Yes it is, must be the picture.

Thanks again for the pattern JLS.

Yes I'm working on a 5"

Sorry to dig this up from the grave, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to print this full size. Whatever I do it ends up way too small.

Just Wow!

Are you sure it's not a belt for some kid named Sid?

I want to see the wedding pictures where she shows it off! As an amateur photographer/amateur leatherworker I can think of some cool ideas.

I realize that it says it needs some work in the description, and that alone will probably keep me from buying it. (Since I know nothing about industrial sewing machines.) Really just wondering what it is and how it performs. It looks to me like an Adler 167? Maybe if you guys who know more than I do think it's worth checking into I might check it out. http://siouxcity.cra...3617029419.html

Well I guess I was worrying about nothing, thanks guys!

Bumping to the top, I'd like some info on this also.

I was just looking at the specs and this model turns way more RPM's than a "real" leather tool would. (which is way out my budget.) By slowing it down you would be able to use finer grain sandpaper. I'm really just brainstorming like you said I might not need to do anything. Just looking for cheaper ways to accomplish things since I'm a younger guy just starting out in this whole leather adventure.

I'm asking because I'm thinking about purchasing one and wondering if I could put a rheostat on it to slow it down. From what I've read you can rheostat a brushed motor but not a brushless. Or would I be smarter to just deal with higher speeds and not worry about burning up the motor?

Thanks guys! I'll look into different ways of stitching, This is the first leather piece since my preteen years at camp (about 15 years ago) but I'm enjoying it. The rivet serves no real purpose, just playing around.

Been lurking for about a week figuring out what I need and figuring out how to make what I wanted. So I got some basic tools and got to work and this is what I came up with.
