LOOKING FOR SOME HELP! I have been asked to create a leather fire bucket as a gift. I would like to keep it close to how it would have originally been constructed and i think i have a good idea of how i would like to do it. Any thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated! I am most curious about what type of waterproofing / hardening mixture can be made/ bought that was used in the production of these buckets. I am doing as much research as possible and hope to get some ideas from you guys. Thanks, Kael

I have a Pfaff 1425 for sale. I purchased it with another machine I am currently using and I do not have the need for this one. It sewed when I bought it last year and I have not used it at all. It is taking up space in my shop and I need it out. Accepting reasonable offers. I don't know much about the machine other than it is 220V and has pneumatic driven components. I may also be up for trading for a less complex, 110v flatbed machine. $850 OBO. Located in Central Missouri Thanks

Is there a way to edit my post?

Has the Item been sold? Thanks

I contacted them and the said they put 700 in stock. Thanks for the link!

Are you still getting these buckles?

I attached a few pictures. Where is a good place to get servo motors and anything special I should be looking for? Got both the manuals now thanks!

I recently picked up a Singer 153K103 for a price to good to pass up even though I didn't know anything about it or if it would even work for my projects. A year and a half later I am ready to blow the dust off of it and see if I have anything worth messing with here. First off I see that it has a 3 phase 240V motor that I have nothing to support with. Also I have no manuals or information on it at all. So I am curious to see if anyone out there has any advice or experience with these machines and where I should start. Replacing the motor to 110V? Manuals? Parts availability? Pictures will be added tomorrow. Thanks Kale

I think i have settled on running 277 thread. The machine operates best with this thread size and and a 200 needle combination. I have ran every size thread and every size needle thru it and have adjusted it in every way possible, but now know the machine just seems to like this the best. Thanks for all the help.

The 346 thread wouldn't even pick up or sew one single stitch. I have had the best luck with 415 and actually using a smaller needle than recommended.

I will give the 346 thread a go tomorrow when I get home and see where I can get with that. Anymore tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

I am using the 794 chisel point series needles from tippmann, the size 250 is what is recommended for 415 thread. The needle moves very easily up and down the thread. #27 may be more of what you are familiar with?

Yes I am
