  1. I suppose you could run an engine driven compressor for compressed air. Also need power for the solenoids, though it may be only 24 v. So if I was going to setup for work "in the deep woods" I would just use a standard machine and hook up to an gasoline or diesel engine driven electric generator. I know some people use propane fueled engines on their generators. For more permanent locations with natural gas available (no electric utility) I would install a Generac 20 kW generator set. I helped install one for backup power in an area subject to frequent power outages during summer rains and floods. Can run on nat gas or propane. Certainly allows one to sleep better and have peace of mind knowing you can keep two 1 hp sump pumps running! Tom
  2. Moved this from "wanted" to "sewing machines" since you have posted similar in used. Wanted requires moderator approval for every post. Tom
  3. OSHA sets legal limits on noise exposure in the workplace. These limits are based on a worker's time weighted average over an 8 hour day. With noise, OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 90 dBA for all workers for an 8 hour day. The OSHA standard uses a 5 dBA exchange rate. Other jurisdictions may use 85dBA as the limit. That is fairly loud in comparison to tooling leather. Comparison chart https://www.noisehelp.com/noise-level-chart.html Safe noise levels https://www.noisehelp.com/noise-dose.html Tom
  4. Also pull the thread out of the needle or you'll likely have a big birds nest to deal with. Tom

  7. It's the solvent that is used in spirit based dyes that is the problem in California. Whether it is regular or Pro dye, same problem. Tom
  8. @Blueboost Add a picture or two ... add some specs so people don't have to go look it up, maybe that will help generate some interest for you. Tom

  15. You should provide more information, such as your location. Might be somebody on the same planet as you. From your IP address, you appear to be in the Redmond, WA area. Photos might help as well! Tom
  16. Dye is not a finish. If you want to protect it from moisture, pick a finish that is somewhat water resistant. Lots of them are. To get a nice high polish, wax the surface. You can dye any time you wish depending on the result you are looking for. If you dye an article before punching holes, you can go back with a small brush and touch up the holes. You can dip dye the whole thing after all the cutting and punching. You can use an airbrush to apply dye. ... Tom
  17. I have a jug of NFO that is many years old, probably from the early 50s or even in the 40s. It had been stored in a shed that was subject to -40C to +35C. It's still good. Tom
