Impressive restoration!! I worked in a shoe factory way back when I was 19 years old. As soon as I saw the shape of the a foot on the pressing area I knew what it was. In fact I operated a machine that did the exact same thing.
What was it for. I don't understand why the bottom needs to be stretchy if it was just to clamp and glue the sole together. Is it not to shape the leather?
But it does have a thicker rubber that wouldn't stretch as much,was it because so it could fit different shoes that may have a different curve to the sole?
@@holohulolo I think you may be right with the idea that it’s to fit different shaped or sized soles. In a factory the bottoms are usually set up for a specific type of shoe. Excellent observation! They wouldn’t have had any kind of foam to put underneath the press. I was wondering what that water was for as well! That might be it.
I have been watching a lot of Cobbler video's lately and I would never have picked that as a cobblers press. What an amazing item. As a woodworker I was very impressed with the base you made. All together it was an amazing restoration.
My husband used to manage a shoe repair shop, so I recognized it instantly. But I DO have to say that the water kinda threw me. I've never seen one that was WATER filled before.
My Father worked 65 years in shoe repair, starting back in the 1940's. I guessed right away what the item was used for, but then I am probably much older than most people.
I did too! But only Bc I have watched a ton of different shoe repair vids-there’s just something so satisfying & relaxing about seeing something repaired/restored & brought back to life after so much love/abuse & wear. Plus, the general shape of it is very “shoe-like” to me, anyway.. so, even if I hadn’t recognized it for other reasons, (for me) that would’ve given it away. Lol 😊
My father-in-law was a shoe repair man, and while I did not recognize this device, I was almost certain it was a sole press just from the shape of it. You do a great job restoring all the different types of things. Thank you for sharing.
Yea!!!! I guessed right! I has no idea what it was, but because of the curvature and the fact that what ever it was used for was meant to not mar the object, I thought something for shoes. Very nice. Excellent job as always.

Excelente trabajó 👍 como siempre. No traduzco para ver hasta el final para que sirve la máquina y siempre quedo sorprendido de como conoces su funcionamiento y piezas cómo si vos fuiste el que la inventó. Saludos 👋 a tu bella familia.
Good morning dear friend. This tool is a real museum piece. I admit that I had no idea what it could be until the end. When you took off the leather membrane I saw the shape it reminded me of a shoe, but that's it. It was only at the end that I finally understood what it was. This is why I said that it is a real museum piece because nowadays hardly anyone repairs their shoes. As always you have done more on the details. You removed the metal burrs left at the factory, covered the small holes etc ... Even a brand new one was not as sparkling as it came out of your hands. Now we can say that it is a beautiful piece with its little red line and the gilding on the letters. In addition, you have designed this elegant wooden plinth. You have all my admiration for your work. Véronica's small dishes seem delicious I wish you a good day and take good care of yourself. Gabriel (France).
Another painstaking restoration, with the expected fantastic results! Even if you had not been able to identify its use, it would have been a project worthy of your talents.
Great restoration !! Better than new and I love the dark green so fitting !! I assume the water is there to make a solid but flexible surface for the sole of the shoe or boot to conform to so the sole didn't dry in a flat or completely straight position. I love it wonderful job !! 👍👍

So that's how it's done!!! I've been watching videos on how to make your own shoes, and I haven't been able to find anything to show how the soles were glued on so well. There were plenty that had stitched soles, but I wanted to know how to do these as well. Someone will want that thing!!!
Reminds me of the old 1970's TV show The Liars Club. Someone would bring an unusual obscure object on stage, place it before the 3 person celebrity panel and then each celebrity would take turns explaining what the object is and how it was used. Only one of the 3 crazy stories would be correct.
@Vulpes I was also wondering if it could have been fed with steam pressure (the plug complicates this theory), also providing heat to cure the glue? But I have no boot maker knowledge, and those who do may know if it was just filled with water.
Interesting, I made a shoe repair like that at one time but for a weight I put the shoe on the driveway and parked the car on top of it for the night. Oh, and important note, my foot was not inside of the shoe!

It's known as "Shoe Press". I know that because my mum was a friend of a cobbler "shoemaker" like a hobby. As soon as the video started, I knew. I'm sorry you didn't know. However, I can also say that this was done in Italy from the name on the top, because it would have a stamp called 'PAT.

As someone who makes bespoke shoes, this tool is priceless! Evenly pressing soles is challenging with multiple curves on the sole without the more commonly used hydraulic bellows style press usually used-too expensive a piece of equipment for a small hand maker. I so want this!
I'm gonna second whoever else said that this was powered by steam. The heat from the steam would set the glue applied to the sole of the shoe. This is why there was water and oil in it.

Однако, я могу также сказать, что это было сделано в Италии от имени сверху, потому что она будет иметь печать под названием 'PAT. PEND" на нем, если бы они были сделаны в Соединенных Штатах, так что больше никто бы не скопировал. Многие изделия были маркированы или сформированы с этим на них именем производителя с другой стороны. Это был CAST IRON и это был песчаный литье, как и много продуктов в тот день.

Pour that man a glass of beer
J’ai découvert un instrument que je ne connaissais pas
Merci à vous
Très belle restauration
4:55 pour a couple shots of that - I bet it has aged to perfection
As someone who makes bespoke shoes, this tool is priceless! Evenly pressing soles is challenging with multiple curves on the sole without the more commonly used hydraulic bellows style press usually used-too expensive a piece of equipment for a small hand maker. I so want this!
Thank you so much :)
No clue but it's interesting.
nicest one I've ever seen.
It's for pressing leather soles for shoemaking.
Great work restoring another really interesting old device!
Thanks Fred :) Radek
I'm gonna second whoever else said that this was powered by steam. The heat from the steam would set the glue applied to the sole of the shoe. This is why there was water and oil in it.
It's really interesting, I realized at the end that it was originally used for shoe repair. Thank you for such a great video, you are awesome!
Thanks for watching until the end :)
And we all know what you are having for dinner tonight!
:)) Thanks Susie :) Radek and Veronica
Well my guess was right, shocked the hell out of me, outstanding work that now beautiful piece.
thank you Keith :) Radek
