I have been making custom knives for awhile and now want to start making sheaths for those knives.
SOO going under the assumption that i will be using 6-8 OZ leather and that on the sharp side of the blade the sheath will have 3 thicknesses. The front and back of the sheath with a spacer in the middle. Total thickness of around .450"
I am looking for a fairly good basic sewing machine that will be up to the task. Doesnt need a bunch of bells and whistes just a good " will do the job" machine.
What would you suggest and why that one. But does anyone know of a good starter machine for sale?? NO i will not go deep into this as a money making job as i am doing this as a way to keep me out of the house and under foot now that i am retired... TOO much time on my hands so this is a keep busy project.
I ran across an old Singer that was said to be a model 3120 that was in great working order but i dont know what, if anything it is capable of doing, in regards to leather sewing
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
