  1. Hello.

    The link warning issue has been fixed so I wonder if you'd be so kind as to remove the warning screenshot from your post on my thread (in that it might scare people off from clicking my link.) Thank you so much

      Hi Jim, yes of course. Even thought I just quoted the the person who posted the warning. Unfortunately I didn't remove the image on my quote.

      Now I need to find out how to remove my comment. If I can't, I'll contact one of the forum's admin. to remove my comment, don't worry.

      I follow you channel almost since I began leatherwork, and I never had any problem with your links ;)

      Anytime :) And maybe you could ask the other member who posted the screenshot to remove it.

       

  2. Hello.
    The link warning issue has been cleared up now so I wondered if you'd be so kind as to remove warning screenshot lest anyone is put off from trusting my site. Thank you so much.

      Well I'd be glad to if there was an edit or delete button/link somewhere. Looked in the post and in my attachments page, nothing.

      Ahh, OK, thank you for trying. Please have a good day.

  3. OK. Customer service at Jimdo are looking into it. Hopefully they will clear things up. Thanks all.
  4. Hmmmm. Yeah, Jimdo is a free (and popular) blogger site that I've used without issue for years. I can't comment on the warning that popped up; just to say that I'm running Avast on Firefox and don't get any warnings like that. I wonder what I can do about it. Thanks anyway. In the meantime, I've attached the .PDF here in case anyone is wary about my link. guitarStrap.pdf
  5. Hi. Well I have no idea what that is about but thanks for telling me. One is a link to Youtube which everybody uses and the other is just my blog.... I don't think there are any issues my end if that helps.
  6. https://youtu.be/rg8WzV7-1dU @Grumpymann I made a video showing how I made this backpack. I show how I make the straps. This one is kangaroo leather.
  7. Hi. I use new seatbelt webbing for the straps. I just made a couple of leather tubes (28cm) to enclose the webbing and some foam padding. V. simple.
  8. A 34 year old French made (Furygan) leather racing suit gets a new life as a contemporary style 20 litre rucksack. This was a collaborative design with my facebook followers.
  9. Anyone want to chime in about Mustang paste on coated leather?
  10. I know I can't be the only person doing this. So who do you know who is? I'd like to ask about treating the leather. The material I get is finished leather (kinda plastic). I contacted the makers and they suggested expensive Mustang paste. Does that sound right?
  11. About a hundred US dollars. Possibly about a tenth of the original price, I don't really know. Yes, I gave my followers a choice of suits and this is the one they chose. I plan to make another one soon, a smaller one. Thank you for dropping by. Jim
  12. Should anyone have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear from you. Peace.
  13. Hi Jim, yeah, it's common practice to just trim off what you don't want. I also glue down any fuzzy ends. I always used to try and buy the exact length I needed but it seems it is not totally necessary.
  14. Well, I live in Japan so it certainly is 'Japanese style'; yes, the floating style is Japanese I think.
  15. Hey thanks. I'm encouraged by your words. I will check out tboyce's pattern too.
  16. Couldn't find resources I was looking for so I made my own and thought I'd share it. Hope it helps someone. Long Wallet Templates.pdf
  17. OK. So I just slid the cover off and I see these screws. Before I do something I might regret, do you suppose I could adjust the height of the dogs? Thanks.
  18. Excellent information, thank you. I will check out those links and think on. What would be required to grind the teeth? I have a dremel I guess I'd have to do some dismantling. Anyone got a pic how smooth I should be aiming for?
  19. I am new to sewing machines and I recently got a Seiko LCW-8BL. It is great! But I was wondering if it is possible to reduce the marking of the (veg tan) leather on the underside? Here is a phone cover I just made. Thank you. Jim
  20. Thanks guys. Yeah that site you linked me to 276ccm was the only one I could find with this model. I was hoping it was a clone of something readily available. I guess I could be out of luck.
  21. I've seen this come up here in Japan but I can't find out much about it. As a sewing machine beginner I am hoping it is a clone of something I can get a manual for and access parts should I need them. Any clues?
