New machine has arrived: Hand Press ハンドプレス機、ついに購入!

​I am currently selling miniature leather boots and they are very popular items in my shop. When I made the boots I stamped the Karamel Logo on the soles.
現在、私のウェブサイトやマーケットで販売中のミニチュアレザーブーツですが、おかげさまでとても評判が良く、当店のベストセラー商品です。このミニチュアブーツの靴底には、キャラメルレザーワークのロゴを刻印しています
Picture
​Here are the tools I used to stamp the logo to the sole. Simply I hit the stamp by hammer. However….
刻印をする時はハンマーでスタンプを叩いて刻印していたのですが、、、
Picture
Picture
Sometimes the stamp slightly moved when I hit, and ended up overlapping….. I don’t know how much leather I wasted…
ハンマーを叩くときにどうしてもスタンプが動いてしまって、ロゴがずれてしまうんですよね。。。。このズレのためにどんだけレザーを無駄にしたことか。。。。
Picture
​That’s why I wanted a ‘Hand Press’ for a loooooooong time but I could not find it from New Zealand and the shipping fee is quite expensive if I get it from overseas because it weights over 25kg…. however, as Christmas is coming  I need to increase my stock level and my production to speed up. Then I decided to buy the hand press machine ! This is my new machine.
それでハンドプレス機が、ずーーーーーーと欲しかったんですが、ニュージーランドでは見つけられず。。。海外のサイトでは販売しているのですが、ハンドプレス機が25キロ以上とかなり重たいので、送料が高い。。。送料がほぼハンドプレス機と同額です。。。。ですが、クリスマスシーズンに向けて在庫を増やしていくため、作業効率を上げるために、ハンドプレス機を購入することにしました!こちらがハンドプレス機です。
Picture
​What you need to do is just place the stamp on the leather…
使い方は簡単。レザーの上にスタンプを載せて、、、、
Picture
​And Press ! The manual says the machine has 2 ton pressure !
圧力をかけます!取扱説明書によると最大2トンの圧力だそうです。
Picture
​The top logo in the picture below is done by a hammer, and the bottom is done by the hand press. Can you see the difference ??
上のロゴがハンマーで叩いたもので、下がハンドプレス機を使用したものです。写真では見えにくいのですが、違いがわかるでしょうか??
Picture
​Actually, I ordered leather cutting dies from Japan and I am waiting for the dies to come to New Zealand soon, hopefully, next week. Once I get the cutting dies, I will upload to the blog and show you how I cut the leather using the hand press and the cutting dies. I cannot wait to get my new tools !
実は、靴型の抜き型を日本にオーダーメイドで注文し、現在、ニュージーランドに抜き型が届くのを待っているところです。早ければ来週にも届くはず。抜き型が届きましたら、またブログで報告します。ハンドプレス機のメイン作業はミニチュアブーツのパーツを抜き型で一瞬にして切り取ってしまうことです。抜き型が届くのが待ち遠しい!

That is a great looking press , could you please tell me where l could purchase one as well. I too currently use a hammer and sometimes a book binders press but would love something like the one you just purchased.

Thank you for the enquiry.

I bought the machine from a shop in Etsy. I tried to give you the link but it looks it is sold out now as I cannot find the same machine… Anyway the shop I bought is https://www.etsy.com/nz/shop/TinyHovel

You can ask the shop if they have the machine in their stock. The product name was “Heavy Duty Hand Leather Cutting Machine Photo Paper PVC EVA Sheet Mold Cutter Manual Leather Mold Die Cutting Machine T0084”.

Otherwise, I found three very similar machines from other shops in Etsy.

You can see

Hope you find your machine !
