Your link doesn't work it says it's a private picture.

I'm not real sure what your asking. But if you want to know how to make them stay folded i put some weight on them and sometimes take rubber bands and put on them.

You can try http://www.pilgrimshoemachine.com/ . I don't know if they have manuals or not but i have bought parts for a American from them and their nice folks.

Nice job !

You did a nice job on it i think. Do have a picture of the thingy you used to carve with ? I can't get a picture of how it looks it in my mind.

Oh what child is this. Is my favorite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6d9tKOc2I8 And she does as good as anybody singing it IMO.

Nice work !!

That was neat...LOL.

I use the free one just like you. One program not to buy is Defender Pro !!!! I had to buy another program to get it off of my computer.

The link worked for me this time. Couple of thing i noticed. I'd move or make the LB smaller so a person can see the band first. I would edge and burnish the edges espically for the price your charging.

What brand punch is it ?

If i use 346 thread i use a 230 needle.

Denise it loaded right up for me. But i have a DSL connection. It's about 3 or 4 minutes long.

That was real intresting. Thanks.

Ray we grew around the same time 50's and 60's. Around here the only thing that was ever delivered was the mail and daily paper if you got one. As far as cold drinks you would be asked if you wanted a cold drink or Coke that was what ever thing was called no matter the brand. We had and still have orange, grape, root beer. But the best one when i was growing up was a chocolate drink in a bottle that you had to shake up before you drank it it ( and it wasn't a Yahoo ) but i can't remember the name. We had small Coke's 6 ounce bottle and Big Coke's 10 ounce bottle. The little ones cost 5 cents and a big one was 7 cents and went up to 10 cents.

Your web address doesn't work.

I would think that you get lead shot. Do skeet shooters have use steel shot ? As far as duck and goose hunting it's the same here steel only. You can get the cutting boards at wal mart for around $10.00 USD. I get the white ones their about a 1/2 inch thick and come in all different sizes.

Have you tried a new needle ? That one may be bent some.

I guess you could buy fishing sinkers and melt them down. Or you might get a bag of shot for a shotgun and melt that down. Or if you have a recycle place close by they might have some. Old wheel weights would work fine to. If i was going to make one i'd get the cheapest old cast iron skillet i could find melt in that and use it to shape your lead. But the cheapest and easiest is to do is get a plastic / nylon cutting board. They work fine and last forever and they won't dull your punches or knives. But i seem to be about the only here that uses them. The wood end grain block dosen't last very long if you do much punching in my world. But use what works for you.

Looking good !

You do make some mighty nice looking holsters for sure !!

You might try cutting wood piece that will fit inside or glue up some pieces that will fit and then sew it with block inside. make sure you rub the block parafen or a candle and put a eye screw in the end so you can get it back out if it's a tight fit.

Looks like it last better than the job you paid for. I had to laugh a little when i seen you did a search on hand sewing. Figured you were like the rest of and started out hand sewing till we bit the bullet and bought a machine. People used to bring boots in to me and want zippers put in or fixed and i wouldn't do it. Zippers and me don't get along...LOL.

Nice work ! The Raven's are my favorite by far.

Nice job !! He's gonna like for sure.
