All Activity

I learned something new yesterday. I don't use the holster plate very often but I've come to the realization there is enough room between the plate and the arm to easily fit a finger. Don't ask how I learned this. I'm thankful I was moving the wheel by hand at the time.

To me there are a lot of visual similarities with Pfaff 461 (or 463, 467, or 483 etc) or something from that era and source. But they were all fast straight stitch sewing machines for light to medium fabric.

I found one for sale, at a good price, but can't find any info on them.

I usually just use leather worker. People know what it means and I really don't have to explain it to much. Now if I'm at a fair I may use leather crafter or leather artisan/craftsmen. To me crafter sounds like you may sell cheaper small goods like key fobs, lanyards, wallets. Artisan/craftsmen sounds like you sell more expensive things even though they are the same item.

With just a few hours of practice, a monkey can do it!! You will be so proud of yourself. Just think you can steal everyone else's hard work and artistic abilities off the internet and not even use one brain cell doing it or even attempting to further your own skillsets.

I have used copper rivets for swivels. solder a cap/concho of your choice on and use a larger washer on the back side.

Thank you for the post. I just ordered my 341! I hope your happy with yours.

1. leather crafter, someone who can make key fobs, basic wallets, sheathes, and such from premade kits or pattern packs,you will find them and their supplies at Hobby Lobby. They have a limited skillset and usually have no inclination to further their knowledge of the craft. 2. Leather craftsman, someone who can make their crafts from scratch using only the basic supplies, they can design, determine the correct leather and supplies needed for the project, and finish it without help or supervision and it will look professionally made when done. 3. Leather workers, the poor slobs who do this for a living lol, Tanners, production workers in shoe factories, piece workers etc. Working with leather because it's the job you found at the time.

I'm hoping someone has ideas on how to construct this strap so the stitches look clean on both sides. The strap ends will go through the bag and wrap on both sides which will be visible from both sides. My initial thought was to double up the strap ends (without the strap attached) and punch holes, hand stitch the middle section (where it goes through bag), attach strap ends through the bag, double stick tape (or glue) strap ends to strap, and then hand stitch with awl. Am I on the right track or does someone else have an easier way or thought on a different process. Thank you in advance for any advice.

My new burner!!! works well the first pic is at 1 psi the third is at 10 How hot is yellow hot? really hot about 2000 F. I could only go about 12 psi before the flue wasnt large enough. i can get it hotter lol And yea the welding sucks

Leather work helps me to avoid all my bad thoughts in my head(

I normally say that I work with leather, it is also the term that I would use in Danish. To me leatherworker means that it is your "line of work" I mean what you do for a living. Leathercrafter (to me) sounds more like a hobbyist. But I guess it all depends on where you live in the world 🙂

According to Google... Factor Leatherworker Leathercrafter General view This is a broad term for anyone who works with leather professionally. It encompasses specialists like saddle-makers, cobblers, and artisans for fashion companies. In some contexts, particularly in the US, "crafter" can imply a hobbyist who works for enjoyment rather than profit. However, "craftsman" is widely recognized as indicating a high level of skill or artistry. Business vs. hobby The term "leatherworker" is often associated with the business or professional aspects of the trade, where profit is a key driver. The term "leathercrafter" can suggest an individual who is creating items for personal enjoyment. Scope of work A leatherworker might specialize in a single area, such as repairing shoes, or assemble pre-cut leather into finished products. A leathercrafter is more often associated with the process of making a product from scratch—including cutting, patterning, and finishing the leather. Level of artistry While many leatherworkers are highly skilled artisans, the term itself does not always carry the same emphasis on artistry as "craftsman" or "crafter". Many associate the term "craft" with the skill and artistry required to create a unique item. A person with this mindset may use "crafter" or the more formal "craftsman" to emphasize their dedication and skill.

If I can make a suggestion mate, you'll find it easier if you turn things around and find a way to slot in the various shapes at the end of the ram. On the receiving end, say you want a right angle you could weld two bits of sharp stuff so the internal angle is around say 85 degrees (guessing) to allow for spring back. I'll try to do a short vid.

The non-medical variant is simply called a (foldable) workshop crane. It comes in various configurations but it usually has two wheeled legs that go under or to the sides of the load and an arm (sometimes telescopic) that can be moved up or down hydrolically, pneumatically or with a screw drive. Max carrying weight goes up to two or three metric tons, depending on the model. My mechanic has one in his garage to lift engines out of cars.

These leather WWII aviation patches are really impressive. The craftsmanship and attention to detail make each patch feel authentic and full of character. I especially love how the stitching and design capture the historical look of the squadrons. It’s amazing how a small leather patch can add so much personality to a collection or display.

First bending bit, this was whipped up to see if I could actually bend anything in this contraption. As you can see it sort of works. Being angle iron the inside is radiused so I cant get a right angle bend, I'll have to file it to square up the inside. I also need to reinforce the underside where the 1/2" rod goes through to make sure it stays upright against the pushing force. Now to make more jig/tools of various shapes, I need one that is like a knife edge so I can get sharp bends, this may need to be made from something that can be hardened. One problem, which I half expected, is that pushing down on the handle causes the other end to rise so the whole thing needs to be clamped down

Leatherwork (verb) is the process through which one creates leathercraft (noun).

Thanks Wiz. I’ll read up on the p-1206rb

I use Leather Work to describe what I do. To me it is easier for the average Joe to sorta kinda have a idea of what my hobby is about. To me a "crafter" would be more like "master" as in a master electrician / plumber / tailor etc. having far better skills and knowledge then myself. kgg

Is that the Tandy/Stohlman and others book? If it is my version says Leatherwork on the cover

The first place I landed when I took up the hobby was some "leathercrafter" kind of website, so that tends to be my terminology.

Thats a clever idea May I add; just an idea, punch a hole larger than needed and fit a sail eyelet for the C/S to bear on rather than the leather

If the part you are sewing tappers thinner toward the edge it will often want to feed out away from that edge depending on what feet you are running as well.

All my first books were titled Leatherwork or Leather Work So I mostly use that word or those words Some ppl on here are shure Leather Crafters, which is far above my mere status as a simple stumbler
