    I really wanted to do that but could not find info on machine shaft diameter. Would have to take machine apart and wait to find correct pulley. Looked for larger factory handwheel as well for a long time. Also a pulley is not as comfortable as a handwheel and chance to get finger between pulley and belt. So I went with the speed reducer and it works well.

    Some stuff you can’t stamp after( or I don’t know how). For example the front of a holster as the leather is folded and no hard surface to stamp. Other items perhaps.

    If you are running slow might not matter.
  4. MarlinDave
    Yes. Either redrill holes or you might find another pulley with longer center that might extend past shaft enough.

    Anybody ever used a wood router for burnishing? I have a couple of extra routers and a router table. Would be less footprint on the bench. Would it be too fast? Are there burnished wheels that would fit in the router mandrel? Seems like they are 1/4 inch. My drill press I normally use is in another building.

    Beginners need good equipment worse than old hands do. Get frustrated easily without the correct tools and quit.

    Old people here used to cook with it. Big seller was 5 gallon “lard stands” to store it after rendering. Makes a great but greasy fried pie Still a lady here that sells homemade lard fried pies. When times got hard lard sandwiches were made.

    My Consew does not have the stitch length indicator guide on the handwheel. Anyone remember which rotation direction lengthens the stitch?

    Might try this bottle opening aid. Have to use these to get into Dr. Peppers now. https://grandoaktree.com/products/6-in-1-multi-function-can-beer-bottle-opener-all-in-one-jar-gripper-can-beer-lid-twist-off-jar-wine-opener-claw-dropshipping?currency=USD&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgq_kxrvC8wIV1QWICR1ubwOBEAQYECABEgLLA_D_BwE

    Stepping down 220 volt to 110 volt may be the issue. Only getting 1/2 the amperage as a 220 connection.

    I put up a little frame lean to with metal sides, no heat to house me an office, leather working, some other manly stuff. My wife had a big upright metal storage cabinet like used in offices. I plan to store my leather ( now in living room floor), unused holsters, etc. I am in a very humid climate. Should I put a light bulb or a gun safe dehumidifier in the cabinet to avoid mold? Don’t want it so hot it will dry out or damage leather. I use light bulbs in my welding rod storage but about all you can get now is led or halogen which produce little heat. I have some old style bulbs bought up but will finally run out.

    A friend has a Juki LU 562 in absolutely pristine shape with table and clutch motor. I have my well worn Consew 225 with clutch motor and speed reducer. Other than reverse and like new condition, would I gain any capacity buying the Juki?
