It is hand cranked and you feed the leather into the machine. Check out this ebay item number 180435758...

Review of Losthelm

I bought the metal gauge on this sale:
http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/ ... p?t=105107

On the Frieman scale: I would say he is a 5/5

Communication: 5
Product as described:5
shipping cost: 5
Shipping time:5

I don't remember the other catagory, but he is an honest good seller. I would not hesitate to buy from him again.
