jegenes Report post Posted May 1, 2020 HI, all Looking for a rein rounder, like the old Osborne ones. Would rather find a bench mounted one (with legs) instead of the vise-mounted type, but I'll consider either. I'm in New Zealand. The Weaver ones aren't shipping right now. Bruce Johnson has some, and though I don't mind paying top dollar for one, the shipping puts it out of range. Just looking to see if there are any other sources. New, old... doesn't matter to me, as long as it's a good, workable tool. Thanks. --john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeRock Report post Posted May 1, 2020 Why not build one out of your great Australian hardwoods? They take a high polish and you can just drill and taper the hole sizes you need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jegenes Report post Posted May 1, 2020 Hi, MikeRock, Yeah, thanks for the suggestion, but I've used wooden ones (well made, out of hardwood) and they just don't stack up to a good steel one. I'm not desperate for one just now, but would certainly like to find one. best, --john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomE Report post Posted January 5, 2021 I just purchased an old Osborne rein rounder from Bruce Johnson Leather Tools https://brucejohnsonleather.com/. They're hard to find (and expensive) but I am pleased with the job it does. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
