You need to tone down a notch or two. Keep it civil.

Has been requested long ago. Apparently there is no provision for one in the forum software. Maybe we are better off not having one as pointed out by Mulesaw.

I moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. This is where the machine guys hang out. Secondly, your photos are too small to see details. Resize photos (JPG or PNG) to 800 pixels in the longest dimension. That will produce files with enough detail and still meet the size restrictions on this site.

These are for wood screws, so not the correct thickness necessarily. The important part is the faces are parallel rather than tapered. So won't cam out as easily, less damage to screw heads.

We lock the post and move it to Old/Sold. No deletions.

Moved your post to Shoes, Boots, Sandals and Moccassins

I split your post off of an old thread. Better to start a new thread than to tag onto an old thread with a different topic.

Some photos of your machine showing the details you are asking/commenting on would be helpful to get you answers.

File too large and not supported. Don't know how you managed to load this file. Post it on YouTube and provide a link to it here.

Product photo doesn't display.

Like you are? Your IP address resolves to Staré Město, Moravskoslezský, 738 01, Czech Republic. Most often, IP addresses from India, Pakistan, etc. are spammers. They will join Leatherworker.net, pretend to be good members, often post a reply to a thread that hasn't seen any activity for several years. This thread had none for 2 years. Their double post tends to raise flags as well. So I was poking a hornets nest with a stick!

Why is your location listed as Australia but your IP address is New Delhi (Pocket F), Delhi, 110001, India?

Merged your second post, same topic in with the original. Please do not clutter up the forum with multiple threads on the same topic. I had moved your original post to the correct forum so you did not need to duplicate it!

Moved your post to Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners

Moved your post to leather sewing machines. This is where the machine guys hang out. You'll be much more likely to get help here.

If you don't post a price as asked, this post will be locked and archived.

Please post copies here if they aren't too large for the file size restrictions here. If they are too large, send me a PM and I'll give you an email address to send them to, then I'll post them here. They may be useful to other members now or in the future. Thanks.

Good reason to post in show off, but I've moved it to leather sewing machines.

You have responses posted to you that you haven't viewed.

In the future, please post your photos here. 3rd party hosted photos frequently disappear due to changes in the host's policies, host out of business, users moving files, deleting files, closing their account or the account expiring. When this happens, the post becomes worthless to all future users who are researching or looking for help to solve a problem. If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit. Please use jpg or png format files as they load automatically when the thread is opened. Follow this link for some helps and suggestions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution. People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.

If you have a Tandy store nearby, take your punch or belt there and compare the sizes. They have 3 sizes. Maybe these listed sizes might help you.

Suede is a type of leather made from the flesh side of the skin, giving it a soft surface. It is typically thin and soft, has been mechanically worked to produce a nice soft consistent nap. Suede is often made from lambskin, but it is also made from other skins including goats, pigs, calves, and deer. When the flesh side of vegetable tanned leather is placed on the show side, it is called "rough out". Leather sold as splits have a suede appearance on both sides and is usually heavier than a typical showy suede. It's often chrome tanned. Hope this helps.

So why use suede?

If you are only applying it to the smooth side, no harm. If you are applying it to the suede/velvety side, it will glue all the fibers down and won't look or feel like suede. Depends on what you want it to do for you.
