I have the same press but in green. ...i think i posted some pictures way back. You have to turn the round plate to adjust the height...very fine thread so it's a bit of work , but once you set it and use the same dies , you are good. The press is extremly heavy and has to be bolt it down...i have mine bolted to the floor . I also had a Lucris MA III and the green one seems to have more umph The plate's diameter is arounf 11in . Way better option than one of those hydraulic shop presses in my opinion. If it doesn'y have any cracks and everything moves smooth it'll do the job just fine Hope this helps Eddie

Bought a left/center smooth foot set few weeks ago for a 111 type machine. I had to drill a bigger hole in the left foot to make it fit. All good now

Can you please post a more clear picture of the tension discs with the thread ran through?

You need to back stiitch...just cutting the thread and burn the ends is not gonna work. The Jerk (hook)needle does the same stitch as a speedy stitcher or a sewing machine. There is no reason to use a jerk needle on knife sheats or holsters in my opinion

glossy mod pudge, gum trag, and water...nothing beats it. Slick when almost dry

On 2-3oz i usually use an air brush , especially if using an alcohol base dye as i am trying to limit as much as i can the amount of alcohol going into that piece of leather

I can't find those European shoulders on Tandy's web-site , any chance you can post a link?

It looks like Tandy's buckle looks extremely similar at $1.99...but than again , they are not made in the USA like the other suppliers' so i guess the quality is not the same

Is this what you are locking for ? Neat Lac

This one here is very similar

Try the Tan Kote ...it is resin base , not acrylic . Apply it in light coats . It will allow you to apply conditioners down the road if need it

If you are in the "neighborhood" you should drop by...it is worth it . The museum is inside of the store now, very clean and well organized . If you are into leather craving you'll love it ...it is a piece of leather history after all . I am not into carving but still found it interesting

LOL...not a born and raised Canadian ...not a "hokey" guy either

I like the nylon cutting boards but the marks left by the stitching irons tend to have raised edges. When you slide veg-tan on top of them they will leave marks . The puck still has a smooth surface after used .

I just tried a hokey puck the other day . It is firm enough to give me a clean cut on the back of the lather but soft enough not to damage my stitching irons .

MDF board works great.

As of yesterday ,the Mississauga store still had few Tokonole left in stock.... a bit over $13 . It looks like it's gonna be a regular stock item

Nothing that i would sale right now...sorry

Try the Eco-Flo Waterstain Slate Gray. Make sure you shake the bottle , work it in with a sponge , let it dry , buff it and apply some Golden mink oil. It's not a dye but you might get the result you are looking for

Try Bradshaw steel rule dies . They are in Cambridge ON.

Extremely interested

As far as i know there is no such thing as "oil tanned" . Oils are usually added after the tanning process and have nothing to do with the process itself . I am curious to hear other opinions

Just got a bag of 6 of them yesterday from the Mississauga store

Now that it warms up a bit , all those "water based" liquids should be back in stock
