I am aware this an apples to oranges question but: I have a line on a PFAFF 545 described in add as follows: PFAFF 545, Walking Foot Sewing Machine Reverse, New 550w Servo Motor, Newer Table Top, Table On Casters To Move Around Easily. Machine Recently tuned and Timed. Great Leather/Heavy Material Machine Can Be Tested, These Machines Were Built Tough!!!!! it is 950 Canadian and local so I can pick up. OR a Pfaff 1295 Post Bed Industrial Sewing Machine in use and excellent shape fro 1800 Canadian OBO.. also local for pick up. I understand that one is very different from the other in terms of table versus post and the 1295 looks like a much heavier duty machine with thicker thread capabilities.... but for the little and rare time I get to make a belt heavier bag etc. (I do my sheaths and holster by hand still) I am wondering which would be the best bang for the buck. I watch Ewe's video on the 1295 and started to fall in love.... but all I have seen on the 545 is impressive too. I can see the post being more versatile for strange seems and hard to get places... the table is cheaper and I am not a big production number guy.... So thoughts, experience, opinions, admonitions....?

Stumbled across some pictures of this guys tools...wow.... does anyone have any experience with him or the tools? I have emails for a catalogue/pricing and a sense of shipping to Canada... likely way to expensive for me at this stage but sure am curious.

ridiculously classy is accurate

And Moto couture you have a friendly looking dog to boot!!

I hope it wasn't in your basement and then you had trouble getting it up the stairs....

Yes that is the drying rack and behind the blue stripped sheet is a book shelf with my wife's many years of photo albums from when one actually did that kind of thing... and often a cat or two.... Come to think of it I am not sure why its covered...may have been before I started organically growing a shop down there....

Farm shop in progress... sewing machine in another area

my home (versus farm) shop is like one fit into a submarine... in the passage between the stairs and laundry area and on wheels so it can pull out to service the furnace.... cozy and almost everything within arms reach... literally. I have a little more space a the farm and am transitioning as I seem to get more bench time there nowadays so am setting it up slowly.. and I don't have the Boss anymore as I am looking for a cylinder arm for the farm to go with the 96K51 I have there.

How are the card pockets attached to each other? stich line at tops? and bottom? hard to tell but curious.

why not asked the guy who made the video via the YouTube comment section?

I have the download Tandy packs I mentioned above. I didn't bother getting them printed full scale as there is an option to print 8.5x11pages and tape them together which worked just fine for me. It is also recommended to send to or use printing house for the full size pages as mentioned so no copy right issues.

Buscadero or drop loop as in the Hollywood western style. a few pattern packs available. Of the ones pictured I have and use the buscadero and 6031 which has served well. both from Tandy.

Nice touch on the card slot design and colours. another classy piece of work.

Nice vintage looking design. I like it.

Classy.

Welcome to this exciting half of your glass. I happen to know there is a good market for well executed badge holder/wallets and especially if you have your connections in corrections and the LEO world.

Love your design and execution. Well done on both. Hand or machine stitching?

Excellent and cant wait to see the rest of its evolution.

really good looking piece of work.

Looks like this should be the first of many..perhaps wrap some leather ariund that pistoli andag next.....

Ya nice lid for sure. Looking forwars to seeing some of your own creations soon.

Agreed on the glue issues. I also think that using bees wax or equivalent "fills" the flesh to help avoid the seem effect. Maybe too late now but as Alpha you could try building up with edge paint/kote... nice punisher and the splatter is an happy accident.

Really well balanced combinations of the soft materials and conchis etc.

where did you get your 1.5 inch punch? it also looks wider than most bag punches...is it custom?

Just wow.... and 2 questions... how do you cut or punch your belt slots?... are you machine stitching?
