Used these light for years and they bright with a stout goose neck .. Best LED Sew

I noted the original post to alert any browsers to the new price, Beautiful looking stuff.

In the upper right corner of your post there are 3 horizontal dots, which is the dropdown menu. Click it. The EDIT option is there.

@AtomicLeather You are correct, the stamps and roll embossers are bookbinding tools. They're even more expensive than most leather working tools from what I've seen!! - Bill

Yeah, spammers are a real pain. I did the reply method that you advised on. Thanks

Price reduced to $150. Will ship for free to continental USA

Amazon or ebay has a wide variety of them dirt cheap. I just grabbed a few magnetic based, flexible necked lights. If you have a servo motor, the box might even have a plug so it comes on with the machine.

The easiest is just to reply to your own post. If you like, once you do that I can go edit your original post to refer to the new and improved price. The edit window is only a short time, thanks to the spammers. They like to come back and edit their garbage in later on.

I put a Python skin in the For Sale area and want to reduce the price. I can't see any way to edit my post. Can anyone show me the light? I thought messages used to have an EDIT button

Went to look at an appointment only estate sale because I saw they had some exotic wood for sale (I also turn wood projects), and asked if there were any tools or other equipment for sale…. I was amazed how much leather working stuff was piled up in a room, most of it still wrapped up since 2012-2014. There is the neatest set of roller embossing tools that I think are for bookmaking, but will make some great borders for some of my projects. Glad there was a gallon of neatsfoot oil so I can try and rejuvenate some of these hides...

Hello Thought I'd share one of the reasons why I wanted to get my Singer 111W155 sewing again. I have my late father's 1958 Plymouth Suburban. I learned to drive and work on vehicles with this car. I plan on redoing the seats. If you care to check it out, here's a link to my YouTube channel.

My original work light is long gone on my Singer 111W155. I still have it's mounting bracket. Looking for an LED work light with a flexible mounting. What LED work light are you using? Thank you!

You're absolutely correct! I downloaded an oiling guide! Glad I helped!

How did you do the dye? Did you paint the background with a brush, or just put a resist coating on the knotwork to protect it when you dyed the whole belt?

A married couple was in a terrible car accident. The husband survived, but his face was severely burned. When the doctor reviewed his options, the news wasn’t good. Skin grafts were possible, but the husband was too thin—there simply wasn’t enough healthy skin on his own body to use. That’s when his wife stepped forward. Calm. Steady. Without a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Use mine.” The doctor examined her carefully, then cleared his throat. “There is one area where the skin would be suitable… but it’s a very delicate matter.” It was from her buttocks. The couple exchanged a look—no embarrassment, no jokes, just understanding. A quiet nod. This would be their secret. Always. The doctor agreed to the strictest confidentiality, and the surgery began. It was a complete success. More than a success—the man’s face was transformed. He looked healthier, younger, even more handsome than before. Friends and family raved: “Unbelievable!” “You look fantastic!” “Medicine sure has come a long way!” He accepted their praise with a polite smile, but inside, he carried a deep, private gratitude. Every compliment reminded him of what his wife had given—quite literally—so he could face the world again. One evening, overcome with emotion, he took her hand and said: “My darling… I’ll never be able to thank you enough. You sacrificed so much for me. Please… tell me how I can ever repay you.” She squeezed his hand, smiled warmly, and whispered: “My love… I get all the thanks I need every single time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek.”

LOL. I feel your pain….

Thanks for everyone's input I did try the old coffee grinder that is hand cranked and it became very difficult to turn the crank, so I stopped so as not to break the coffee grinder. It did reduce the leather pieces into fine pieces.

Machine has inconsistent stitch length, is this play normal, checked and adjusted with the help of @Uwevideo’s with no change. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Mark IMG_5190.mov IMG_5191.mov

no, it belongs to the machine. See parts diagram I pointed where it does on. The lifting rod I mentioned is not part of the knee lifter.

This is the knee lifter I purchased for this machine. It doesn't include the roller you mentioned in the other example.

Am I right in thinking that you want to do this to create a chesterfield/pillow/quilted type look? If so it would be a lot easier to use foam. I used to buy 7x4 sheets of 1/4"-3/8" foam to make the modern square typr archery targets. You can get it in various densities to suit your purpose. If I'm right, look on YouTube For Cechaflo's channel for inspiration.

There should be a push button somewhere on the bed of the machine. You push down on it while rotating the balance wheel backwards until the safety clutch mechanism connects, with a noticeable sound. If the safety clutch engages too easily, there may be adjustments on it to stiffen the action more.

Yessir, I took an embossing class several years ago and we used sawdust and rubber cement to make the paste. People post about Bondo, clay, wood filler, and other hardware store preps. Since it won't be seen - whatever you've got that works.
