Does anyone know where I can get one of these bolts? May have to make one if I can't find them. This is from the old Tandy press

They are more or less shot all the way down. Can't beat $15 for a new one.

I found one on ebay for dirt cheap and its new old stock. So I'm going to try that. Thanks for your help, and everyone else!

2 photos show the main valve without the cap. If looking at the white part, there is an O ring on it. You can see the threads are messed up. I guess over the years they became weak. The cap, when screwed down, seals with the O ring and does not allow air to leak out. The pic with the cap shows that it will not thread on right. Once you get it started, trying to tighten causes the side not to go down, thus causing that side to allow air to come out. The cap has a button that pushed in and out when air is present. It has a very small O ring in it. This button raises the sewing machine needle.

UPDATE***** I think I have found the problem. Got new O rings for the main valve and it's still leaking bad. I think the main valve #64 threads are shot. The end cap that seals, when screwing it on, slips. This is causing the leaking of the air. Called Tippmann again and those main valves are expensive. Does anyone have a used one they could let go of?

Aerostitch......Started to sew a project today and when the needle goes down, it either #1 goes all the way down and stops, will not return up. Acts like it run out of air....or #2 it returns (goes up) only part of the way causing the stitch not to tighten, then goes back down. It is very sporadic in doing this....sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. But it can be certain it'll do it if you are sewing a project so it can mess it up. I did notice air coming out around the #56 return button housing, can't remember if it should or not while it was running. I have about had it with this machine. Called Tippmann, but they were closed. Any ideas??

Thanks, I'll take down the part about the pattern. *** Won't let me edit the part about the pattern.

Redacted..... I have it now. I made the purses a little bigger than the pattern.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Does anyone have the Dawn Handbag pattern? It is in the Ideas for Leather Projects Vol. 2. Thanks!

Do you still have this available?

Do you have a pattern for this purse? Have some young family members wanting purses.

I'm looking for about 5 or 6 of these if anyone has these They are heavy duty and 5" long

I've been getting some from Springfield leather....not a tannery, but another option.
