Move to 3D Lasers and Printers

Thank you, much appreciated. Some helps here besides on the web.

Please post photos on this site. 3rd party hosted photos often go missing because user deletes, moves files, closes account, or host changes policies or goes out of business. Then the post is useless for any future views or research. There are lots of methods you can use to reduce file sizes to fit restrictions here. Pics over 800 to 1024 pixels wide aren't displayed in full resolution on many device so you don't need 5MB files. Also it takes people on the fringes of the internet sometimes hours to be able to view photos. Be kind to them too!

Looks like a pretty good option versus large presses. https://www.customshapepros.com/accucut-grandemark-2-machine If I had seen this about 10 years ago, I probably would have bought it instead of a large shop press that is at my son's place 60 miles away, not convenient at all! Steel rule dies are usually less expensive too, but may not last as long as heavier dies. Looks like there might be enough room to handle the standard dies too. These are just my impressions based on their web pages.

I have removed mold from vegtan cowhide with liquid saddle soap followed by bleaching with oxalic acid. 1 teaspoon to a pint of clean water. Whether effective for deerskin, maybe test on a small piece first.

We appreciate people not posting 3rd party hosted links as many of them disappear due to changes in hosts' policies, host going out of business, and the person who posted the photos to a 3rd party host moves, deletes, or closes their account resulting in the photos disappearing and leaving a useless post. There are many examples of that problem on this site. Here are a couple for your edification! https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/14658-basic-leather-carving-tutorial/ https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/31601-leatherman-charge-pouch/

Not much chance of being able to buy one, so looks like photocopying or scanning is likely the only way to get a copy now. Worldcat.org finds 7 copies in libraries https://www.worldcat.org/title/making-harness-a-step-by-step-guide/oclc/63175098 https://www.gettextbooks.com/isbn/9780975397206/

Your knife appears to be the same as one I have, purchased from Tandy some years ago. The blade quality is low to start with and doesn't hold an edge very well. Needs touching up frequently. Once you have the blade properly profiled, don't get aggressive with touch ups after.

There are a number of suggestions here. Reduce file sizes to about 1024 pixels wide. There are also a number of applications on the web that you can find also. Since you have lots of photos, I would suggest and application or program that will do batches of files as it will save you a lot of time. The photo above is too small to see any detail.

I suppose that you mean grease rather than Vaseline and that this is just a quirk in translation? Another name for Vaseline is Petroleum Jelly. Not usually used as a lubricant in machinery.

@Scottwb96 Moved your post to leather sewing machines. Here is where the machine guys usually hand out.

Moved your post to leather sewing machines where you are more likely to get some help. Resize your photos or set you phone camera to a smaller file size. See this link for some additional suggestions or helps. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 There are lots more helps available on the web.

Moved your post to "Wanted"

Posting your email address so bots can scrape and find it makes your email address available to people that love to spam you. But have it your way.

I assume you missed a word or two. 'don't know' Scroll to the top of this thread, find the little envelop icon and click/tap it. Type the username in the to line and off you go.

@SUP I have looked up Amazon reviews on a lot of items. In many cases, there are multiple types and models of stuff all being reviewed in one category, so for the most part, the reviews are useless.

@Ndowell82 Please provide your location and any shipping information as per the marketplace rules.

A little info on the Alberta wildfires that have been raging for the past month. Some people from a month ago have been able to return home, many still out. Newest wildfire is in the far NE at Fort Chipewyan (commonly called Fort Chip, the oldest European settlement what is now part of the Province of Alberta (incorporated 1905), during early fur trade days). Fort Chip is only accessible by air or boat this time of year. Winter by air, ice road and dog team.

Pulley on the machine or on the motor?

If you are logged in, which you had to be to post this, everything in this thread is available to you to print, copy, download. Just checked and all works. If you are logged in and still can't download the info you require, there is something wrong with your connection, router, or browser that you will need to fix.

Moved to Leather Sewing machines. Thought there might be some help here for you where the sewing machine guys hangout.
