    Only animal ever put me in the ER. Great to be laying on your back in a gravel road, 14 hand colt on top of you, car coming 50 mph. could be one thing, reground to be another.

    I hate to copy and paste but I searched for Winterholm Hoof Knife and got like 100 pictures of that tool. Whatever it is its wore out. The internet is rarely correct.

    I was in a tactical-type gun shop and they were selling gun belts with a steel liner sewn in. Supposed to not sag under weight. Quite pricy. Has anyone made these? What is used for liner? I guess with or without gun it would trigger metal detectors.

    I run 138 thread on top, 92 on bottom, sometimes 138 maybe in bottom.

    Book should show stitch adjustment. Hold down button in bed ( left one maybe) and turn handwheel forward and back to set stitch length. Numbers on handwheel show setting. Mine lacks the dial.

    If you are using machine portable it might be quieter bolted down.

    Sorry I meant to say neatsfoot oil. I would not do linseed myself. Getting my gunstock finishes crossed with my leather finishes.

    A coat of linseed and 1/2 a day in the sun will darken that just enough.

    Nice looking pig. I helped some guys cook 304 butts Saturday. Then I cleaned out the pits and pressure washed grills Thursday. Ready to nap.

    I bought a pallet of stuff at a sharpening service many years ago. Before I quit bidding they threw a box of these circular knives on. I have maybe 30 . 6 3/4 inch diameter, very sharp, beveled one side. Wonder if this would make a head knife if cut in 2. Not sure how to mount handle. Maybe leav a stem at the bottom.

    I am building a pole building for leather work and some other pastimes. Was thinking of using a tall metal cabinet for veg tanned. Wonder if it will mold (unseated)?

    This is not leather for sure, but fits and carries great.

    This is listed on Offer Up for $200, bout an hour from me. Supposed to function. 5 others of different models. Wonder what model and what capacity? Thanks.

    Depends on which table or mounting setup. Can measure with a rope to get an estimate, or use one of several online belt length estimators using pulley center to center and pulley dimensions. Keep receipt from auto parts store if you need to swap.

    Nowadays it’s called Permatex Gasket Shellac. Dark brown, never comes off. It used to be in a glass bottle. I slammed it and broke it in the door of a 72 GMC. Never wore off the running board. It has a Chief’s head on the bottle. If you want it off you have to scrape it off or use a steel brush on an angle grinder. https://www.amazon.com/Permatex-20539-Indian-Shellac-Compound/dp/B0008KLOG6

    How bout some Indian Head gasket shellac or RTV gasket maker? Messy - have to use sparingly.

    Have you considered a bigger house?

    https://postimg.cc/cK5THjZF This machine for sale on leatherworker.net has a simple reducer but I am unsure what type of bearing is used.

    A question on pulleys. The sewing machine belts seem to be 3/8 inch. Some companies call them L or M series. Auto zone has a 15 series. All the pulleys I have found for sale are A series (1/2) or A and B series ( 5/8 inch). I just had the narrow pulleys on hand, one came off my clutch motor. What pulley series matches 3/8 inch sewing machine belts?
