I need to stop looking at Kijiji. This popped up for $250 CDN and was used for years by an older lady who was a leather worker when she was younger and she held on to it. It went to her caregiver whose son posted it for sale. He said he was glad to sell it to someone who would actually use it and not put plants on it. Needs some clean up but was operating when she stopped using it and it has just sat collecting dust and rust. Another old machine with a story behind it. I like that idea. Just like my others... well one other doesn't have an oldie thyme story just a lucky findy story. I will take the old motor monkey business off and I have a signer treadle set that I can us to convers it back to treadle. The I will need to learn what the old cobbler up the street used to call the "click click" Any help again with the xx part of 29Kxx? NOW I stop...... no more room in this shop....

Not my sale and not affilliated with vendor just passing on... On Dixie Rd in Mississauga Just went up on.Kijiji. shop closing. 3 machines same model different vintages Look like servo but vendor says they are wired 22Ov Wish i needed one.....

I was wondering the same about movement but it is made fro working on dirt bikes so I don't thing you would want that wobbling around on you at almost 3 feet of the ground.... And yes this are nice work tables.. maybe look for something second hand.... thanks for the feedback.

folks the original stand I was looking at for my Pearson is becoming less attractive for various reasons and I wondered what other thought of mounting it on this? May not be stable enough? Material Steel construction Lifting Capacity 300 lb Max. Lifting Height 34-1/4 in. Min. Lifting Height 13-3/4 in. Lift Range 13-3/4 to 34-1/4 in. Platform Dimensions 13-3/4 x 16-1/8 in.

Amen to that... for me its this and getting some horses on the land... and a little travel.

funny thing is that when I retire.. I will get to do more leather work!!! for a few years anyhow and if God needs me to.

.... and as long as you keep the checks coming I will keep being good to you! Seriously - in as much as there isn't really the history or culture of leather work - particularly in the east from where I can speak - I haven't been exposed to some of the ones mentioned other than briefly or by any reference on this site - but I do have to agree that I derive great inspiration from all the contributors here - even when I may have technical or stylistic differences - I was taught t that everyman is my teacher and some tech me what to do and some teach me what not to do! - I think I am a "not to do" teacher in most cases... even if just to myself. "oops wont to that again - if I remember not to". I do have to say Stohlman is the only "name" from the past I have taken vast and direct guidance from as far as the past masters go.... for present day ... whoever "Purdy Gear" is (not here I don't think but has a site - they don't put their makers mark front and centre so I have never been able to read it) and J Costanza from Boulder City have always been makers I have aspired after for the more historical work - modern personal carry almost any of you here!

Thanks and good idea.

Picked this beast up for 50 cdn bucks. Manufatured by Williams and marked No.0 and tagged 77 on brass plate. Has an adaptor in place to drive a punch die that can be removed. Ram is drilled and has set screw so lots of possibilities. Made to be operated sitting. I think J.H Williams &Co. But cant google up anything on it. Needs a sand blast and paint and grease job... someday... Any more info from the machinery history crowd?

I will PM soon thanks.

would you ship to Ontario Canada?

Very nice work and thanks for thw video. What glue are you using?

All good reference material. Well done. There is also "Holsters for combat and concealment carry" by RK Campbell.

Please share your winder plans! And welcome fellow Pearsonian.

"Son of Ashman" - Well done and I love the touch of using the camo around the concho... consider it stolen!

here is a link to the bio of Arvo Ajala who was instrumental in the evolution to the Hollywood quick draw style of rig. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvo_Ojala Here is a link to a makers sight (not an endorsement though it is nice stuff!) and a good summary of western holster evolution. https://www.cochiseleather.com/western-gun-leather-history.aspx

Crap another dangerous web site with cool stuff! Thanks though.

Thanks Gord... jsut saw another complete with stand that looks like it nevere had the pedal option just the crank. Wish I lived in western Canada where they all seem to come up for sale. I like the top photo above of the one with the invisible frame!

These are the only photos as it is an add but the vendor says "yes it has an industrial motor attached and a variable speed foot pedal"..... too far away for me to go see but man it caught my attention with all its uniqueness.

Here is the stand I am looking at getting. It is missing the treadle 'eccentric' wheel I believe its called and the attachment mechanism for the needle bar lift pedal on the right. Can someone who has a complete set up send me some pictures of the assemblies and attachment to the frame etc? I so I can A) keep an eye out (dream) or B ) perhaps use something off another treadle machine and MacGyver something with other vintage parts. Thanks in advance. Murray. PS almost ready to lower it down to the stair to the basement and uncrate the head!

This is a fascinating machine. advertised as hand crank singer but the treadle still has a belt AND it look like there is motor attached somehow...I think thats what the power cord is for unless the motor is just stuck in the picture? cant really tell and it seems like the power cord is tie wrapped to the machine neck? anyhow assuming the motor is not a part of the set up this looks like a fascinating machine. What is it? what can it handle? looks heavier duty than a patcher?.

Hi there, I have a saddle I am going to refresh and wonder where to get oak tanned shearling in Canada, and if possible Ontario or close by...other than Tandy. Any help from the Canadian makers? Thanks in advance. Murray

Thanks and ya its a tried and true approach for military folks who work seated such the tank crews (hence tanker if course) and pilots of both planes and helicopters. Used a lot for field and hunting holsters in the civilian world. It was a good build and turned out as i planned for once!

I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Ya more room than my house... drool.... now filler up!!!
