  2. Increase the presser foot pressure probably because the waxed canvas is somewhat slippery.
  3. Moved your post from wanted to the for sale area: Marketplace > Items For Sale > Miscellaneous/Other
  4. Message me and I will give you an email address to send them to.
  5. Moved your post to saddle construction. It helps get you answers if you do a little research to find the various forums that are applicable to your question. People don't know what a ground seat is unless they have worked with saddles or have an interest in someday building a saddle.
  6. I think I recall a post by @CowboyBob about straightening a bent shaft. You can search for it or maybe he will reply here with the info.
  7. I think you mean presser foot bar!
  8. There are lots of posts about the Tippmann Boss. Search them out. From what I recall, most members that have or had them prefer the cast iron version. These machines take a lot of arm/shoulder power. Not good for medical reasons if you have any problems with arm, shoulder and neck. And of course age reduces the muscular strength you will need. Every stitch requires a fairly long stroke. Many of the problems with the Boss are due to not making the full stroke. I know I wouldn't be able to operate these due to neck and shoulder issues.
  9. Many jurisdictions (counties, states, provinces, etc.) have brand books that list the registered brands. Some of these books are available on the web and go back many years. I have found and identified registered brands for my parents, grand parents, and other relatives and friends. Some example links: https://archives.utah.gov/research/digital/brand-books/ https://archive.org/details/utahbrandbook00salt https://archive.org/details/albertasaskatche00albe https://archive.org/details/officiallivestock1970albe Do a google search for the location and brand books and maybe even the year you want. Some libraries have bound copies of local brand books. A few years ago I looked up brands for a friend from Utah. It included sheep ear cuts that were registered. Found a few from her family. Made coasters featuring cattle and horse brands and sheep ear cuts related to ancestors.
  10. English is the language for this forum. Please comply. We are happy to have your input.
  11. Moved to leather machinery.
  12. This is a leather conditioner rather than a sealer. Need a good water based or lacquer based finish. Too thick an application will crack. Most finishes will not stick to wax, grease, oil based treatments.
  13. Really should place sewing machine related questions in the Leather Sewing Machine area. That's where the sewing machine guys hang out. I moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines.
  14. @1hp Please avoid use of webp files. Non-standard, don't show picture automatically. Many members will not download strange files they have no idea if they are safe or not. WEBP files are something google has come up with.
  15. Even the lacquers made for finishing leather crack when applied too thick. Tandy Neatlac was one of them.
  16. To help ensure the person you want to connect with gets a notification, you should either quote the post or part of it like I just did, or tag the member. To tag a member, type the @ symbol followed by the member's screen name and pick the name from the popup box. Like this: @nycnycdesign you have someone interested in your machine.
  17. You need to quote at least part of a post from the member you want to contact, or to tag the user so they are more likely to get a notification. Some members have not properly set their notifications. See, I quoted your post. That helps ensure you will be notified of my response to you. To tag a member, type the @ symbol followed by the member's name and pick the member from the popup list, like this: @TwoCelts You have a query to reply to.
  18. There is a sticky you should have a look at.
  19. You need to quote at least part of a post from the member you want to contact, or to tag the user so they are more likely to get a notification. Some members have not properly set their notifications. See, I quoted your post. That helps ensure you will be notified of my response to you. To tag a member, type the @ symbol followed by the member's name and pick the member from the popup list, like this: @MStreiff You have a query.
  20. You need to quote at least part of a post from the member you want to contact, or to tag the user so they are more likely to get a notification. Some members have not properly set their notifications. AlexFisher hasn't been on this site since Nov 2. See, I quoted your post. That helps ensure you will be notified of my response to you. To tag a member, type the @ symbol followed by the member's name and pick the member from the popup list, like this: @Alexfisher You have a query about your machine. Please update, is it still for sale or has it been sold?
  21. Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. This is where the machine guys hang out and you are more likely to get responses here.
  22. You need to quote or tag the member to be sure they are most likely to get a notification. A quote is just like I did here. To tag a member, type the @ symbol followed by the member's screen name and pick it from the popup box. You do it like this. @JSM and @CowboyBob can you help this person out?
  23. Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. This is where the machine guys hang out and you are most likely to get some help here.
