Looking for a Rein Rounder

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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,

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.
