Hi folks! After almost a month of working on this restoration project, it is finally here! I loved working on it; For me, it is one of my best videos! I hope you will like it too and give it a thumbs up! Cheers! Johhny!
When I was a child back in the late 1950's / early 1960's there were a lot of shoemaker and shoe repair shops all over the place. Many of them were around since the turn of the century or earlier. Back in those days every one of those old shops had one of these machines. I always used to wonder what they were for. I had a feeling that they were used for cutting or shaping leather for shoes but I was never 100% certain. This video cleared up the mystery, Very nice restoration work.
I never guessed that it would be a leather cutter. You always surprise me, Johnny even with the amazing amount of time and effort that you put into these projects
Every video I watch of yours the antique ends up so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Always a pleasure watching. My apologies for not becoming a patreon member. I was layed off last week and am struggling. Your videos help get my mind off the stress, lol
Hey, Rusty Shades Restoration! Just stumbled upon your video "Leather Cutting Machine Restoration - Early 1900s Shoemakers Machine!" and boy, oh boy, what a rollercoaster of rust and revelation it was! Watching you breathe new life into that ancient Frobana leather-cutter was like witnessing a magician at work, only instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, you're yanking history out of oblivion! The whole disassembly dance had me on the edge of my seat, man. I mean, every creak and groan of those rusty bolts was like a cry from the past, begging to be saved. And that chipped blade? Felt like I could feel the centuries of wear and tear on my own skin. You've got the patience of a saint and the skills of a master, no two ways about it. I'm itching to know more about the nitty-gritty of the process, though. Like, how did you tackle that stubborn rust without erasing the machine's soul? And that blade - getting it back to its former glory must've been a saga in its own right! Also, gotta say, learning about the machine's roots was a treat. A leather splitter and skiver, huh? Can't help but imagine all the shoemakers back in the day, toiling away with one of these beauties by their side. It's not just a machine; it's a slice of history, a testament to craftsmanship that's stood the test of time. Keep up the fantastic work, my friend. You're not just restoring machines; you're preserving stories, memories, and a bit of magic, too. Can't wait to see what piece of history you'll save next. Cheers!
Hi Henry! I am delighted to read such a beautiful comment, especially on the day my channel hit 70k subscribers. Thank you so much for your kind words and for your time! Comments like this are giving me the power to do more and better! Best wishes! Johnny
@@rustyshadesrestorationthere's an eye jaguar company that uses one of these, exactly the same, it's used to thin the edge of the leather so the seam is not so bulky. Saw it the other day.
Thank you. I own a similar but later one of these machines. The chipped blade, which you had to shorten and sharpen needs to be the full length otherwise it won’t skive the leather as intended. It should extend to just between the serrated rollers.
Do you know the purpose of the blade on the side? It seems to be intended to cut the leather into strips while the other blade skives the end of the strip. Is this mainly a belt making tool?
@@Wishbone1977 I believe these machine were intended for cobblers. Instead of a blade my machine has a rotary type cutter for cutting strips of leather. I’m trying to adapt my machine to skive a 2cm wide piece off the edge of any piece of leather, much in the way that a bell skiver does. It works, but needs further tinkering.
@@ianknight2053 Yes, but the way this particular machine works, it seems to be designed explicitly to cut a strip of leather while skiving the end of it head-on. If it were to do what you describe, the side blade would have to be removed, and the front blade would have to be set at an angle against the leather coming out of the rollers. That functionality seems useful to a cobbler, while the functionality this machine actually has does not. Hence my assumption that this is actually intended for belt making.
I just found your channel tonight. Good work! It looks beautiful! I really like antique machines, and I'm so glad to see you brought it back to good condition.
Thanks. Many are thinking the opposite way. I usually remove the nasty ones, especially the ones that can harm you while operating the machine. The most minor marks for me are like wrinkles on an old face and that's also some sort of beauty.
Amazing restoration. You always find the most interesting items and bring them back to life. 😊 You truly are a fantastic Craftsman Craftsman. I really enjoy watching you work your magic. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing your next one. Greetings from Fairfield California USA 🇺🇸
Oh, wow! That's a fascinating story to hear. My first videos from this channel were filmed in Krakow in a small basement in the Kazimierz neighbourhood. The building was built before WW1.
If I tried to do something like this I might get it apart and might get it half as clean as you do, but then I would have a pile of parts and no idea how to put it back together😂 so it's fun to see to do such a great job beginning to end.
