Seth Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Starting with the bellows. I’m not sure if I’m going to cut cards or fold them from one piece. The original looked like separate cards until I got it apart and it’s scored and folded from one piece, not individual cards.

Seth Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 I have Lamb and Goatskin. I used calf leather on my first set but think I’m going with goat on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a 20 button Anglo. I have 3 20 button anglos and 1 MacCann Duet. I appreciate the offer. I do need to find replacement makers mark badges as the paper ones are missing. I could scan one of my others and print a copy. Here is a simple jig I made to make the bellows. Edited June 10, 2019 by Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Getting the bellows slowly together. Bottom runs are finished and I’m now doing the gussets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Selby Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I have a good maker's mark scan for Lachenal. Can be printed using a 'sepia' printer setting and then varnished over. If your Maccann system is a Lachenal, I have excellent gold blocked reproductions of the old wrist straps with the patent number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 The MacCann wrist wrap is not long for this world. Where the leather bends it’s looking badly worn. It is going to have to be replaced. One of my four Lachenals has a good Makers mark and another has a crusty looking one. Photos of the MacCann with the crustiest Makers label around.

Seth Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Back to the Lachenal 79001. Gussets all finished and moving on to the top runs. I also printed some decorative Lachenal bellow card labels from a file posted here on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
