  1. Beautiful dog! Tom
  2. @LeatherworkingNovice Merged both threads and removed redundant posts. Tom
  3. Just a couple thoughts. You could mount a piece of leather in the shape of a dog, or paw prints, etc. on a piece of mat board, place some of the hair across part of it, or beside the shape you picked, and frame it with a non-reflective glass. Even a swatch of hair over a good photograph would do the trick. Hope this is enough to jog your thinking cells. Loss of a long term pet is traumatic. We won't be getting any more pets. Our cats were very difficult for us to put down when they became ancient and very ill. Tom
  4. Look for saddle skirting. Even Tandy sells some. Most leather suppliers should be able to source it for you. Tom
  5. @millrat Moved to leather sewing machines Tom
  6. Welcome aboard! Hope you find all the help you need here. There are certainly lots of great people and examples here. I notice that this triple posted! Please avoid hitting submit more than once. Also avoid going back a page after posting, and hitting submit again. I've deleted the extra posts. Tom
  7. Howard Imprinting supplies hot stamping machines, foil, type and accessories. Also have some videos. My imprinter is a Howard machine re-branded by Gold Star (who has gone out of business). It is similar to Kingsley and works well. They are expensive. Bought mine secondhand with a couple boxes of napkins, pencils, card stock, foil, etc. for about $300. Had hardly been used. I decided I needed something to be able to hot stamp chrome tanned and other leathers. My son had used a Kingsley when he was a teenager to print business cards. When he quit using it, I finally gave it away. Wished I hadn't! Tom
  8. For patterns you should always print actual size as a starting point. When you scale a PDF to fit paper, or to remove borders, you skew the pattern dimensions. Tom
  9. @IronbridgeKOREA Hasn't visited this site since he/she posted Aug 28. Strange how people can't follow up on their posts when they are supposedly trying to sell something to us! Tom
  10. If everything you make is flat, then a flat bed is all you need. Have you read this post? Tom
  11. OP is located at Valrico, Florida, 33594 according to the IP address. Tom
  12. @marronne Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You'll get more info and feedback here. Tom
  13. @McLestergl You have some people interested in your machine. I notice you haven't been around here since Dec 3. Tom
  14. @Boston10 See below
  15. It is a clone of this one. https://www.hewitonline.com/Scharf_Fix_Paring_Machine_and_Spare_Blades_p/tl-091.htm The original has more adjustments than other simple ones like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Leather-Splitter-Rollers-Device-Edge-Skiver-Paring-Cutter-Craft-DIY-Tool-/303030069152?hash=item468dffe7a0 I purchased another very similar to this one and have not been happy with it. I built one of my own based on the Scharf Fix Paring machine. It works much better. Tom
  16. You should indicate who you are interested in hiring. There are many posters to this thread. If you include their handle in your post, they will receive a notice. example @heavyleathernyc Also not the last post to this thread was November 2014. Tom
  17. Please include photos as per rules for market place. Review the rules here http://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ Tom
  18. @Chamod Please read the rules for market place http://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ Add selling price, shipping, etc. Tom
  19. Photos might get some interest. And I'll move this to market place where you should be posting items for sale. Include price, shipping, etc. Check the rules for market place. Tom
  20. From what I see, most of it would seem to be individual users' computers, software, WiFi, and internet connection and routing. I have not had problems uploading or downloading, or connecting to the forum.

  21. Your original post. I am asking Ron at Techsew to respond to this thread. Tom
  22. @Techsew Ron See post above Tom
  23. Looks very difficult to get this rivet to spread enough to hold. Looks too short as well to add a bur. Need to get larger diameter rivets. Tom
  24. @Netsmoreau Moved your post to leather sewing machines where you should get more answers. Looks like you might have the problem mostly figured out. Foot needs to be wide enough or positioned so it pinches the material on the feed dogs to feed properly. Tom
  25. Just add your photos to a new post in this thread. Thanks Tom
