Thanks for that info... The machine is a 31-15 with that same wood table. Is that rubber stick a break for the machine ?

Thank you Steve.

Thanks Gump...

Hello all, I just picked up an old singer with a butcher block table and a clutch motor I never saw before. The setup is completly separate from the motor. Can anyone tell me about this and what I might look up to check adjustments etc. Check the pics... Thanks

Beautiful work... I'm going to try one of those piston bags one of these days...

Thank you all again ! Bob

Just finished a matching tool bag for the rigid side bag.

Thanks for the input especially from some of the best

Hello all, This forum has enlightened me to get off my (fill in the blank) and start working on stuff. I made some small things for my bike and people are now asking for things and gear so I set up a little work area and started. This bag is my first rigid side bag. The guy wanted "just a plain old, strap on, frame bag" so this is what he got. Please let me know what you think. I really would love the feedback from this talented group. Thanks Bob

Great Job ! Love that Shovel Head Carving...

Nice work.. I really like that style of lacing

That's called a slit braid. The strap is folded over the clip or made into a loop for the handle. then the straps are slit in increments front and back in a stair step pattern.( ie. three slits, less than the strap width, on the front side and two slits on the back side, between the ones in front or as many slits as wanted but always one more on the front side) Then you pass the back strap through the top front slit and the front (which is now the back) through the next slit and the next and the next etc. Always working the back through the front. Then it looks like the loose end is riveted to the top strap.
