Introducing the machines and tools used in making leather products!

Hello everyone, this is the staff of Hallelujah.

Do you know the machines and tools used in making leather goods?
When making shoes, handbags and leather accessories, in addition to commonly available tools, there are also some industry-unique customized tools and handmade tools. This time we will explain these tools one by one by category!

ハンドプレス manual press

This machine is used for binding copper buttons. By pressing the lever, the copper buckle is embedded using the lever principle.

Replace the upper and lower parts according to the size of the copper buckle to be used.

コテ hot stamping machine knife

The hot stamping machine knife is a tool used to cut off excess lines or when performing hot stamping.

A special hot stamping device is attached to the end of the hot stamping knife, and the logo can be engraved by simply pressing it on the leather like a stamp. Not only can it be used on leather, but it can also be used to engrave on wood, candy, etc.

The sewing stick here will use the burning method to deal with the excess thread after sewing with the sewing machine. Through burning and cutting, the thread ends will be melted and fixed, making them less likely to fluff.

Pincers

The previous paragraph is about special tools used to repair metal parts of bags or handbags. The next paragraph is the general tools that everyone usually sees.

This plier is used to repair loose zipper pull parts.

Knives, scissors, cutting

Tools such as planes, blades, scissors for peeling angles.
Planers are used to deal with excess edges.

Cutting type

This is a tool used to cut leather and comes in various shapes.

Change the shape of the handle ends of an untrimmed canvas bag.

The originally sharp end portion becomes rounded.

Hole type

Drilling tools are used to punch holes where sutures pass, or to mark the locations where metal fittings are fixed.


In order to install the copper buckle on the rope loop clamp, the location is being marked.

Metal small accessories (Punch)

This is a tool used to punch holes in leather and comes in various sizes. When using, it needs to be struck with a mallet from above.

This is where a hole is made at the location previously marked with the hole punching tool.

Brush type

Mainly used when applying glue on leather.

By using a brush, you can apply the glue evenly.

Percussion

This has the same function as the manual press introduced before. It is a tool used when we need to operate it manually.


Use a hammer to tap from above to make a hole where the copper buckle will be bound.

Other props

Use rulers, micrometers, protractors, and rollers to stretch materials such as leather, as well as tools such as pliers.

Summarize

Before I started working for this company, I always thought that all leather products were made by machines. But when I learned that the craftsmen go through multiple procedures to make each product with great care, I was very surprised and I am still impressed to this day. I hope that everyone will cherish Hallelujah's products for a long time.
