  1. Maybe https://howardimprinting.com/ Ebay There is a facebook page for Kingsley, have seen it several times but not able to find it today! Who have you tried so we are not duplicating your efforts? Tom
  2. @utah leather Have you read through this thread? https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/25239-the-type-of-sewing-machine-you-need-to-sew-leather/ Tom
  3. Can't always remove distracting backgrounds. Some workshop pictures are even more interesting where we can see some of the tools and other hardware associated with the project. I wouldn't be moving a heavy machine just for a picture. Tom
  4. Full listing of books by Ron Edwards, https://www.ramsskullpress.com/index.php/itemlist/category/7-bushcrafts Tom
  5. Your old digital camera is doing just fine. The rest of improving pictures is practice, same as leatherwork or any other. Composition, lighting, interesting angles, some close ups, etc. Avoid distracting backgrounds if you can, but that is not always possible. Most people here are interested in sewing machines, fixing them, keeping them running, etc. Tom
  6. Have you done a search here for existing threads? Here are 2 that I found in a quick search. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/53981-needle-size-thread-spi-and-leather-weight-rule-of-thumb/?page=2 https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/55351-ideal-stitch-length-for-specific-thread-size/ Tom
  7. @Nikos Moved your post to leather sewing machines. You'll get more help here. Tom
  8. @gtdewbre Moved your post to the marketplace. See instructions here https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ Tom
  9. Keep it in the fridge. Gum Trag is also used in icing and fondants. Tom
  10. Let's get back on topic. Computer drawing software. Tom
  11. Users cannot delete posts. When an item is updated to sold, a moderator moves the thread to old/sold and locks it. Can still be viewed, but no further posts are allowed. So it is now locked and moved. Thanks for the notification. Tom
  12. @Mark842 The machinist will have to turn the piece, then mill the surface similar to how they mill or broach splines. Your splines look like they have about a 5 degree offset or slope. If straight cut will suit you, you may be able to save a couple dollars. It's likely not worth the time to set up a CNC program for a one off. Take the part in with you and tell them you want them to make a new one. Here is a web page that will explain some of what you are looking for. Tom
  13. @Tc1388 Take the belt off and turn the machine by hand to see if it makes any unusual noise. With the power off and the belt off, turn the motor pulley and see what you hear. Try it without pressing the pedal, and with various amounts of pressure on the pedal. When searching for the location of a noise, you can take a short length of garden hose (or similar), put one end against your ear, and move the other end to check locations the noise is coming from. You don't need to press the open end of the hose against the machine, just close to it. It helps to eliminate other noise distractions and home in on the source area. Tom
  14. See this post for info on resizing photos to fit site restrictions. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 Also make sure you have the right file type. jpg is most common., Tom
  15. The rest of us would really like to see the photos too! Please check out this post so you can find how to resize your photos so they fit the size restrictions here. https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 Tom
  16. Photos missing. You may need to resize your photos to fit the site's constraints. Tom
  17. Look at the banner ads at the top of this page. Refresh the page to see more ads. Tom
  18. You're welcome. Appreciate the feedback. I like to help out where I can. Tom
  19. Discussion closed. It has strayed way beyond the OP's question and you guys won't let your personal opinions go. Tom
  20. @Asanka Please read and comply with the instructions and requirements for postings in the marketplace. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ You must list the location, fully describe the condition, etc. Pictures are a great help if you really want to sell it. It is a good idea to put your location in your profile so people know whether you live on Mars or Venus or somewhere else in the galaxy. Tom

    Lot's of people out here! If something gets missed, you can "Report" the item instead of cluttering up another thread. I just happened on this by accident. It isn't guaranteed to catch a moderator's attention. Tom
  22. @TheHollerLW Moved your post to Leather Sewing Machines. You'll get more action here. Tom
  23. https://www.kijiji.ca/b-ontario/skiver/k0l9004?dc=true $3200 and another at $1800 or head only $1390 http://www.techsew.com/machinery/cutting-skiving-machines.html $1554 and up for new machines. Tom
