Very nice work Tim. What are you using for the interior leather? Both those fellas will be happy with these items no matter which one they pick. Jim

This looks like a standard round braid, modified the go thru the holes one time. Some of the big gun braiders on this forum would know.

I compared it to some mexican round braid that I use. This one looks like it has one more braid. Are you going thru each hole one time or two. How far apart are you spacing your lacing holes? Round braid takes about the same amount of lace. Can you post a photo of the sides of the piece? thanks for posting this one. Jim

I have an oppurtunity to purchase 1928 Singer 66 floor model. I have a Singer 29-4, however, I am interested to know if the 66 would be of any value in the shop. I do not use these machines a lot but would like to do more with them on thinner projects. Thanks for your input. Jim.

I started using this product this spring. I pour some into a jar then use a dauber to put it on. You have to be carefull putting it on so that it is all even as the leather absorbs it differently according to its grain. However I have had good luck with it and my edges have improved using it. Picked the product up this spring at a Tandy store in the Twin Cities as they were out of the bar soap. Decided to use it up for a pilot test. Over all I like the product it creates a smooth edge.

I have used numerous kinds of water based contact cement over the years, for countertops, doorskins, leather. They all seem to work fine. Re skining doors in a hospital was a good test. The product spread well with rollers and brushes, and smell was maybe 10 to 20 % of the other products. Used it on my last countertop rebuild in my kitchen as well. worked fine and holding well after 4 yrs use. I have tried different products, what ever is avail that meets the requirements. No issues with it so far. If it is local I would try the 3M brand. Likley cheaper than driving an hour round trip plus the fuel.

pete, i went thru a bunch of stuff that i got from a teacher. there is a hollow ground 1/4 in straight blade in there, in a barrel. i do not kinow the quailty but you can have it if you want it. i would need your address.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, Thats a good one. Did you know you really can build a holster upside down and backwards? It looked great on the bench. When I tried to put it on to test it. I found out that you can't put it on no how. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. The only thing that I did right was the molding---I think---Better check. Ha Ha Ha Ha. Thanks for the recipe Dwight. If i can get my wife to stop laughing maybe i can get her to bake one for me. Ha Ha Ha Ha. Jim

I could use it as well. I am at cardl869@gmail.com. Or just post it here for those who would like a copy.

Karen, I went to your site from the link above. No problems at all. Nice site, Nice work as well. Good luck with your new site.

Very nice. I contacted a local dealer. She asked what I was using it for. When I explained. She wanted to trade me for a new holster for for her hand gun. I may be able to trade with her for more in the future when I complete my new shop.

I use cheap craft paint brushes for weldwood or laminate type glues. About a # 2 I cut the end square with my serrated scissors so it holds the bristles . this gives me a glue line about 1/8 - 3/16, as mentioned above take your time it will work out. don't throw the brush away. It will get hard when it drys, however it will turn soft again when you use it again. just flatten the tip and let it dry. Brush last a long time.

Johanna, Does the site include the domain in the 75.00 per year. If you pick up the site. What domain company do you use? Thank you. Jim Parent, jprnt@hotmail.com.
