    Reduce your file sizes to fit the size restriction. There are several posts about reducing file size. Do a search and you should find what you need very quickly. Tom

    Here is some useful info on using magnets. http://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=magnets-vs-steel Tom

    Hope all of you and your families have a great year 2017. JLS, you must be getting slow! Tom

    Tannin used in the tanning process, plus iron, makes blue / black spots. (Check out the vinegaroon process used to produce black leather without using actual dyes.) Looks like there may be some contamination with iron filings, maybe from one of the tannery's cutting or finishing machines. Dampening the leather will likely make the spots larger. In your own shop and work areas, try to make sure that no iron filings get transferred to your veg tan leather. Tom

    If you don't have an ad blocker, you will see banner ads along the top of this web page. Each time you refresh the page, it will replace the ads with others. These ads are all sponsors for this site (as well as some contributing members). If you have an ad blocker installed, disable it for this site so you can see what is there. They are not intrusive. We would like to have members support our sponsors where it is reasonable to do so. Tom

    Contacted the OP. He only wants to sell the whole works as a single lot. Tom

    Everyone has a file limit. Resize your photos down to 800 pixels wide and you can post lots of pics in a single post. There are resizing apps on the web, also ones you can download. There are several posts about resizing if you want to do a search for them to get their ideas and comments. Posting photos here is better than linking to another hosting service. There are many broken links here because web addresses change, and people take their photos down after some period of time. Tom

    Would you fellows mind posting the link? Others would be interested I'm sure. Tom

    Try a medical supply house for a plastic eye cover. Then wet form a leather patch using it as a form. Had to wear one of the plastic ones for a few days a couple years ago. Tom

    It would be interesting to see if there are any bow makers here and what their comment and experience would be. Their laminations are all oriented along the length of the bow. Maybe it has more to do with how much spring. Off topic, but interesting. Tom

    Seems to me I recall a post a while back that they are no longer available. Try a search for them here. Tom

    One piece of leather, split from bottom to a point in line with the screw. Follow my pattern and advice posted above. Cut on the line marked as a fold line. Look real close at the picture you quoted and you can see what is cut, and what is folded. Might be hard to see if you are looking at it on a phone, go to a larger screen, or zoom in. Tom

    That guide on the bobbin case is for doing zig-zag stitching. My Singer 20U instructions indicate it can be bypassed for straight stitching. Tom Edit: On the Singer 20U, the face of the bobbin case is parallel with the arm, not 90 degrees like the Pfaff, so this comment isn't really relevant to the Pfaff. More likely to aid timing when changing stitch lengths and the motion of the walking foot.

    Agree it also says 20 A. However a kg-m is not a Nm. Recall that F = mass x acceleration.

    No calculations needed. Nameplate says rated 3.1 Amps and 550 Watts. That's 0.73 horse power. Tom

    800 or 1024 pixels wide are good settings. Reduces files size, reduces server storage requirements, reduces upload time, and reduces the download time while viewing. For people on the fringes of the internet, it really helps to keep file sizes down. Tom

    Moved to help wanted. Hopefully you will get some assistance there. Tom

    Blot most of the dye off your brush so it is almost dry. Sometimes called dry brushing. Doesn't drop a glob of dye when you touch the leather, so no line where it spread out. Tom

    Editing your posts is only available for a short time, maybe 15 to 30 minutes. If you need something fixed beyond that time frame, a moderator can do that for you. Else, just add more info or comments to a new post in the existing thread. Helps keep related things together and organized. Tom

    Also no need to start a new thread! Tom

    Welcome! You may be able to find some local help with what might be available in your area if you would include your location. Texas, Alaska, UK, Europe, Australia? This is a world wide forum. Tom
