You've got me beat by about a year. I started digitizing my magazines about 20 years ago. I was running out of shelf space between magazines and reference texts for engineering and computer programming. 2 each 4' wide shelves 6' high. Then there are the rest of the family's books. At one count 1500 approximately. I had even dumped a ton of photographic and power engineering magazines that I wish I still had. Had pulled all the ads out and stapled the informative articles and stored them in bankers boxes.

The foot has a slot cut in the front of the toe so you can see the needle and the leather as the needle approaches the leather. You can cut and grind out the foot yourself. No need to buy another foot just to get an open toe.

He hasn't been back since November 2 even though tagged December 5. So I am archiving this thread.

As Klara says above, create a database so you can search and find the articles you are looking for. Especially if you scan the magazines. Include Magazine name, volume number or date, article name, short description, up to 6 key words.

First, I would get rid of the clutch motor and replace it with a servo motor. You can find lots of info and comments on servo motors here on LW. Many motors mounting brackets allow you to move the motor to one side or the other. You probably will need to move it to the left. If the bracket doesn't allow for sideways adjustment, then figure out how far the motor needs to move, plot positions for new mounting bolt holes in the table, drill new holes and move the motor and bracket to the new holes. Note the new position (center-line) of the small pulley on your speed reducer that drives the machine pulley should be behind a perpendicular center-line of the machine pulley so you can tilt the machine head back like before the addition of the speed reducer.

@lovemycarbs If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit. 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. Reducing your pics to 800 pixels in the longest dimension will produce files in the neighbourhood of 50kB, lots of room to post many pics.

I collected a few hundred woodcrafting magazines over the years. Then one day decided to scan them to PDF files, then disposed of the original magazines. Pages that were only ads, I deleted, unless there was something I wanted as a reference. Pull-out pages that were just regular page size, I split and scanned. Depending on your scanner and software tools, you can splice the pages. Later I got a scanner with a carrier that scans both sides of a folded page (up to 11x17" folded to 8.5x11") and joins them automatically. You do have to do those pages individually, versus using an auto-feeder. If you are looking at purchasing a new scanner that scans both sides of a sheet simultaneously, look at ScanSnap. It was a huge time saver for me. Scans to PDF. Just cut the magazine into single sheets, remove garbage pages, stack in the scanner and go. Scans both sides of each sheet in less than 2 seconds. So a typical magazine can be scanned in maybe 2 minutes, plus the time to separate into single sheets. There was a series of magazines that had large pull out pages 21" x 31" that I have stored in pocket folders rather than cutting them up.

You already have this posted in another thread by the same name. DO NOT DO MULTIPLE POSTS ON THE SAME SUBJECT. In that post a member told you the picture was unrecognizable. So posting it again is no help nor a solution. There are numerous resources both here and others on the web. Do some research on your own looking at different rivet styles, different types of snap, etc. You can look through online suppliers like https://tandyleather.com/?country=US, https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/, https://www.springfieldleather.com/ and others. There are loads of YouTube videos you can search and look at. The suppliers listed above have videos available as well, usually posted on YouTube. I'm locking this thread rather than leaving it to be commented on by you or others.

Great reference material!

Look at this thread

@lovemycarbs Or if you work in inches, 1 oz is 1/64" thus 8 oz is 1/8" and so forth.

There is some confusion here. Presser feet for this machine (walking foot) come as a pair, inside foot, and outside foot. Don't refer to them as left and right. Your outside foot is with a left toe. They are available as right toe and with both toes. When he removes the inside foot, there is no binding, no noise, easy to turn the hand-wheel.

Definitely! It has to have room for leather under the foot too! Do a search for balancing the inner and outer feet for your machine, check for instruction manuals. @Wizcrafts this fellow could use some help if you can fit it into your day.

Moved to "wanted"

Auto Correct must have got you "dog food issue" for video title! The inner foot and feed dog are moving (feeding) together while this noise occurs. But you say it doesn't when you have the opposite foot on. Is that correct? Are the outside feet the same length? Sounds like it inner foot and feed dog are being highly stressed. Does the hand-wheel become hard to turn during that part of the cycle? The feed dog looks like it is tight against the right side. The sewing machine guys with all the experience should be along soon.

You can take a longer video and post on YouTube and post the link to it here. Might be able to see and understand better. You can show with different foot positions so we can see the difference in behaviour.

You should post this in the "Marketplace" area under "Wanted"

Old post that he may not be following. You need to tag the member or quote the post like I just did. To tag a member, type the '@' symbol followed by the member's username and pick it from the popup box. @p40whk You have a comment to look at, see above. If you want to sell a machine, Post it in the Marketplace area. Pay attention to the marketplace rules https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/

Please post your photos here. Reduce file size to 800 pixels in the longest dimension to fit the file size restrictions here.

I second the neat-lac. Maybe 3 light coats so it doesn't crack because it is too thick.
