- So, that's the needle picture's. Is it called a needle.. or a hook? Can anyone tell me the spec's, so I know what I'm asking for. Or better yet where I might be able to purchase some. What about the wax pot? Is wax still in use, or are we using lubricant? Generally, for sewing heavy leather pieces together, what would be an average size thread, my needle size considered? Has linen thread been replaced with a more modern polyester thread? Who is a good supplier of materials needed? ...so many questions. ....Well, I feel confident, with the help of you folks getting this machine up and running. I look forward to posting some pictures of it in action on the site. Thanks for now! Ken.

Thanks for helping me AEBL, Wizcrafts and CowboyBob. The lead for the manuals was perfect. I studied up on them yesterday. Thanks for the threading pictures, CowboyBob. Perhaps you guys could further educate me with my machine - I removed the needle, looks like it's broken-

Hello, happy to find you Folks; I bought this machine about two years ago. Most times I can figure them out... but not this one - I've looked at past threads at LeatherWorker.Net and found some info on Puritan awl and needle machine. If anyone could be kind and help me with problems I'm having, it would be so appreciated. I've pulled the old machine out of the corner of my shop, again... stumped with the same old quandary. How do you thread this machine?, two threads? Bobbin? Who is in possession of a manual for this machine, a could they help me out with a copy of it? This machine will bring my "hobby craft" to a whole new level, once I have it figured out. Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Ken.
