Bummer, looking forward to seeing the new blade though. Don't do that Mc Donalds thing, they won't let the shopdawgs in.

Morning Chef, sorry I'm late getting back to you. Bob has a small pamplet with his new tools on it, I believe the pony is on it. The vintage tools are to numerous to list and it's better to call him. He goes to lots of trade shows with his tools and it's nice to look at all the tools he's...

Chef, if archer can't get you fixed up. Bob Douglas in Sheridan Wy sells a stitching pony, he's a good guy to know as he deals in vintage leather tool and also supplys lots of new one built like the vintage ones. I'm not sure if he has a web site but if you need it I can email you a phone number.

I find the push type groover works the best on the backside for me ( I use the holes for my guide on the backside if it's in outta sight) The only groovers of this type that I know of are the old osborne's but they would be easy for a bladesmith to duplicate. I groove before useing the awl...

Sorry I'm late with the picture Colin. Here's the splitter I have here at home. It's a 8 inch blade, the one we have at the main shop has a 12"

Paul, I'm not aware of any Severe's in Colorado that build saddles. Bob Severe and his daughter in Idaho build saddles. Bob is a second cousin to my dad and grew up in Oakley Idaho. My dads family came from St Anthony Idaho, four of the brothers moved to Pendleton Oregon at the close of WW2...

I'll get you a picture today Colin. I just when to a leather show on Friday and spotted a lot of small splitters and one like I have. They have doubled in price since I got mine.

Chef, watch for the splitter that has a little wheel on the top at each side for adjustment. They were built in 8" and 12" wide. When sharp and adjusted right they do a real nice job splitting leather. The old Osborne twist handle splitter works for sheath sized leather but takes a little...

Most used machines in that price range won't have a heavy enough needle bar for sheaths. Wouldn't hurt to start your research now on what you want as you build funds. Good luck in your search.

Thanks Boss, time to start gathering material.

Chef, I have one I use when I'm cutting out saddle parts. The splitter/ beveler blade is only about 2" and is mainly used to to bevel leather to smothly make leather buildups in the shoe trade. I use it to bevel peices for the ground seats in saddles. It would only be usefull in rough...

Nice web site. please throw my name in the hat. Thanks, RS

I sure like that one Bruce, really like it. Robin

Looks great, like those leaves. Very nice combo.

I stopped and got a little help yesterday at Mr Bruce's shop. Thanks again Bruce. A little up date on this blade. It's getting close and is very cool. I got to see the engraving up close and it really sets this one off. You guys who get to see it at the show are gonna love it. Hope you...

Really nice, I like that design also.

Wow, really like those cats. I like the engraved leaf work also. Very cool stuff there.

They sure work together Bruce. Very nice, really like the edges. What a pair.

Those look great, thanks for posting the heads up. After seeing your bench I gotta go clean mine.

C Craft. I feels good when you get a tool that holds up to real hard use, feels good in the hand and will really get sharp. Most of the old vintage tools were that way and I have a lot of them. It sure makes me feel good to be able to match the steel in those old tools. Most all the credit goes...
