Need phone number of that USN Navy chick....haha....well done, me not a fan of tank bibs, but this is great leather work, clean and well build!! Like your wet forming arround tank... Greetings James

Awesome colors, nice tooling....betscha ya made some important points with your wife....haha...well done!! James

Try to make a very long run on a scrap piece ( undyed ) you eventually will see same problem....I dont think dyed leather is a factor in your problem.... veg tanned leather does not get hard enough from dye to cause a slipping factor...but take it with a grain of salt, just my 2 cent's... hope you find the problem. james

Please, please....pretty please....dont tell nobody....not to many moons ago, I have been right there and guess what...?? Same questions, same never been there thingy and never ever has done that before...hahahaa... Now it is like a passion, hard to explain,,,leather work has made my life a great bit better and I enjoy ever moment I am in the reach of some veg tan piece of leather....or sitting in front of my stone old Singer... So, now get ya some Stolman books, read everything on here and ask millions of questions....buy some leather, make mistakes....ask again and start over....and till you know it you have the same silly smile in your face like me, when you have finished a bag, or a seat...a holster or else....because you did it!!!! So now go and be yourself... Ohhh and welcome to this site!! Aloha Jimbob

Super clean, slick logo and very nice braiding....guess what...ya got the blue ribbon on this on!! James David Ring me up, I have a gud buddy he makes all kind of seat pans for any scooter ya need....I put in a gud word for ya... James

Lot's of room, I like that and I absolutly love the huge monster hand wheel on that sewing machine!!! Thanks for showing us around....hey, not a bad idea....any others want to show of their shop/mancave/hide-out... Greetings James

Yup, tooth paste is a very fine grained abrasive....and used with wet sandpaper makes the leather look used and vintage.... dont forget to whipe of wet, let dry and gud coat of oil. Done.... James

Hello Ralph I think for the cost of shipping, I just go ahead and put in my carry on bag and bring it over to ya into Belgium...haha...been close to your home country but never stayed long....I guess you would have to take me out for some good 'ol European coffee and some Belgium Chocolate....hmmmm... But seriously, I am not sure if the machine is for my needs,,,,??! What size of max. thread would it take...some people say it can handle 207, some say it can handle 138 at most...? The 267 has a good reputation, so has my Singer 211-155....I just have to part with some of my babies, hahaaaa... Have you ever owned a 267? Thanks for the reply Many greetings and best wishes to you and yours!! Ralph

She read that.......I am in the dog house noowwwwwww......

Make ur self a paper pattern and attach to the bike....so you see it three imensional....then go to the almighty internet and look for Cavalry (spelling?) saddle bags....the soft, floppy kind....then get some oil tan leather or semi veg tan in 4-5 oz and sew you some bags,,,,use a weld on seem's tomake it last....decide if you have singles or doubles, depending on how you mount it.....take some fine sandpaper and tooth paste, work the leather over well ...oil well and you have ur self a nice set of bags..dont think you need a liner.... James

Shudrrr....ohhhhhh....can I trade my wife and her shoe collection for the Chief...!!!!!!????????

great looking flip-flops....man, dont show them to my girls at home....or they want me to make em a pair or two every 4 weeks....haha....great job on this pair....and the advice about the "roll" for the toes makes sense....!! Thanks for sharing!! James

I have a Durkopp Adler model 267, about 3-4 years old and in very good condition....this is the machine head only....comes with standard foot, knee lifter, needles and different bobbins...small tools......also all original paper works and Adler manuals included!! Me realizing, having to many sewing machines....this one will have to go. It sews great, garanteed no issues and comes in a custom made wooden craddle! This machine and craddle weights about 145 pounds, will be shipped from Zip 24251.... buyer will pay shipping. I have pictures I can send if seriously interested... Thank you James

Always have spare bobbins, you look funny when you dropp your only bobbin and it rolls under the bench, cant be found and your customer is picking up in two hours... And you will fall in love with different colors on black or brown leather....looks so cool!!...So you want as said more bobbins for diff. colors....I have at least 20 bobbins for each of my machines...Make your own flat bed out of MDF, easy!!...and you will eventually need it!! First two days you get by with standard super wide pressure foot, then you will want a zipper foot left and right to get close to the zipper, edge or buckle!!!....there is more feet and you will want them all...haha....trust me!! Material guide is nice to have....but after about 5 years of practice you make a straight line blindfolded eating a sandwich while sewing!! Light is a must have, ur own night stand light or fancy LED...LED is brighter!! Check what system they use and get 3 different sizes....I do not know the Boss, but thread in bonded Nylon 92 for light work like wallets, fancy belts, then 138 for some heavy belts, chaps and such....207 0r a bit more for lighter holsters and horse gear.....needle size is according to thread...ask Boss people!! Only my 2 cents....now go and have fun!! James

Trox.... I dont see a picture....do u have to call these guys....? There is no price list and seems u can not order from that website!??

Ohhh and I forgot, I did some research on the design...I had no clue either.....it is a pegan symbol, for good and bad,,??! Also a cover symbol for a later rock band....not my idea, but owner is happy...

Bobby... You gonna love the Cobra, I am sure!! The thread is bonded Nylon from The Threadexchange in Weaverville, NC...it is size 207.... And yes, I did glue everything down....while I wet formed the upper and lower piece. Then I tried to stitch as close as possible to the edge with my Adler 105-64....went better than I thought... back of seat has a little pinstriping line art carved and all is Vinegeroon black! Greetings James

Thanks, will call them and see what they have.....love their catalog...$$$ Good idea...Sylvia...! Maybe I can snatch a left over or over cut?! Have Lowes and Home Depot right close... Thanks Trox Will try this link right away....you are a true ADLER man...haha....thanks!! All I need now is a ADLER 205....and then I am set...hahaaaa.... James
