RODI 50 SL- KARL SCHMIDT- combined skiving and cutting machine

I feel lucky when I find such a historical machines, I love them, and this one is no exception. A compact well built machine that works perfectly after all these years, will be a real help in the work shop (Dexter laboratory - friends know why!).
Mă simt norocos când găsesc asemenea utilaje, iubesc utilajele vechi, iar aceasta din urmă nu face excepţie. O maşinărie compactă, bine construită care funcţionează perfect după aşa o hărţuiala îndelungată cu timpul. Va fi un real ajutor în atelier (Laboratorul lui Dexter - prietenii ştiu de ce!)

Harley Davidson - Sportster left side saddlebag-hand made

100% HAND MADE, hand sewing, black leather 5 mm thick, with a good coated water protective. I forget how hard is to stitch by hand this kind of leather, is not just is thick is hard texture to, in the end we trough away all the pain, all the complain,the result speak for them self... in my humble opinion.





a little bit of  edge finishing and an extra coat.
