    Be careful of alcohol fumes being drawn through a fan where the motor is open to the fumes. The motor needs to be a non-sparking type, no switch in the motor or totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC). A spark in alcohol fumes can give you quite an unwelcome surprise! Tom

    Also do a google search for "diaper bag pattern" and you will find lots of hits. Mostly fabric, but will give you good ideas and useful patterns. Tom

    For edge burnishing read Bob Park's pinned post under how to do that.

    Did you scuff up the smooth surface of the plastic first? Various glues and cements need a "tooth" to hold onto. I have been able to use water-based contact cement successfully with several different plastics. There are some plastics apparently that do not play well. Always good to test "new to you" processes on some scrap first to prove the concept. Tom

    @Mudmule and @theenie PM Howie696 - just a few posts above yours. This booklet is out of print and it seems no one is looking to do reprints. Tom

    Playing goofy, or are you serious? Multiply by 5/8 and you will have miles. Tom

    Rust, oxidation of iron in a moist environment. Likely used up all the free acid. Still works as there is iron available to work with tannin in the leather. Tom

    Need enough presser foot pressure to stop the leather from lifting. That also causes skipped stitches. Tom

    Do a google search with something like this "site:leatherworker.net power skiver", minus the quotes. You will find lots about power skivers, setup, problems, use, etc.

    An airbrush should be adequate. It's not like you are trying to paint a wall with a airbrush that only covers 2" diameter circle. It is also easy to overlap without leaving defined edges on the overlap. There are lots of posts about using airbrushes, size, model, etc. here. Do a goggle search limited to this site "site:leatherworker.net airbrush" the string site:leatherworker.net limits google to searching this site. You can click on the link and save yourself time typing it in. You can add other terms into the search string to limit or better define the results you are looking for. Tom

    Be careful not to lift the presser foot too high and lose your top tension. Just ease it up enough to be able to turn the leather a little. If you lift the foot and turn before the hook has grabbed the loop, you could drop a stitch. So best to wait to turn until the needle has risen maybe 1/4" but still well into the leather. Tom

    @strudell You have some people interested if you would care to follow up your post. Tom

    A google search finds these links plus many more (singer 17w15 sewing machine): http://www.usa-dealer.net/SINGER-17W15-heavy-duty-zig-zag-sewing-machine_p_1694.html https://www.manualslib.com/manual/364455/Singer-17w15.html Tom

    I assume you are hanging onto the threads when starting a line of stitching? Tom

    Register a trademark name owned by your company. I have also used 'xxxx' division of 'yyyy'. You can register trade names and trade marks. Regulations vary by state and country, but trade marks have similar requirements in most areas. Note if registered in only one state, it is possible for someone in another state to use and register your trademark. There is something about federal registrations, but I can't recall what it was, other than it covers all states. Tom

    @turkeyknocker Show us a couple more photos, individual tool from various angles. Do they have a sharp edge for cutting? Tom

    @HoloWhips Larger motor pulley increases machine speed and decreases available torque. Did you mean it has a smaller pulley on it and you have the larger one to supply with the machine? Tom

    There is a faint line below "Quote, Edit, Options". Below that faint line on the right is an "X" (faint). Mouse over it and it turns dark and a "tip" appears saying "Ignore signature preferences" and you make your selection. You can also go to your profile and chose who and what to ignore from there. Tom
  24. Northmount
    You will have to log in as a different user as your signature line is not normally displayed to yourself (that might be inconsistent as I can see mine, but it is just text). I had set my profile to ignore your signature line due to its size quite some time ago. I re-enabled it just a few moments ago and don't see your signature line on your posts, so either the server is ignoring my change, or you have dropped your signature line while trying to sort it out.
