In this video, I restore an old rusty leather cutting machine made by Frobana in the early 1900s.
More about the restoration process:
It was very challenging, especially the disassembling, but rewarding. I learned a lot about leather-cutting machines, and it will be helpful for you, too!
The antique leather machine was in disrepair when I got it. Full of rust and with a blade chipped;
If you want to learn more about this antique leather machine, I encourage you to watch this video.
I worked on this leather cutting machine for almost one month, every day, because so many parts needed my attention.
If you are interested or have questions regarding the restoration process, please ask me in the comments section.
More about the leather cutting machine:
The machine could be manufactured at the end of the 1800s or at the beginning of the 1900s by the Frobana company. The machine is a leather splitter and skiver, and it was used for lining shoes, handbags, and wallets. Almost all the shoemakers had one of these back in those times.
It is a beautiful leather machine that deserves to be restored and preserved.

I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you!

Cheers! Johnny.
