  1. Moved your post to leather sewing machines.
  2. Moved your post to Dyes, Antiques, Stains, Glues, Waxes, Finishes and Conditioners.
  3. 10kW Generac at Home Depot $5000 CAN 22 kW $7500 CAN Auto Transfer switch 100A 120-240VAC $1200 CAN. Probably over sized, but a reference point for interest.
  4. You got it 2 minutes before I flagged it and blocked them from posting.
  5. You can try moistening the back a little, don't soak it, lay out on paper towel to absorb the moisture, place smooth plastic on top, piece of plywood on top of that, pile a bunch of books or other weights on top and leave it for a couple days. Any pattern in the material you place on top of the leather will transfer to the leather, so has to be smooth. If you are in an area with high humidity and warm that promotes mold growth, need to inspect after a few hours, air it out, and replace the weights and repeat.
  6. My son has a Generac 2200 kW on natural gas with auto transfer. He has 2 sump pumps in the basement and one in a well just outside the basement. His house is in an area close to a creek, and only has about 6" of top soil on gravel, the ground water level gets pretty high during mountain snow melt and rain in June each year. When they coincide, there is water from the creek across the road into his acreage. Power poles in his area have fallen over during these rains and floods knocking out power in the area. While we were putting in the generator, we got the heavy rain and huge mountain run off due to rain in the mountains. He had a 2" trash pump running continuous to keep the basement dry. The gas fitter wouldn't come out in the rain to make the last hook up, so we switched the generator to propane and brought in multiple propane bottles. Was a really stressful few days. Now it's all automated and fewer problems, but the gasoline trash pumps and hose are on standby just in case!
  7. Guests can't post pictures, but could give a link to a 3rd party site.
  8. Mount it on a piece of mat board used for framing pictures. Pick a complementary colour. Mat board is available at various hobby type stores such a Micheals. Then you can frame it in what ever frame, maybe even with non-reflective glass. By backlight, do you mean to mount the frame/box some distance off the wall and place a light behind it? If the article is dark coloured, the contrast between the bright wall and the article will hide the detail of the tooling. You can see how some articles are mounted in this video. And a tour of Jim Linnell's studio on Facebook.
  9. Message me the URL you are trying to display. If it is a file size problem - here are some suggestions: If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit. Follow this link for some helps and suggestions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots of Apps, software, and online tools available on the web, or even built into your device to enable you to reduce your file sizes. 800 pixels in the longest dimension is quite adequate. Smart phone screens and many monitors don't display high res files in high resolution. People that live on the fringes of the internet appreciate smaller file sizes and high res photos may take from 10 minutes to hours to download.
  10. Looks like a nice spot there @Frodo. Edited your post to remove the blank videos.
  11. You have some great work and photos in this thread. And they are all still visible! However, Please post your photos here. 3rd party hosted photos frequently disappear due to changes in the host's policies, host out of business, users moving files, deleting files, closing their account or the account expiring. When this happens, the post becomes worthless to all future users who are researching or looking for help to solve a problem. If your files are too large to post here due to file size restrictions, you need to resize your files to fit.

  14. Post it in the marketplace > miscellaneous/other This is not the right place for it. Read the marketplace rules as well. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/
  15. Pictures might help get some more input. Please post your pics here, not on 3rd party hosts. Resize to 800 pixels in the longest dimension to meet file size restrictions here.

  17. I've made a request for some support to try to get this fixed. CFM - cubic feet per minute - maybe windy guys? LOL
  18. It works. The cable to his dish had a problem, they sent out a new cable and an upgraded dish, no charge. I've thought about it too, even though I'm in a large urban location with fibre. He is quite happy with his setup. He would like to be on fibre too. He and a group of other users along the foothills with poor or no service are looking at setting up a coop to own and run their own fibre, and tie into main fibre cables in 2 locations so they have a little redundancy. Good question as to whether it will happen or just become a pipe dream.
  19. You have not hit the "Submit Reply" button in this screen capture, therefore there is no edit button. Notice the prompt "Click to choose files". It's only there during the time you are formulating your post. Once posted by hitting the "Submit Reply" button, that prompt goes away and the "Edit Button" should be visible and appear like this: Another indication that it hasn't been posted yet is that your keyboard is still visible. The keyboard goes away after the post has been submitted. So far to me, it appears to be a case of user error.
  20. See above post and download the PDF.
  21. My son lives near a little town that has a cell tower on the hill above the town. The town itself is in a dead spot, no cell coverage. The school liked it for a few years, students couldn't use their cell phones! Finally the staff and parents got tired of it so the school has put in a repeater. Where he lives, he is in a valley. Had to put a repeater and antenna on top of his 2 story house to be able to connect with one cell provider. Others not able to connect with. He had a buried telephone cable running past his place. Couldn't get on it because all the pairs were already assigned. Finally one of the phone company's techs came out and traced all the connections and found him a spare pair, so he now has a land line after several years without. For internet service, he is on Starlink. It works fairly well for him compared to having to use cell service with its costs and limitations.
  22. I don't see your screen shots.
