Probably because it's posted under announcements instead of Machinery -- Sewing and Stitching where it should have been posted. Time to archive it in old/sold.

@dianeinva Please read the marketplace rules and comply. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ Pictures and price required. Shipping info also ie. will you pack and ship, etc.

@Bukra65 @fredk HEIC picture files are an Apple product proprietary picture file format. They did upload, but for members to be able to see the pics, your picture file must be JPG or JPEG (both are the same) format. You can choose on your device as to what you are saving and posting. I have converted the file and uploaded it to a couple of your posts above.

If you never want to remove the awl blade from the handle, add some epoxy before pushing the blade back in.

@TheFatBob Moved your post to leather sewing machines.

I can't remember all the details, but my brother had a shoe repair fellow make a pair of saddle bags for his motorcycle in about 1958. They used sole leather for the back. It extended up past the flap for the bag. That top portion was used to bolt the bag to the cycle. They got pretty fancy with black and white leather for the gussets, flap and straps. Decorated it with a number of spots as well. I believe this was the only set of bags he had made. Finally sold his last bike last year. He hadn't ridden it for several years due to hip surgery and the vagaries of old age and not enough exercise.

Evo160k hasn't been here since 2020, so you aren't going to get any response from them. I'm locking and archiving this thread in old/sold.

I tried a search for several of the words above but got nothing! Even using google with site specific parameters (site:leatherworker.net) didn't find anything. Seems kind of strange. I think I recall seeing your post but have no idea where it went!