Known as a "skiver". Used to cut the leather making it thinner for items such as belts (and shoes where two pieces need to be stitched together without the join ending up thicker than a single thickness of the leather). I have restored a couple of these to sell on, but I have never gone to as much trouble as you have gone to with this one. They work just as well after a basic clean-up, sharpening the cutting blade and a drop of oil on the moving surfaces.
Wonderfully done! I just gave away a new leather cutter I bought last year and didn't use...it is almost exactly the same unit except for the turning wheel! Great site..new fan!!
I think this machine is actually made to cut on the shoe itself after you apply the soul to it. You actually turn the shoe upside down and run it through this machine to trim the soul and it actually puts that texture on the top of the soul where you see it. Watch some of these shoe repair places like Bedos Leatherwork
Seriously, which one of us has the most fun: me (who's only watching and enjoying the show) or you (who's restoring these beauties and getting to test them)?
Did you ever try water-based clearcoat when you’re spinning a wooden part on a lathe it dries instantly with a little bit of cheese cloth when you apply it.
I don’t know how you remember where all the parts go! Blows my mind every time! I like that you don’t file and fill and polish the age off of a piece. I also always go to the description first to see what information you have put about the piece you will be working on! Thank you for sharing
Thank you! I'm happy that you appreciate that I'm not making things newer than they ever were. I appreciate that you read the description many times I explain decisions there regarding the process. If I have to deal with a historical piece or unique, I'm removing only sharp casting marks, those that can hurt your hands/fingers while working, but that's all. If I work with a mass-produced item more vintage than antique, I may try to make it better or as it went out from the factory gates. Best wishes! Johnny
I love your craftsmanship! I do have one comment, I believe you should have had a local blade-smith make a new blade so the hone is correct and it’s the proper hardness. The blade determines how well the machine works and the quality of the product.
Thank you! I could make one myself, but it wasn't the case because the blade could be saved. I'll keep that for another video, where it will be necessary to make one from zero. I do not like replacing everything just to show off. 🙂
@@rustyshadesrestoration honestly the fix you showed was sub-par at best. The hone was definitely different from the original and nowhere close to straight. But if you feel it was good that’s all that matters, it’s yours after all. Again besides the blade beautiful craftsman.
It looks to me like the blade, when longer originally, would have split the grain where it met the leather end as it emerged from the rollers. The finer quality, supple top grain and the thick, lower layer have different uses; as in glove leather versus suede. I agree with @willaiml, it needs a new blade, if full function is to be restored. @rustyshadesrestoration, thank you for the great videos, they are fascinating!
Oh, Matthew, if I know, I'll tell you, but it is kind of impossible because the markers aren't a brand or something; I just bought them in a Lidl shop. Not sure if you have them in your country.
Thank you for your great video. Very interesting find this machine is. You made it look good, and it was fun to watch. You made it look like a thousand bucks. 😃👍 However, if you would pay more attention to details, it would look like a million bucks. For example, more sanding, more use of fillers to make it smooth, water sanding, and buffing to rise the look to the perfection and eye candy 🤩✨️
i found that when the material wasn't coming out of my sandblaster, I had a 5/16" nut lodged way up in the intake tube. Once that thing came out, it was like a new device, and the grit just flowed out. Just saying it because it looked like it was struggling in this video
It happened to meet as well, but not this time. Here, I was dealing with japanning finish, and I decided to use only glass beads from now on, which is also slowing a bit the process. Cheers
Relaxing video, not having to do all that work)! I have a knife sharpening hobby, and if you put dabs of heat sensitive paint on an edge, then use a belt sander as you did, you'll see that it raises the temperature above the lowest temper. Reference, Australian Knife Grinders. I'm unclear about how that may affect the hardness and brittleness. And I'm unclear about how much of the edge is affected. I do not know if re-heated steel can be re-tempered (without re-quenching). Opinions on using grinders and sanders vary. Some say it's all perfectly OK, while others scream that it ruins the heat-treat, but opinions aren't facts.
On this one, I just paid attention while disassembling. If I have a much bigger project, like the Coins Counting Machine Restoration, available on my channel, I have to take pictures because I'll not remember all the small pieces, especially when the project lasts over a month.
That wasn't a bend but a casting imperfection. Sandblasting wood it is something very ordinary and popular among restorers because it is way more non-destructive than sanding with sandpaper and healthier for the wood surface as long you use soft material. Cheers
I try to avoid that as much as possible, but sometimes, it can be no other way, so you need to cut it off to continue the project. It is almost like a surgery 😀
@@rustyshadesrestoration checked again - nope. The knife that got chipped - you shortend it. I believe it need to be more to front and spit the leather - so you can split leather from 2 mm thickness to 1 mm for example. Its used in manufacturing belts. Which makes sense as this brand was used a lot in shoe repair / belt shops.

