  1. Moved your post to Home > Marketplace > Items For Sale > Machinery -- Sewing and Stitching > Used It doesn't belong in Announcements. And while you were there, did you read the rules? You need to post a picture or as many as needed to give a good representative view of the machine's condition. The image preview doesn't qualify! Pictures should be 800 pixels in the longest dimension to keep the size within the limits for pictures.
  2. Your really cold weather is our summer temperatures. My wife's cousin asked when was the best weather here (Calgary, AB) to visit. Asked her what her winter temperatures were. 20 to 25 C. It's never a good time to come here! (Unless you are coming to Ski or Snowboard.) Current temperatures over the past few days have run from high of 17C to 30C. Lows around 9C to 14C. We have had snow every month of the year except July. Banff and the Rogers Pass have had snow every month of the year. They are just 1 and 2 hours west of us. Winter here, common daytime highs are from -10C to -20C. A cold snap is -35C with a strong NW wind, 20 to 60 km/h. In 1964 while I was attending Tech School here, we had over 30 days of -35F with 30 to 40 mph N and NW winds. (I'll leave the British units for you to convert.) That's the coldest I've ever been. Fort McMurray (10 hours north of here where I worked for 9 years) gets a week or 2 at a time of -40C to -50C. All vehicles have a block heater, and if you need to be able to jump in your vehicle and head out to handle an emergency (power and utility plant operations crew), the vehicles are left running 24/7. However, next to no wind, lots of ice fog in the valley. The wind makes a huge difference. We do get what we call, some nice weather here.
  3. The stud in the bar is an integral part of the bar. It just crimps the bar onto the leather flap.
  4. Moved this thread to Shoes, Boots, Sandals and Moccassins
  5. I believe it happened many months ago.
  6. Remember to use your email address that you use with LW instead of the user/screen name.
  7. That will be 220 Volt (VAC). Current (amperage) may be around 40A to 80A. You can check your breaker panel to see what the breaker was rated at if it is still there. Just for comparison: Dryers are typically on a 30A circuit (220 VAC). Electric ranges are typically 40A. For the past 50 years or so, most houses had a 100A service. Many now are 200A.
  8. You forgot to post the price. It is required.
  9. You should tag or quote the user you want to correspond with as not all users have properly setup their notifications. To tag, type the @ symbol followed by the user's screen name and pick it from the popup box. Like this @Radam you have someone interested in your clicker press, see above.
  10. Since you want a steel rule die bender, I split your post off its initial location and moved it to the Marketplace > Wanted. This is where it belongs.
  11. Moved to leather sewing machines. You'll get more help here.
  12. Somewhere, maybe here, I have seen T-nuts used for saddle attachments. Quite a range in sizes available 8-32, 1/4 20 tpi, etc. If you have access to the underside of the tree without too much work, they won't pull out. Lots more holding power than screws. Can enlarge the damaged screw hole to insert them. Just scrolled back through to the beginning of this thread and see this is what @Hildebrand suggested @Mendosa in the 2nd post!
  13. There is a big difference in holding power when you compare screws run into end grain versus screws run across the grain. The screws that are run into end grain easily shear and pull out. Compare to chopping with the grain (splitting wood) versus chopping across the grain. Anyone that has chopped wood knows the difference. I've had screws in end grain pull right out where they didn't when screwed into cross grain.
  14. Just scroll back up a couple posts and it is right there, still available. Just downloaded it to test, it downloads just fine.
