@Edgar Welch You could try a manual paring machine used in bookbinding.

I'm happy it worked! I've used some foam sheets underneath my workbench but nothing works better than the books.

I am in the US and like Buckleguy because most of their hardware is solid brass and very good quality.

Hey @Liviu Moruzi , regarding these 4 screws, I would definitely invest in harder cross-head screws. The screws from the manufacturer went through quickly. I have no experience with stropping the high grade blade. It would certainly be worth a try.

What size of needle would you use with punch 3.0 and thread 40 or 50? Thank you.

Hi Peter, do you think it’s worth adding the Teflon feet to a skiving machine. I’m looking at the ones from Mando. I’m hoping I can skive bridle a bit easier.

I just ran into this online shop https://mmcolombo.it/

@Tim Bruce they arent branded sadly.

Thank you!

hello @Danielle Cancel, to avoid any noise during any form of hammering I cast a concrete block in a tub, epoxied the top and covered that with a 5mm rhino self healing cutting matt. the sheer mass of this ensures I can work any time of day and not bother anyone, it also helps with accuracy, as there is no wobble after being struck etc.. It is very hefty monster at 65kg though. However it works great, and easy enough to make as the resin isn't necessary, it just ensured a flat surface for the rhino matt. attached is a photo that I shared on my instagram hence the writing on it cheers

Poursin’s hardware is amazing, very high quality, all brass and made in Paris. But for me personally it’s a bit too traditional, I am looking for something more contemporary. I believe they have a history in saddlery hardware.

What’s the difference between using a Vergez Blanchard number 4 and the smaller number 3 saddlers’ hammer? Does the extra inch in length and slightly heavier weight make the no.4 more suitable for handbags?
