Do you have an extension table? Who carries parts for the Ferdinand? Do you have a manual?? I am a newbie to sewing machines. What is the range of thickness the machine is rated for? Does it have a servo and reverse.

Like to have opinions on anyone having experience with Neel's Model 5 machine. a. Ease of use. b. Will it do 2 pieces of 4 oz leather? c. Will it do 3/8" thick leather?

Please provide your thoughts on the Techsew GA5-1 sewing machine or the Techsew 2603 seewing machine. I will mainly be using the machine for chaps, chinks, and tack such as bridles, slobber straps, etc. Are these dependeble machines?? Which one would be the best for my use??

I have noticed in several places where people state that they reinforce the chap zipper with leather. Anyone have an opinion on how to do this?

Sorry. I don't mean the chap leather. I am talking about the chap yoke.

I just saw some information on applying antiquing to chap leather, and I want to be sure I am on the right track. The steps listed are as follows: 1. Apply neats foot oil and let it dry for 24 hours. 2. One coat of Neat Lac 3. Apply Antique Finish (paste) 4. One coat of Tan-Kote 5. Another coat of Neat-Lac. Will the antique still adhere after the coat of Neat Lac? Since Neat Lac isn't sold any more, what should I use instead. Thanks.
