- A look at my two ton ratcheting arbor press including what I like about it,and how it works. In this film I emboss some leather with it, and I also use it to stamp out a leather shaped Bucklehurst acorn.
My press came from MSC Direct UK and is stock item: JT3-33725K
That looks fun to use, great result too. It's funny how when you get involved in a certain craft after a while you start to pursue other crafts.
Timber Anew Yes I got to leather via wood and steel!
Another good video ,your press is a lot better than the G clamp I have been using for the last 40 years ,thanks good demo and camera work
Hi Harry. I have had that 2 ton device for almost two years now, works great for logo embossing. The arm is long providing a lot of leverage, and boy does it help. However, the ram is made of over 1.25 solid steel, and I hammer the top of it to provide a sharp image on the leather. I turn the wheel down until my logo stamper is on the leather, hold the wheel while you hammer the top of the ram. I use a dead blow hammer and it works wonderfully. Some leather is awfully stubborn and just refuses to be logo'd. Hammering does the job really well.
Delta H Thanks for that.
Hello Harry
Could you be so kind and make a video on how to design a makersmark ?
Thanks for all the hard work and videos
kindest regards

Красиво! Молодцы, что в Англии еще делают такое оборудование для мастерской. Вообще очень нравится Ваш канал.
Those are very handy , I need a new one for my sewing table too .
This is very nice Mr Harry.
I have my old 2t. press I am turning it into just what U are doing plus I drilled out the bottom to screw certain setting dies into. I,m a metalsmith/fabricstor/welder by trade so I love watching U create new tool uses.
Great.
Hello Harry, After watching this video I found the same press on ebay. It was advertised as new with an exception. It is missing the key that locks the ratchet gear to the shaft. The pictures showed it to be in like new condition. I made an offer of $200 US and won the press. The only down side is that the shipping cost is $80 US. So total cost is $280 US. Enjoy your videos. Thank you! I am one of your 78K subscribers.
Very useful video, thanks, Harry. I was able to look up the exact part from your comment, here in USA, & the same item was available at MSC for about $273.
Harry, thank you for giving us another great, informative video. I noticed the red machinery next to your press and wondered if you would ever consider making a video of how you use this one as well as where something like this could be obtained. I shared this most recent video of your ratcheting press with my friends on Facebook and would love to see how you use your big red! Thank you for everything you share with us, I have learned a lot from you over the years!
Marlys Sellmeyer I will add that to the list...thanks.
I"m sure you have lots going on in your world, Mr Rogers. Again, thank you for everything you share with us. It is GREATLY appreciated! PS I love your makers mark!
Another fine video Harry, thanks!
That,s a nice wt for me also. I cut small things like wallet size cuts and embossing like you do.
That rough casting is a good look I think Harry. I painted mine a nice burgundy, same as my cutting board color.
Anyway another great video Harry.
Thanks Ron.
Found that very useful indeed. Thank you.
Thats a great press Harry
Wiltshire Man hi Sandy...and very cheap!
Wow, Harry, that press is a really good deal in the UK. MSC in the USA doesn't even carry that item.
Cheers, Frank.
Thanks Frank. it used to be there in US, perhaps discontinued?
Great to see
Harry, I rather suspect the brass logo plate is a bit thin in cross section for the press tonnage, and likely distorts a bit under load. I think if you back it with a thick steel plate it may spread the force more evenly about the projection giving a somewhat better result.
If not, sue me then. ☺
Thank you Harry for a great video. Love to see what you make and what items you use. The arbor press looks like a great item to use! The red machinery on the left, is that like a press for lets say glueing 2 bits together and then press it for some time? Instead of clamps?
Willemijn Bos Its a very large press for cutting out leather shapes!
Thank you! G
Very kewl.
Thanks for posting your video! I'm starting a sandal shop in upstate New York, USA, and I'm trying to decide whether I need more than a 1 ton arbor press to compress layers of sole leather together to bond the glue. Can you advise?
I think you probably need some form of sole press, or you hit the sole all over with a cobblers hammer. I don't think a 1 ton press will be good as the pressure will not be continuous or spread out. Perhaps take a look at Lisa Sorrel and others.
Hi Harry, I noticed you have a hydraulic press next to the new arbor press. Why the arbor press if you have the hydraulic one?
Thanks Stuart 🇦🇺
Hi Stuart..the ratchet is very quick for logo marking....so speed really.
Hi, have you tried fully setting solid copper rivets with your arbor press? Is it forceful enough?
Best, Sam
No...I don't think it would work for saddlers copper rivets as they take multiple hits.
Harry Rogers Are you sure it couldn’t be pressed hard enough to just smash the cut stem down over the burr? Would you be willing to try and let me know..?
@@allamericanreview Sam you need to round over the ends neatly.
What is the name and make of that press you used for riveting you held up at about 1 minute into the video, I could do with something like that. Thank you.
They come off EBay..UK.. or from Green Grizzly website
@@harryrogers Thank you.
any idea where i can get a custom made die?
Dave Shraga EBay via China

Wet it a hammer mush faster same outcome
