@NVLeatherWorx @Rockoboy Magnets do not affect smart phones or tablets performance. SD cards are not affected by magnetism. Neither is the RAM in the phone. Neither is the CPU. The screens do not use magnetic fields like CRTs and are not affected by magnetic fields. Many smart and older cell phone cases (and tablets covers) include magnets to switch the screen off when the case is closed, and also to activate the screen when taken out of the case. If magnets had the effects that are claimed by those repeating false information, why would the OEMs use magnets in their cases and covers? Several years ago, I was asked to make a replacement case for a Blackberry Phone. I used the original magnets, placed them in the same position as in the OEM case, and it all worked just like the OEM case. I would ask all those that read this to spread correct information rather than repeating proven falsehoods. There is one exception with smart phones ... with GPS sensors (magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope). Take a look at this test https://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=smartphone-mount It even shows it not to be a serious problem. Tom

I had a hide that smelled awful. Didn't think I would be able to use it for anything. Scrubbed it with liquid saddle soap, sprayed on, really wet, rinsed it off under running water. Then treated it with oxalic acid. That fixed it so the foul urine like smell was gone and the hide was usable. So try the saddle soap first like battlemunky says and see how it goes. If that doesn't do it, then may oxalic acid, but it will bleach the leather. Tom

@eflores you should be providing photos of the press as well as per the rules for posting in the market place. http://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ Also identify your location. China, Australia, Mexico, etc! Tom

Lay it out on a long sheet of paper. You'll be able to visualize it much easier. buckle end of belt of course loops around the buckle bar. Then must extend around the waist to the hook side of the buckle. The distance from the bar on the buckle to the hook might be 2". So if you add up the belt from the bar to the middle hole on the billet, plus the 2" (or what ever the measure from bar to hook is), that will be the waist measurement. Now you can work backwards to make the belt measurement. So measure the girl's waist over clothes where the belt will be worn, deduct the bar to hook measurement, and you will have the belt length from buckle end (folded over) to the middle hole in the billet. For a growing youngster, I would add a couple inches and make that the new middle hole in the billet. If you do a search on this forum, you will find multiple threads with instructions. Tom

Hi @Vugar Moved your post to hardware and accessories. Posts in "Help Wanted" require moderators approval for all posts in the thread. I think you'll get more answers here too. Are the pieces that appear to be like straps metal? If so these could be purse or bag frames that you press together at the ends to bow the sides of the bag outward, opening the bag. Tom

Would be nice to post your findings hear so others can see without having to go research it too. Kind of helps fill out this thread. Tom

Some guys swear that the link belt reduces vibration on their tablesaws. But that belt is really traveling compared to a sewing machine. They are quite handy when you're not sure of the belt size, or for a one size fits all in your shop. But as noted, they are expensive. Tom

@Toro Moved to business and estate sales rather than wanted! As in your other post, identify your location (street address and California is rather vague!) and whether you will ship, etc. Tom

@Toro From your IP address it appears you are in the Los Angeles area. Confirm your location and whether you will ship or what. Tom

@McLestergl Add your shipping info or restrictions. Tom

I only have easy access to Organ needles. There are many other recommendations elsewhere in this forum. Tom

Conical point needles blow out the back of the leather. So yes the right move is leather point 135x16. Tom

Please read the Marketplace Rules and abide by them http://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ At the very least you should have photos. What type of motor, what have you been using it for, etc. Tom

Wow! Tom

Use a leather point needle. Looks like yours is a standard conical point. They blow out the back instead of slicing through the leather. Hammer the seam flat after. It will help fix the blowout. Tom

IP address is for Frohna, Missouri @MommaMiia it's a good idea to include your location in your profile so more relevant information can be given that fits your location in this global world we live in. Tom

That sounds like it is more likely than my comment above. Good call. Tom
