Use something besides leather for the soles. I see people using soles cut from tires.

I moved your post yesterday to leather sewing machines. As I said, it is the best place for you to get help and references to others that might be in your area. Work with the fellows there, and ask if they know someone that is closer to you.

@jaygeo2020 Moved to leather sewing machines. You'll get more input here than in help wanted. Help wanted all posts have to be approved by a moderator before members can see them.

Looks good, and interesting possibilities.

1680 x 1050 and smaller is the resolution of many computer screens (unless you are doing high res photos or some gaming systems). And of course many people are using smart phones and tablets with even smaller resolution. FYI: With your portrait photo showing the post bed, resized to 1680 pixels high produced a medium resolution jpeg of 131KB. Lots of room for many photos and able to stay within the limits. Thanks for posting here with your next photo. It is much appreciated by members, and especially in the future if any permissions, etc. are changed. Also good for those living in the fringes of the internet. Don't have to wait 2 hours for a photo to download.

Please post photos here instead of linking to 3rd party hosting sites. Any changes in permissions, moving files, deleting, host out of business result in making the thread useless in the future.

This type of swivel knife was sold by Tandy in the 1960s. I have one with a plastic handle. Never really had any success with it so stayed with typical swivel knives.

If you can put these back together with photos, or as a PDF, it would be most appreciated by many. If you can assemble the PDF, we can arrange to email it to me so I can post it here. You can message me and I can give you an email we can use. Thanks.

This is a prime example of why photos should be sized to fit and posted here on leatherworker.net

Moved to Leather Sewing Machines.

That is not a problem. Just want to get you into the right place to get the help you are looking for. This forum "Leather Sewing Machines" has a pinned post about what sewing machine do I need, and several others with good information for you. The point you have narrowed down to, you have 2 very similar machines. The closest dealer to you is probably your best bet for purchase and any ongoing assistance you might require. I think you will get a few more posts along this line too.

Fiebings deglazer might take some off, but won't look great. I'd consider making it a full black saddle now.

Resize and post here. Lots of members aren't to thrilled with having to join or use social media type stuff. Maybe we're just too stffy!
