Your old digital camera is doing just fine. The rest of improving pictures is practice, same as leatherwork or any other. Composition, lighting, interesting angles, some close ups, etc. Avoid distracting backgrounds if you can, but that is not always possible. Most people here are interested in sewing machines, fixing them, keeping them running, etc. Tom

Have you done a search here for existing threads? Here are 2 that I found in a quick search. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/53981-needle-size-thread-spi-and-leather-weight-rule-of-thumb/?page=2 https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/55351-ideal-stitch-length-for-specific-thread-size/ Tom

Users cannot delete posts. When an item is updated to sold, a moderator moves the thread to old/sold and locks it. Can still be viewed, but no further posts are allowed. So it is now locked and moved. Thanks for the notification. Tom

@Mark842 The machinist will have to turn the piece, then mill the surface similar to how they mill or broach splines. Your splines look like they have about a 5 degree offset or slope. If straight cut will suit you, you may be able to save a couple dollars. It's likely not worth the time to set up a CNC program for a one off. Take the part in with you and tell them you want them to make a new one. Here is a web page that will explain some of what you are looking for. Tom

@Tc1388 Take the belt off and turn the machine by hand to see if it makes any unusual noise. With the power off and the belt off, turn the motor pulley and see what you hear. Try it without pressing the pedal, and with various amounts of pressure on the pedal. When searching for the location of a noise, you can take a short length of garden hose (or similar), put one end against your ear, and move the other end to check locations the noise is coming from. You don't need to press the open end of the hose against the machine, just close to it. It helps to eliminate other noise distractions and home in on the source area. Tom

You're welcome. Appreciate the feedback. I like to help out where I can. Tom

Discussion closed. It has strayed way beyond the OP's question and you guys won't let your personal opinions go. Tom

@Asanka Please read and comply with the instructions and requirements for postings in the marketplace. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ You must list the location, fully describe the condition, etc. Pictures are a great help if you really want to sell it. It is a good idea to put your location in your profile so people know whether you live on Mars or Venus or somewhere else in the galaxy. Tom

Lot's of people out here! If something gets missed, you can "Report" the item instead of cluttering up another thread. I just happened on this by accident. It isn't guaranteed to catch a moderator's attention. Tom

State your location and shipping information, will you ship, will you pack, what are your limits on shipping? It's a good idea to add your location to your profile. Tom

Here is a crescent wrench by most North American usage. It is an adjustable wrench, I believe originally made by the Crescent Co. Tom
