    Great job. Do you have a die for the gloves?

    280 Older Craftools plus great block holder. I plan to post these on eBay on the weekend but if anyone wants to pick them up now, great.242 Craftool Co USA, 36 Craftool Co, 2 with numbers only plus a few spots for some of your current tools. Most of the tools are color coded. Slight rust and wear but otherwise in good shape. $850 OBO including shipping to continental USA. Paypal is probably best. Questions? Thank you. Pictures are in my gallery page unless I can link them here....

    Welcome and good luck with your endeavor.

    You can also add a speed reducer to the servo motor and improve the power to punch through.

    Congrats on your good deal. Google for a singer parts manual for that model and you will find out if that fits or not. Have fun with it.

    I cannot answer about the rubber but I can tell you I normally use a very thick piece of veggie tan to do the job. Just be sure to face the crystal down into the leather.

    Most older and a lot of newer sewing machines come with clutch motors and go very fast. For leather, it is easier to sew more precisely with a servo motor since you can turn down the speed significantly. Industrial sewing machines are really 3 components, a table, the sewing head and a motor and can all be swapped out. Look on YouTube for videos of sewing with a servo.

    I am certainly not a sewing machine expert and there are a lot of variables to what you do and of course budget makes a big difference but for used , a singer 111w155 or consew 206rb are popular. The consew has reverse and a larger bobbin. You will also want a servo motor to slow it down. For new, contact the vendors advertising at the top of the page.

    Welcome, you will find beautiful things here...

    yes, I use a manual arbor press from harbor freight.

    So it looks like a home made version/adaptation of a speed reducer. A for effort.
  21. Wishful
    Looks good, I bet he'll love it.
  22. Wishful
    where are you located and what is your budget?
