@Bender Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You'll get more responses here. Tom

@OLDNSLOW According to marketplace rules, you should be listing prices, shipping etc. for all items listed for sale. Tom

@OLDNSLOW Reduce your file sizes and you can post lots of photos in the same post. 800 x 600 pixels is adequate and usually results in a file size of less than 5K. Tom

Heavy duty sewing machines are not leather sewing machines. They may be suitable for garment and other thin leathers. See this post Tom

@Rockoboy See above post for a Youtube Link. Hopefully that will work for you. Tom

Edit is only open for a limited period of time. Just add photos in a new post to this same thread. Tom

Use a curved needle. Keep your awl perpendicular to the leather surface. Use a piece of pipe or bar stock clamped in a vice for your anvil, or use an anvil with a horn that is forged as part of the anvil. I see from your IP address that you are in Excelsior, Minnesota, 55331 so should have access to a Tandy store (or others you can visit or web order from. Tandy has brass rivets with burs, #12 x 3/4" long. You might like to add your location to your profile so people know what part of the world you live in and can give you meaningful help for your part of the globe. Tom

@TonySFLDLTHR Can you post this on your Youtube channel and provide a link to it? Tom

Looks like it was shared on Facebook. If you use Facebook, try logging in to it and see if it works for you then. What kind of error or message do you get when you try to view it? Tom

And pictures? Tom

That is good information to know. That may be the cause of other multiple posts that we see from time to time here. Thanks. Tom

@Zsuzsu Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You will get more help here than in Help Wanted. Help wanted posts require approval of a moderator before they can be seen by others. Help Wanted is like the classified ads in the newspaper where you advertise looking for someone to work for you, or if you are looking for work. (And multiple posts are not required to get our attention. It may be accidental if you hit submit more than once. Give the server and internet time to process and return your response.) Tom

Have you done a search here? I remember reading a thread with some recipes. Tom

Seems like the trees go missing, A search for "RANCHO SADDLE LAMP KIT" turns up some interesting photos as well. Tom

A google search "leather saddle lamp" turned up these, plus several others. Tom

The needle needs to rise about 1/4" from the bottom of its stroke. It is still buried in the material. NOT 1/4" above the material. Tom

@christine1ca Moved your post to leather sewing machines. Better chance of more help here. When reverse stitching/back tacking, don't hit reverse until the needle has past bottom and has risen about 1/4" so the loop is caught by the hook. If the hook misses the loop, you get missed stitches and bird's nests. Tom

Location based on IP address is Houston, Tx, USA It would be very helpful if all users listed their location in their profile. It helps to get information relative to your location and might even find someone just down the street that may be able to help with problems. Tom

Your bride might not like this! Better to try bridle leather. Tom

If you have a business name and registration, Tandy will give you a wholesale account which gives elite pricing, and sometimes some better pricing than elite. They have a preferred customer flyer that has sales at much lower than elite from time to time. At least that is the way it is here. Tom

@fbmini Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You will get more help there. Help wanted requires a moderator to approve every post on the thread. It is typically like the help wanted classifieds in a newspaper, usually looking for someone to do some work for them. Tom

Go to the top right of the screen and click on your user name. Slide done and pick account settings. Then under Other Setting, pick notification settings. Tick the boxes you want, un-tick the boxes you don't want. Tom

Is it for a large man, or is he adding a bunch of padding to get to that size? If he is really that large around the waist, I would seriously consider using 2 layers. Reminds me of my grandfather many years ago. He asked for a belt for his 56" waist. So I added the 4" for the buckle end, and 8" for the tongue and took it to him. It just met, could not be worn. I didn't have another strip long enough, so he never got his belt! Tom

Really fantastic work! Tom
