Jobbing (leather tools)
Krown Kustoms:
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?

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...

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
