Auto Correct must have got you "dog food issue" for video title! The inner foot and feed dog are moving (feeding) together while this noise occurs. But you say it doesn't when you have the opposite foot on. Is that correct? Are the outside feet the same length? Sounds like it inner foot and feed dog are being highly stressed. Does the hand-wheel become hard to turn during that part of the cycle? The feed dog looks like it is tight against the right side. The sewing machine guys with all the experience should be along soon.

You can take a longer video and post on YouTube and post the link to it here. Might be able to see and understand better. You can show with different foot positions so we can see the difference in behaviour.

You should post this in the "Marketplace" area under "Wanted"

I second the neat-lac. Maybe 3 light coats so it doesn't crack because it is too thick.

Draw the curve using you knife. Keep at least 3/8" wide welt. Need to protect the thread with enough welt.

Increase top tension. If that won't do it, try a larger needle since this is hard / stiff leather. On 8 oz or so veg tan, I've been using #23 needle for 138 thread bottom and 207 top.

Resize your pictures to 800 pixels in the longest dimension. Then you can fit lots of photos and they don't take hours to download for the members on the fringes of the internet, or use up all their phone data! Many screens don't show high res photos anyhow.

Try the finishes (paint) area of your local hardware store. I've found lacquer (real stuff) in spray cans. You can go to automotive suppliers and find automotive lacquer. Some places will load it into spray cans.

Old post - the people in this thread may not be following it anymore.

Please price each machine separately. Pictures would be a help to prospective buyers. Need priced and photos.

So is it sold? If it is I'll archive this thread.

Moved your post to leather sewing machines. This is where the machine guys hang out. Lots better cahnces of getting help you want here.

Do a test. Use a piece of leather from the hide you are going to use for a project. Wet it well with a sponge, or douse it in water, water ever method you want to use to get it fairly moist but not saturated. You can put it into a bag to case so the moisture content equalizes through the thickness of the leather. Some do this, some don't. Lots of options. Set it out to dry until it begins to return to close to normal colour. It should feel cool to your face, means it still has moisture and surface moisture is still evaporating. Use a couple stamps you intend to use. Stamp a small area and start keeping track of the time. Every 5 minutes, stamp a new area and record the time. Keep doing this until the leather is too dry and not stamping to the depth you want or the burnish you want. Pick the best time that had good depth and burnish. Use that, follow the same time for your practice or real projects until you get more of a feel for it. Watch some YouTube videos by Jim Linnell. He does a lot of instructional classes at https://elktracksstudio.com/ He normally wets his pieces using a sponge. The thicker the leather, the more he will apply. Then talks for a bit while the leather absorbs the moisture and equalizes. He will then do some tooling while explaining how and what. As the leather dries, he will sponge some more water on. There are lots of ways of getting where you want to, to be able to get the depth and burnish you want. Lots of arguments / discussions about what people think is the beat and only way. Search for articles and posts by Bob Park.
