If you fellows would quote each other, or tag each other, that should generate email notifications that would help keep you up to date (depending on how you have notifications set). You tag a member by typing the @ symbol followed by the member's username and picking it out of the popup box. Like this: @Judo See, you are tagged.

I would recommend that all queries go through this site, whether as posts, or via the message option. Using email puts your email address out there for all the spam bots to pickup and start harassing you. If you prefer, we can completely remove your email address from your post. There are routines that can quickly rebuild your email address, even though I obfuscated your address.

There are a number of suggestions if you care to search for them. Cornstarch, kitty litter, floor dry, etc. Bury the article in one of these. Keep stirring it around every few hours or days until it has absorbed how ever much it can. With all these suggestions, I haven't seen any confirmations from those that asked as to whether it works or not.

Does this exclude a knife? These are all tools that we use. We don't stuff a hide into a machine and have a belt come out the other end. Some people have lots of tools that help speed up the process. Others have a minimal set of tools. Does it matter if I use a paint brush or an airbrush? They can produce practically identical products. If I call my work area a studio, does that move me into a different class than my basement or garage workshop? If I use a sewing machine versus manual needle and thread, it is hand sewn? If I guide the belt or what ever through the sewing machine, following the stitch line, or I saddle stitch, it is hand sewn? This example will get a lot of feedback. Which side of the bench do you sit on?

I moved it to saddle construction. Not really an accessory item in my opinion even though there are lots of stirrup and stirrup leather designs. @Gaitinggrl77 Keeping you in the loop so you know where your post has gone. Some experienced saddle makers should be along soon.

I moved your post to Saddle Identification, Restoration & Repair

@Dannymac see request above.

Legal is 8.5 x 14". 11 x 17" is Tabloid or Ledger. Commercial scanners like at Staples or UPS stores handle 11 x 17. Hard to find others for larger pages, but there are some that will do it.

This is a machine type question so I moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. Perhaps you could add some more information. What needle type and size are you using? What thread size and type? A picture would help visualize what you are describing. The machine guys crystal balls haven't been working for several years, so they really need your help by providing adequate information.

This is a machine type question, so I have moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines.

Appears not to have any interest in following up. Hasn't been back to the site since he posted. @Moscho I am locking and archiving this post.

Hi Moscho. I moved your post to the Marketplace > Items For Sale > Machinery -- Sewing and Stitching > Used > Tippman Hand stitcher Marketplace You need to fill in a lot of details.

Did you realize that thread has no activity for 13 years. The OP (original poster) hasn't been on the site since Feb 2012. I'll tag the member to see if they are still active/alive/connected/interested. @corinowalk long time since you've been around. You have some interest in your saddle from 13 years ago.
