  1. Rail system sounds good. Is that a belt hole punch guide?
  2. The hand wheel on my consew 206 turns easily without the pedal

  4. Arthur Porter youtube
  5. Otaypanky thanks for posting
  6. thanks for kick starting this thread
  7. I like the strap sliders/hardware from Buckleguy.com several sizes and finishes
  8. that's a good lookin,Husky belt 20oz. heavy stitch looks great. how you do the skive at the buckle fold?
  9. What I have been doing is bury the needle raise the pressure foot, take a look , start the Next stitch, using the reverse do a 1/2 stitch if needed moving the needle instead of the leather, which works But the technique above gives a clearer view of needle position
  10. Thanks, I learned something new from your vid. Trying to explain. I have had some difficulty when sewing around the English point belt end. Your techniques showed me I can raise the feet BEDORE BURYING THE NEEDLE, giving me a view WHERE I AM, with the the need close checking the needle position, adjusting /moving the leather as needed, then set the needle hope this makes sense.
  11. Soooooo COOL
  12. when I first got my Consew 206 with a clutch, it took me some time to get control but now I can go as slow or fast as I want. my start point is pushing the pedal just enough to hear the motor anf feel it wants to go, then push a little more GO. (pop the clutch in the VW beetle)
  13. I like the way you attached the D rings keepers to the bag.... split, keeper inserted then top stitched to the bag = clean look good looking bag
  14. Thanx for helpful info
  15. resolene = glossy
  16. lookn good how does the Van Halen strap attach to guitar? spring clip thingy
  17. you be back sewing soon
  18. my experience on my Consew 206 rb5, sometimes the foot leaves a foot print regardless of how I adjust pressure. can rub a lot of that out. I have got the habit to use the hand wheel give the machine a kick start after stopping. sews great what RB model do you have?
  19. I got a die holder for my tandy press from black river lazer Allows me to chuck in the tandy mini punch kit that has the 6 punch sizes. Works great punching sizing holes, screw and rivet holes. The Gold Star hole punch is not right for leather work unless they got one recently.
  20. Gold star press ( and pricey tandy) requires a set of dies for each size rivet or snap. I have 8mm for the small rivets, 9 mm die set for med to large rivet. Dies for each line 20 and line 24 snaps
  21. I sew leather and waxed canvas with my consew 206 RB5 no problem.
