Jay I'm interested but I would like a little more info. Do you want double and stitched? Or just a single layer of leather with stitching on it. Is there any tooling on it or just left plain. Looking at the picture I can't figure out how the buckle is to be attached. What kind of buckle is it. Sorry for all the questions but I'm just trying to get a better idea of what your after. Thanks, Mike

Pat I noticed that black seems to be the worst for me. You may get some stretch from braiding but it won't be near as much as purposely pre stretching a long string or strip. Mike

Pat I don't think I would mess with trying to strectch precut lace. Unless you plan on cutting it down more after stretching to get a uniform string. When I cut strings I cut them wider to allow for the shrinkage due to stretching. I can then cut to my final width. On smaller items like bracelets, hatbands, key fobs , and such I may not stretch the string at all. Especially if its pretty firm. Mike

Excellent work!! Color combinations in both is great. Mike

I'm selling a union lockstitch bobbin winder with the wax pot. It seems to work good everything turns freely. There is a small chip on one side of the bobbin holder. To be honest I dont know anything about this bobbin winder as I dont have a union. I bought it to try and wind some differnt bobbins. I then found a nother way to get that done. So I'm selling it. If ya want more pics let me know and I'll get them to ya. Asking $300.00 obo+ shipping Thanks, Mike

Does anyone know if its possible to build up the point of a shuttle. I just got a extra #6 shuttle but the ends kinda blunt. It still picks up the thread and all. But I'd like to know if anyone has ever had one brazed/welded and then reshaped to the sharp point. I'm thinking 1/16 to maybe 1/8 in length. I only paid .99cent for it on fleabay. And seeing how their over $400 new I'd like to fix this one up if possible. Thanks, Mike

Over stitch wheel has sold. Mike

Trox The 1245 was my first machine I bought. On average most of my sewing runs are 6-10 inches on each side and both ends to sew snaps/buckles on. So I just hand cranked the 1245. On long runs such as belts and headstall pieces I could feather the clutch motor alright. And I was happy as heck with the 1245 even tho I was limited on sewing gussets and such I made it work. But then I got my singer 29k60 and pearson #6 and wow I love how they sound and look. They also seem a little less complicated for me to work out problems on. I'll be honest I just handwheel those two machines also. Because as of now I'm not cordinated enough to use my feet and hands at the same time!!!LOL So I guess I'm looking for a older machine because I like the craftmanship of old machines and I'd be a liar if I said money also wasn't a issue. I'd love to sell my 1245 and buy another machine and have money left over to buy more leather tools!! I guess I'm not busy enough and don't plan on being that busy that I need a fancy smancy machine that will sew like the devil!! Sorry for being so long winded! Mike
