Nice job, I love old machines -crude, simple and effective- Something similar now days wouldnt last half as long. :offtopic: is that an elbow engine behind the punch handle in the last pic? -B- |

| Barefoot-Leather:
Just an update on Stew's postings. The punches are working extremely well and hold their sharpness really well. They are used almost daily. The platten is awaiting further expert attention - It is fitted it to the fly-press but I really need to bolt the whole thing firmly onto a solid base. I ought to explain that Stew's explanation of how I intend to use the thing was a bit 'left of centre' although along the right lines. I want to use it to press tools which are rather like letterpress printer's plates into wet leather. What he showed you was a leather carving done with a knife. Just wanted to set things straight! LOL Finally the little hand press is in perfect order and ready for work - as soon as we modify the shape of the press tools that set the press studs. Thanks Stew - they have all been given a new lease of life! What Stew doesn't know yet is that I have four more little machines for him to play with... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3331319&l=a5080d9186&id=721456171 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3331322&l=20faa3f6a0&id=721456171 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3331323&l=33aa9b5726&id=721456171 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3331327&l=f82f3b3996&id=721456171 Ray |

Hi Ray They look interesting bits of kit, I take it the last pic is the eyelet putterinner you were telling me about, we'll have a good play with that next week when we're over at your place, I'm sure our bosses will keep them selves occupied for a couple of hours. :) Cheers Stew |
