To dry leather fast, pat it with a towel to remove excess water, then let it air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat like hairdryers or sunlight—they can crack or shrink the leather. Stuff shoes or bags with newspaper to keep shape. Be patient, leather needs care! https://www.tripleiconsulting.com/philippines-business-registration/

I recall a while ago reading a user question on this topic, and am just getting around to adding my two cents worth. Rivets using plain stems cut just "long" of the "clench washer", then peened round to assure a permanent "set" can be challenging. The length above the washer is critical, and MOST easily attained with a compound diagonal cutter (colloquially a "compound dike") Using a "compound diagonal cutter" for these little wonders has been the only time-after-time reliable means I've found of quickly and accurately getting the post clipped off at the correct place without negative effect on my/your carpel tunnel. Got my most recent pair form Walmart for about $9.50. Amazon's got a DeWalt version for about $17.00, Just trying to help. Sorry about the delay in posting.

Does that one fold up from the bottom to close the toe? Quite nice!

I have made several holsters for this young man. I am flattered that he likes my work. 2 chest rigs, one leg drop, one for a silenced 22, and others. This is a Springfield Armory Echelon 9mm on a Sharps Brothers aluminum frame with a Holosun red dot. Another dang nice gun. I'm jealous!

Well done Walter. I had the opportunity to show my work at a Boys and Girls club. I enjoyed their enthusiasm very much. While my work is mainly holsters, i was able to show them key rings, ear rings, cattle tags, and many variations of leatherworks. I still get emails from them....

Nice big oak leaf... I often associate that sort of leaf of chipster99's with more Northern areas, but then I think I saw some similar to this changing colors on a different road about 10 minutes from here. Cool that you showcased the dried leaf with the good carving

I just saw this thread. The one thing that I think I see, is that the bobbin is threaded incorrectly in the shuttle. Sewing with the cover off will also affect how it sews. I have messed with my Landis 3 for almost 7 years, and I still do not have faith in it nor myself to tackle a real project.

Simple, minimalist design and skillfully executed. This is at least your 3rd post showing the importance of practice with minimal tools and skill building over a shop full of the latest big name tooling. Every beginner should read these few posts before they start filling that Amazon cart. Thank you for posting these.

Made 3 different knife sheath styles for a class I have the opportunity to teach in Birmingham, AL on 19 July. Love being able to show a way of designing and making these with minimal tools and expense. Used clearance bellies, contact cement, wax, glycerin soap, thread, and neets foot oil.

Did you get this working?

I am looking for a landis 3 loop thrower. The little finger with a hole in it that moves the thread in front of the needle. I have tried the landis number for a few months but I'm not getting an answer. I thought I would see if anyone has one before attempting to make one out of a 5/32 aircraft drill bit.

As far as it's backed off I really doubt the tension is the problem,my guess is look for it to be binding ( or getting caught) somewhere between the spool & machine.

The servo motor worked fine with no positioner system prior to transporting to a new location....so thinking it might have to do with some internal misalignment as Constabulary stated.

I'd take the tensioner apart and see if there's a burr or something else going on. Funny it would rear it's head right at a bobbin change, but it's worth a look. Another thought, make sure it's tight starting at the tensioner and not further along the thread path. Be sure where the problem starts.

I have a Pfaff 145 H3. I ran out of thread while sewing and had to refill a bobbin. After rethreading my machine, everytime I sew after a few stitches my top thread gets stuck in my tension disc (The top thread becomes extremely tight - to the point where pulling on it makes it snap - and the stitches start to show the bottom thread on top). I then have to rethread the top thread, then after a few more clean stitches, the top thread becomes tight and the issue persists. Ive attached a photo here of the tension disc. Nothing has been done to it or changed. I am not sure why this keeps happening now. Any advice?

I used to drop my wife off in a parking lot where a snowmobile would pick her up and take her to her job on last dollar rd outside of Ridgeway Co on the Divide. The Sneffels Range, regionally conterminous with San Juans, is a young, prominent, and rugged range of mountains in southwestern Colorado of the San Juan Mountains. The Sneffels range form the southern border of Ouray County and run west to east. Sneffels Range Sneffels Range

This doesn't look like much, but if you ever decide to walk the Continental Divide Trail, then you will come to this spot. From here, there is over 100 miles, as the crow flies you won't see another tree except in the only town along this portion of the route through Wyoming. I never could understand how someone could live in a city, this is 30 minutes from my house and I can spend the whole day without seeing another person, and I can usually see a long way lol. Man, the smell of the springtime flowers was glorious as well as the vastness of the world.

, if I could only have ice cream, I would try it.

Here are a couple of pics of my crossdraw, as you can see it's had some use lol. But its prime use is to keep my original Colt Anaconda looking good, clean, and functional in extreme circumstances. It's made deep to cover the cylinder, closed to protect the barrel, and you can see that the loop is made so the gun hangs at an angle, with balance being the key factor. you don't want your loop fighting gravity.

Nice find @ChibiMethos! I don't see a copyright notice so I grabbed it and added it back to the original post. Thanks for your help.

Have you ever tried to dig mud out of your pistol barrel two miles in from your truck? I have lol. Hunting holsters, IMO, are a different animal from carry holsters. I have had more problems with stuff coming in the bottom at the wrong times, accidentally sitting down, and falling down. Once your critter is down, you are also down on the ground gutting, skinning etc. Anyway, that's my take from personal experience, the amount of debris that I have collected coming in the holster from the top is minimal if the weapon fits the holster properly.

Yes, it looks like there is no positioner. One of my similar low cost servos didn't operate without positioner, even when the function was switched off in the menu :))) I checked his video again and actually it looks that the white pin operates as intended. Or so I guess.

But the machine has no needle positioner as it seem (see hand wheel) so in this case the white plastic nub has no purpose.
