    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

    It doesn't look like the pockets have been wet formed. Looks like the swivel knives are just forced into the pocket, stretching them out somewhat. You could assemble the kit, moisten the front of the pockets some (if the leather is vegtan), and push a swivel knife in (or a piece of doweling to shape the pocket. Tom

    Right! A prior post shows theclip.com

    Leather has been used for chair seats for ages, both as padded cushion type and stapled or nailed to an open frame. I'd go with decorative upholstery tacks along the outside of the bar. Sewing makes nice perforations so it can rip along the seam. Still can be done, but need something like 8 or fewer stitches per inch. Tom

    I'd go back and talk to Ron. Might be willing to help you out. Tom

    Since this is a world wide forum, it is a good idea to add your location to your profile. Then you can get answers that are more applicable to your area and country. There are several Australian members here that can help you. Tom

    From Google translate I can not understand the reason for the sequence of weaving and weaving principle and how many layers you need

    4 oz covers a lot of area. Should be plenty if putting it on with a dauber. Tom

    Take my pattern above. Shorten the neck by about a quarter inch, and cut up the fold line from the bottom to about equal with the screw holes and you should have what you need. The loop was a little too long, so that is why you need to reduce the length of the neck a little. I'm tied up on other stuff, else would make a new pattern along with a photo example. Tom
