nicely done. kgg

Finished up a couple of gun belts for some really good friends. The old Landis 16 is sewing a beautiful tight stitch. Old Eli over at Landis Machine Co replaced a few parts and dialed the girl in.

Not sure if you're selling just the bellies but I got an email from Wickett & Craig for bellies at $5-$9

That would be great, I have sent you a message!

Assuming they're not all full sides, the simplest way to go would be to price per ft or per metre having discounted from the current price.

That spring likely slides around either the outer presser foot bar or the inner presser foot bar. On my machine, these two bars are different diameters, so that will tell you which one it goes around. Looks too short to be the one that drops in the top for your pressure adjustment. By any chance do you have pictures from before and after? Perhaps someone with a 335 can post a picture to show where the springs belong.

Beautiful, very nice design and execution.

Thanks, I really appreciate the compliments.

Outstanding work! Thanks for sharing with us.

A couple of ways to go about it... Try to recall what you paid and price it at that point; knowing you probably paid less at full retail when you bought it than what it's currently selling for. Look up current pricing from vendors that carry the same, and drop the price by some percentage. Percentage depends on how quickly you'd like to move it, whether you add in shipping, packaging, etc.

Very Sharp!! Great job!

Welcome from SW Missouri! I would suggest a good maul or hammer. Maybe get a starter set of stamps for patterns.

Glad this got reposted. Thought mine didn't go through!

This is exciting! Marked on the calendar! ((hugs)) Randy

You could get along without the chisels if you punch the holes with a stitch awl. I've been working leather for 50+ years and never had a set of chisels. You can make a good, even line of holes with a bit of practice. I learned to stitch in a saddle shop and we just learned to use a stitch awl. There are good books on saddle stitching that can get you going in the right direction. Then, if you wish, you can invest in some chisels but it will b e a choice, not a necessity. I used to have a stitching pony but it never held the work tight enough without marking the leather so I finally got rid of it and just work without it. FWIW, we never had a stitching pony in the saddle shop, either. You may be able to find one that does the job, though.

Friq I have already put the back of the machine back together, but after dropping the presser foot, the outer presser foot won't let go and stays hanging. I also discovered that there is a spring left in it and I don't know where it belongs.

Beautiful. I had to look all over for a bag to carry my laptop with a 17" monitor. This is way more classy.

There's a wingnut adjustment on the back side you need to move to the "H" side.This will make the foot lift higher when it walks.

Thanks a lot I made a post about my knife.

Thanks, great example of doing lots with little.

Always hard to tell from a mic input as sometimes they can be overly sensitive but definitely better than before!

If you're feeling keen then just sew a few different scrap pieces, of differing thicknesses, together so the buyer can see the results. No excuse then for not knowing.

I forgot, your round knife looks interesting.

I was hopeful ...

Well, here's over a hundred references, maybe the answer is buried in there. Were it me, I'd let the buyer decide for him/her self so I don't get blamed for any problems. https://leatherworker.net/forum/search/?q="Singer 29k71"&quick=1&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy
