Antique leather machine - Restoration

Welcome to today’s video where you saw the renovation of an old Landis special leather cutting and sanding machine sent to us by Mr. Robert Jan Trügg, Thank you. This machine was used to produce and process leather. Widely used in the past for various purposes, such as the production of leather goods, repair and restoration of old pieces of leather, as well as for the manufacture of shoes. The leather machine was equipped with various tools and mechanisms that allowed the leather to be processed. These included, for example, sewing machine knives, pressing machines and other specialized tools. These devices allowed artisans and manufacturers to work with leather and create various products with high precision and quality. As man developed, so did the use of leather. In some cultures, leather was considered a symbol of high status, and the leather craft became highly sought after throughout the world. It was used in everyday life and was primarily oriented towards function. Its production began to grow. Shoes, belts, hats, bags, gloves, harnesses, tents, jewelry and others were produced. For example, the oldest leather shoe was found in an Armenian cave and is estimated to be 5500 years old. An interesting fact is that even in China they used leather to make leather armor, which was made from both cowhide and rhinoceros and buffalo hide. In the 18th century, leather experienced an industrial revolution, and nowadays the demand is very high, so artificial leather and synthetic leather material are also entering the market. And that’s all for today’s video.
