So it sits in a drawer.  Bad purchase.

See my post third one from the start of this thread.