They did, but with scissors, you can't cat perfectly and fast thick pieces of leather, plus that this machine is doing skiving too-the last cut is at the end of the video. Cheers
I love the work you do, and I love your channel, and I did Subscribe. You had 100,000 views, I don’t understand why they don’t subscribe and give you some more subscribers. think this is an awesome machine, it just kind of bothers me that you don’t use like a like grinder with a flapper disk just to smooth out the edges instead of a file.. Why don’t you donate This to Bedos Leatherworks . I think you’d love to have this antique machine. Do you ever watch his channel? It’s quite interesting.
Thank you, Dan! Most people watch without interacting with the content creator or those buttons 😅 Especially when they don't see a face. Thank you for the tips and the channel; I'll give it a try.
Hi folks! After almost a month of working on this restoration project, it is finally here! I loved working on it; For me, it is one of my best videos! I hope you will like it too and give it a thumbs up! Cheers! Johhny!

I love these restorations. They tell us a lot about the past and the history that the object has.
I'm always impressed with how much thought and effort went into making these types of things. Many custom made parts, way before they had autocad

Hey, Rusty Shades Restoration! Just stumbled upon your video "Leather Cutting Machine Restoration - Early 1900s Shoemakers Machine!" and boy, oh boy, what a rollercoaster of rust and revelation it was! Watching you breathe new life into that ancient Frobana leather-cutter was like witnessing a magician at work, only instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, you're yanking history out of oblivion!
The whole disassembly dance had me on the edge of my seat, man. I mean, every creak and groan of those rusty bolts was like a cry from the past, begging to be saved. And that chipped blade? Felt like I could feel the centuries of wear and tear on my own skin. You've got the patience of a saint and the skills of a master, no two ways about it.
I'm itching to know more about the nitty-gritty of the process, though. Like, how did you tackle that stubborn rust without erasing the machine's soul? And that blade - getting it back to its former glory must've been a saga in its own right!
Also, gotta say, learning about the machine's roots was a treat. A leather splitter and skiver, huh? Can't help but imagine all the shoemakers back in the day, toiling away with one of these beauties by their side. It's not just a machine; it's a slice of history, a testament to craftsmanship that's stood the test of time.

The ASMR sound of the restored machine was thoroughly enjoyable. Wonderful restore!
Thank you for your feedback! 🙂 I just changed the microphone, and I was curious if someone would notice.
Some old items are best just refreshed, especially if its rare or unique. Just a bit of TLC to bring it back to its former glory. Nicely done. 👍
That's right! Thank you!
I liked the way you changed up the assembling. Nice well done
Skiving machine. It's used to thin out edges of leather to ease bulk when sewing. Still used to this day but in a slightly different way.
Nice! I would love to see how a modern one works.
@@rustyshadesrestorationthere's an eye jaguar company that uses one of these, exactly the same, it's used to thin the edge of the leather so the seam is not so bulky.

I just found your channel tonight. Good work! It looks beautiful! I really like antique machines, and I'm so glad to see you brought it back to good condition.
Welcome aboard and thank you for watching my work!
Attention to detail is fascinating.
Love you left most of the casting marks. I feel removing them takes away from the original feel of the item.

🤯 One hour from Kraków now, but I lived there for five years. So, interesting! How did your grandmother go to the US, and when?
@@rustyshadesrestoration She came over on the Boat when she was a young girl. Small world we live in
Oh, wow! That's a fascinating story to hear. My first videos from this channel were filmed in Krakow in a small basement in the Kazimierz neighbourhood. The building was built before WW1.
Old materials were made to last forever, its sad how today everything has became plastic trash..
Plastic may be 10 times less durable, but it's 100 times cheaper... It's sad, but if it didn't make sense it wouldn't be used.
Hah, "old materials" aka steel, iron and wood? 😄 but true, too much plastic going around 😮💨
Sometimes I feel that how can someone be so patient while working on these rusty machines from past...... Respect!!! ❤
Thank you! 🙂
Very soothing I’m sure

@@rustyshadesrestoration Now I see it, thanks!
Glad you remembered how it went back together cause I sure didn’t
😅
I have to believe these guys take a bunch of pictures as they disassemble
Me personally I would forget the first two things I took off of it
The bolt with markings on the head looks modern and seems to be a previous repair.
That's what I'm wondering about
i found that when the material wasn't coming out of my sandblaster, I had a 5/16" nut lodged way up in the intake tube. Once that thing came out, it was like a new device, and the grit just flowed out. Just saying it because it looked like it was struggling in this video

It is not a must
Why the lead testing in the paint? 🤔
Lead is very dangerous to health if inhaled. If I sandblast such paint, I can contaminate the whole working place.
@@rustyshadesrestoration oh, ok. Of course. So, if it was a lead paint, what would you use to remove the paint, paint striper?
Good video! :)

Thank you Tom! Like always, I'll do my best! Johnny

Which makes sense as this brand was used a lot in shoe repair / belt shops.
Ah, ok, now I get it. I just showed how is skiving the leather. I will try to adjust it more in front and try again. Thanks!
Ficou lindo

they didnt use scissors?
They did, but with scissors, you can't cat perfectly and fast thick pieces of leather, plus that this machine is doing skiving too-the last cut is at the end of the video. Cheers
Handsome 👍🙌 great!!!
Thank you! 🙂
I love the work you do, and I love your channel, and I did Subscribe. You had 100,000 views, I don’t understand why they don’t subscribe and give you some more subscribers. think this is an awesome machine, it just kind of bothers me that you don’t use like a like grinder with a flapper disk just to smooth out the edges instead of a file.. Why don’t you donate This to Bedos Leatherworks . I think you’d love to have this antique machine. Do you ever watch his channel? It’s quite interesting.
Thank you, Dan! Most people watch without interacting with the content creator or those buttons 😅 Especially when they don't see a face. Thank you for the tips and the channel; I'll give it a try.
Wooden handle polishing is appears to be very old.
Вот видите, я угадал, что это приспособление для работы с кожей.
