It might be quite a stretch to find a manual from just a picture. What is the model number?? - Bill

I'm looking for a nice used Reliable SewQuiet 6000sm or a Sailrite Workhorse, anyone have one they would like to part with for a reasonable price?

Did a bit more practicing. Here are a few of my most recent ones. I'm waiting on a shipment of hardware. Should be here by the time I make a few more.

Working on a sheath for a Buck 692. It is smaller than it looked when making the pattern. Haven't been able to do fine work fora while due to getting a piece of metal smack dab in the middle of the pupil. Got it takan out and the Dr. said their may be permanent damage, due to digging it out. My left eye had been like looking out the bottom of an old glass coke bottle for over the last week. Last 2 days it has been improving, tried doing some leather last night but without depth perception my cuts were off. Today almost normal. I am so happy, and pray my eye will finish healing.

I’m not sure, being from England. But I have done it with Fiebings with good results. I am a hobbyist, not trying to sell anything.

Hi, Being a metal worker by trade, I made my table top from a sheet of 12mm (about 1/2 inch ) aluminum plate for my Pfaff 138 For my Singer 29-33 (now replaced by an Adler 30-7 cause it handles bigger bobbins) I made the whole table from angle iron - bolted together to show other people that it can be done without any welding skills - even though I´ve been TIG welding for nigh on 40 years. Greetings Hans

That lathe is a a beautiful piece of work! It looks like only a couple of those hole punches have been used. An amazing find indeed.

Absolutely unbelievable. You lucky duck! -
I'm curious... what kind of "edge coat" was Nigel using? Nick

Oh MY! Good thing I wasn't there. My wife would have made me take it all back. I have had and still do have some interesting vintage items. I even like to feel them once in a while. lol

Never pass up an estate sale
AtomicLeather replied to AtomicLeather's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Yeah, this was what I bought, along with some airbrushing equipment and some high-end metal engraving gear.. He also had some ornamental lathes that were works of art in their own rights...

Thanks for your replies, @fredk and @AlZilla. We have fiber optic internet (a miracle, considering we’re in the boondocks) and no other issues with slow service. Occasionally this site loads quickly, but usually it’s a wait. Wasn’t the case until the last few months.

I don't have a significant lag most times but very often I get a "page can't be reached" message and the page loads a few seconds later. Both on my home DSL and mobile 5G. You may recall a few months back, we had a DDOS attack and it took the Boss a few days to get it straightened out. Maybe we're still being hammered and she's just filtered most of it out.

@Samer, if you have an Android, Google Translate will work with your phone camera and translate about 1/3 of the page at a time. Mebbe more with creative positioning... not familiar enough with iPhone to verify if it will.

All working fine at my end but, there have been reports that the Russians have been interfering with Western communication satellites and although its been going on for more than a year in recent months they've stepped up the interfering

I watched a video by Nigel Armitage Leather, on applying edge coat. While the edge coat was still wet, he burnished the edge. I have tried it and it works really good for my level. Now the dangerous point, I started thinking! would that also work for say an acrylic painted edge? Turns out, it does work well. I did a toconol finish and a waxing after letting the paint to dry. Durability? Don’t know, but it is on a working piece, so I will find out!…cheers!
