I read your post earlier this morning, but had to go out to an appointment, plus other stuff, so just got back to it now. So I looked around and found what you found, and was about to post it with some screen captures. Then I see you found it too! Good hunting.

What Pattern software do you use?
Cumberland Highpower replied to Chris777's topic in Patterns and Templates
I like that answer. Sometimes my die maker is amazed by all the residual pencil marks, arcs, curves, lines and intersects he finds all over the cardstock. I tried to learn Fusion 360 and partly have, but I'd just as soon use an old way of doing something than to sit for hour/s doing that. -
Ok, I found it in Account Settings> Content View Behavior I had it set for "Take me to the beginning" instead of "Take me to comments I haven't read" Thanks!

😄Good to know. although, I don't watch movies, Hollywood or otherwise. I wondered more from the point of view of heat, lack of plumbing and running water and the tendency of people to use bath tubs and toilet paper. Back to the subject, i plan to render the fat from the skin by warming it on a clean pan. Let's see what happens. it is very warm here not and if it putrefies, I will know within a few hours.

@PastorBob Thanks, I did manage to get a small crack in the little finger from tightening the thread. I did the sewing over a couple of days to keep it enjoyable. Brgds Jonas

@AlZilla Thanks for the nice comment, it is just a regular length strap, I mean it is only doubled for the 2.5" around the buckle. So the sewing is purely decorative for the rest of the belt, but I read somewhere, that stitching can help make a belt a bit less flexible to prevent it from sagging. (I don't know if that is true though, so I guess I'll just have to wear it for a couple of years and see) :-) Brgds Jonas @chuck123wapati Thanks Chuck, it is without a doubt the flashiest work belt on board Brgds Jonas

Yeah I'm using a System76 Gazelle 17" laptop. Works great and plenty of power to do anything I need. I tend not to use Snap because I've been told it slows things down. I do like that it auto updates though.
-
I also run PopOS ... I'm very happy with it! Do you have a System76 computer also? Thanks for the script, I might like the new version. You can also use the "snap" pacakge. I was against the idea of "snap"s in the past, but I am warming up to them. https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.2/gnulinux/snap/

After listening to you guys I have to be thankful that the hospital is just 20mins away. Just as well cos I've had a couple weeks of it, the latest was a camera down my throat, through my stomach and into my bowel. I'm brave says I, don't need sedation. My God. After 20 mins of gagging and coughing and worse( can't say more else @Northmount will tell me off.) Never again. That was the day before yesterday. Yesterday I put my dog to sleep. Getting old sucks.
-
There must be something in the settings because when I click on a subject it automatically goes to the last message posted I dunno where to find it. Perhaps if we summon @Northmount he might know
-
Nice work! Looks great.
-
Now you got me lol I've never seen/heard of that one.

Not sure if there's a setting somewhere that I have to click on. Right now, on the website, when I click on a thread title I've already read it goes straight to post #1. If it's possible I was wondering if when we click on a thread title if it could automatically go to the last post I read. Ex; if I go the the "Mineral oil bad for leather? Or good? Or neutral?" It puts me on post #1 but it has 300+ post so I have to go to the last page then scroll to the last thing I read. When using my phone If I click on the thread title it goes to post #1 but if I click on the bubble it takes me to the last post in the thread. Other websites automatically go the the last post I read when I click on the thread title.

Wow! I hope you don't bump it anymore. When I was a kid I was working at a sail making company in Florida. One of my friends there made the mistake of running a sewing machine faster than his finger could move out of the way. He put a couple stitches in his finger and was lucky it didn't hit bone. That instilled in me to this day to keep my fingers away from things that could severely damage them. Whether it's a sewing machine or a circular saw I keep my fingers at a safe distance. And I always turn them off or unplug them if I have to work around the business end. Stay safe

I can see the record centre now youse mention it but my first thought was of the Isle of Mann three legs symbol, the triskelion

Thanks for this! I just updated to version 1.4.2 and it looks a lot cleaner than the 1.1 version I've been running! I run Pop! OS which is based on Ubuntu If you want to update your's open your terminal and paste this into it. You'll need to enter your password, then it'll ask you to confirm a few times. sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable sudo apt update sudo apt install inkscape To verify the update inkscape --version I haven't tried printing multiple pages yet but hopefully I'll get around to it soon.

@chuck123wapati i was changing his dressings frequently before his cancer op, but post op at the local hospital they use specialised medicated dressings that aid healing, and they work too. Good to hear you're progressing well with your pottery , and just like leather, the sky's the limit 👌 The pot of soup is delish, there's a few more meals yet to go . God bless Mum for teaching me how to cook . I have yet to make her home made pickle, I found her 'secret ' recipe in her mountain of cook books. HS -
Finger Guard for Juki 341
Cumberland Highpower replied to friquant's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I bet that hurt... in 20 years I've only been bitten really good once. It was with one of my little machines that I use allot. What got me? The new "silent" ISM servo I had installed on it. I went to flip the thread out from under the feet with my finger and right then it decided to put the needle down. (had been fiddling with the positioner and didn't have it secured. Drove the needle right through my finger, clean through the bone and out the bottom. I was running 138 thread so I did have a heavy needle in it-But I'm surprised it didn't break/shatter. -
Honestly most people know what it is and actually like the idea

Thank you! Definitely something I wouldn't have thought to do, thank you. Thank you!
