@MissyLee If you can't comply with the rules, price your items, etc., I'll lock and move your post to old/sold.

Bolo clip plus a slider for jacket/hood cords. The cord here is cheap Tandy 3/32" lace, 4 strand round braid with no core. Just a trial experiment! The bolo clip tears up the lace when it is slid to adjust the length. Does it on Tandy's cord too! The clamp is not easy to quickly open and close, so your clients wouldn't like that either. The cord sliders I got were from a few years ago, from Mountain Equipment Coop (https://www.mec.ca/en/) I can't find them easily this morning. They are not wide enough for 2 cords, so have to use 2, one on each string. Clamp open Clamp Closed Face for concho

I'll dig one out and take a couple photos for you. The 6mm cord fits the tips, just glue them in. Or tie a knot in the end instead and glue the tips so they don't unravel. Seems to me they have both leather and vinyl cords.

Tandy has bolo tie parts https://tandyleather.ca/products/concho-bolo-slide-clip?_pos=3&_sid=2d924ee8b&_ss=r String diameter is limited. Lots of conchos, only fit on one side, clip compresses to lock the cord, not great for purses.

See this thread for several helps and suggestions.

@Outlaw68 You really need to post some pictures as has been noted in previous posts so people can see the saddle. Very hard to get a true impression from just text. It has been said many times that a picture is worth a thousand words. That really applies here.

@CHT Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You'll get more response here.

Not correct. 550 foot lbs force expended for 1 second is 1 HP. Equivalent to 747.7 Watts. Both are terms of power. You are also mixing imperial/US measurements with metric units. Usually best to stay with one system, or list both systems to help reduce confusion rather than swapping back and forth. Most leatherworkers are not concerned with running stitchers at high speeds, rather they are concerned with starting torque at low speeds, and being able to continue the stitch line at low speeds. Obviously a more powerful motor will be able to provide greater starting torque and that is what is required for stitching thick and/or hard temper leathers. After several trials, many users will go with both a good servo motor, and a speed reduction pulley set to handle these situations. I see this is your first post here. Welcome to the forum. Lots of information and help is available here, and of course all members new or old contribute to that.

Nice Job Stewart. The barn reminded me that my grandfather used to build hip-roofed barns in the early 1900s.

Please post the photos here. For some helps and suggestions, see this thread. Many users will not go to outside links, and 3rd party hosted photos often disappear due to changes in hosts' permissions, originators deleting or moving files, or host going out of business. Then the thread or post becomes useless to the community in the future. You can set the size of the files your photos are saved on your phone with most current smart phones.

You need to resize and post your pictures here. See this thread for helps and suggestions.

It might help to show a picture of the inside of the cover too to see best way of attaching a 'patch' or 'plate'.

I was wondering about that, but you had to be signed in to post, so I thought, has to be something else! Strange things we do sometimes without realizing it. Have a great day!

This zip file works just fine. It is located on the LW server. You need to check what's wrong on your end. I just downloaded it to check that it hadn't been corrupted. I assume you are using the post just a few above this one and not some old post. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/46571-medievalrenaissancefantasy-pattern-pack/?do=findComment&comment=676155 If you aren't using this one, you need to.

Zip file here downloads just fine. If you are trying to use the RAR files, you need to know a lot more to be able to use them. They are posted a few times throughout this thread if you take the time to scroll through the thread.

Some suggestions and helps for resizing photos in this post. Really nice job.

Thank you! We appreciate compliments now and then. To all leather workers out there, have a great day, hopefully every day, but I know better. Some days are much better than others.

New speed will be 89% of the original speed. I doubt you will really notice much difference.
