What a Bunch of Machines

[GeoFish]

I found an Amish guy and a couple of young ladies that know how to sew. They are not making me a saddle , doing some leather work for me. The one machine is made in Germany and its old.




Everything is belt driven by an old gas engine. Thought you saddle builders would like to see how the other half lives.

Man, that's cool! I love the gas engine setup! The only thing better would be a water wheel.

Well that's down the hill from where I was at. I will try to take a pic next week when I pick up my holster.

You make those? Hand stitch or machine? If machine, which one?

Edited to add: nevermind just saw the first post. I got excited lol. Leatherwork is one of my hobbies/passions that I just can't find the time for anymore.
