  1. Thanks again. I was able to get better results now. Still not perfect but ok.
  2. Do you mean the one sticking out at the back (to the left in the picture)? That one is so tight I can't even turn it with help of pliers. On the side there are two knobs. The right one moves the feed stone up an down and the left one I have no idea what it does, can't see any change when turning that.
  3. Hi everybody. My boss gave me the task to dial in the old fortuna bell skiver that wasn't in use for 10 years. Settings were all over the place but I got to the point where it will skive the leather that we will use. Only thing left is the ridge/edge at the end of the skive. I would like to have that a bit less. A more feathered skive. Anyone can point me in the right directions?
  4. Yeah ist really Long. I dient realize how Long it will be until it was top late. Next Videos will be Shorter :)
  5. Hi everybody, I'm not sure where to put this. So i just post it here. I did an Ultra slim wallet (two Card Slots and a place for paper cash) and made a Video while making it. The language is german but the Pictures should be self explanatory. So Maybe somebody likes it. Here is the link: I'll attach a pic for those of you, who dont want to watch the vid
  6. thanks guy. im glad im back in leatherworking. had a Long break (About 2.5 years) because of being busy with main Job. but im dedicated to get back into it.
  7. Thanks all @DJole they are treated with tokonole (used it first time) I think it will make it a little water resistant @rleather yep it's fiebings oxblood, shaded with black
  8. had my try on the backpack pattern from dieselpunk. wanted to get out of my comfort Zone with handsewing, skull and floral scroll Carving. usually dont do that stuff. Ist not perfect but i love it somehow. any tipps would be appreciated
  9. Looks nice, ist that a fabric liner? How do you deal with it at the open edege inte middel? Could u make close ups?
  10. thanks for the replies so far. I wont use it often enough to justify spending more Money on an Electric machine and making my Tiny Workspace even more cramped. Its a not a Question if i Need this one or an Electric. IF i get a machine, ill get this Tiny Thing thatll just be bolted on a Corner of my workbench. but i only get it, if someone can assure me, that it will sew 2.5mm vegtan too. if it doesnt ill just stick to handstitching or avoid stitching by using my stitchless bag designs.
  11. yeah im gonna stitch 2.5 up to 10 mm vegtan. for thinner material i have another machine. If it does not stitch 2.5mm proper it's the wrong machine for me, and I'd like to know that before buying. I was Looking into this because it does not Need much space. Space is very limited and i just cant make room for another big sewing machine table. It mayy not be the most efficient way, but more efficient than handstitching.
  12. did someone already buy this machine and has some Reviews. Love the product Videos on YouTube but i would like to have a Independent review.
  13. Hi i consider buying this machine but have a few Questions. Will the machine sew thinner materials too (i.e. 2-2.5mm) in a proper way or does it need complicated adjustment for that or is it made for thicker material only? if changing thread size, is adjustmend of Needle and Tension enough or more complicated? What threads are possible? The description of the machine i consider buying is operated with a size 10 Thread.
  14. Hi everybody, Im currently thinking About Little Projects (20-30 minutes completly) to practice my sewing skills. I hate just sewing straight and curved lines on a patch of leather. I want to make something. Maybe im not the only one and we can collect and share Ideas. Important: add leather thickness, so we can see, if ist suitable for our machines (for example: i have a pfaff 901 post machine, it will sew 2 or Maybe 3mm of softer leather but not vegtan) what i imagine is a Format like that: What: Little Coin Purse with key ring leather thickness: 1,5mm Description: a triangular coin purse with folded edges and a Strip of leather at the Bottom to install a key ring Pics/Pattern: will add later
  15. Hi everybody, id like to introduce myself once more. i have been inactive for several years now, so i guess, nobody knows me anymore Im Jonathan, 34 from Germany. I started Leatherwork 10 Years ago (more or less), when i was at the University. At the end of my studies, i decided that i dont want to become a teacher but make something with leather. So i started an apprenticeship as a orthopaedic shoemaker. I kept making bags and belts an stuff in my freetime, but that stopped when preparation for my master craftsman Degree (itss an official Degree here in Germany) started. I just recently started again doing bag and stuff and want to Keep that going now. Ill add some Pictures of the last two Projects i did. One is a massenger bag i started 3 Years ago. It was tooled and partly dyed and then i stopped leatherwork. Just finished it at Christmas Holiday. The other is a backpack made from a bought pattern. I just wanted to test se pattern so i used the shittiest leather i had. My gf liked it, so she kept it Greetings Jonathan
