Great tutorial Thanks for sharing the process

Here is another thread that was on presses I think most folks that are more hobby than pro may use an arbor press

5kg weight, not very heavy, depends on the use I guess 16mm stroke, not much space for a setting tool and material under it, but again it would depend on what you are doing with it

That is a great tutorial I stumbled through balancing my stitch length and can see I missed a couple of steps Thanks for taking the time to record that

gottaknow those machine run videos are great. Just amazing how fast they can pull fabric through and continue to humm

I stopped to look because of the thread title, Nice bit of work. Always interested in projects from other areas

Another work of art Serious cabinet grade wood there

You certainly laid it all out there in a complete package How does the stepper motor torque compare to servo motor torque? 3 Nm vs ? With the coding all ready done, and the shopping list, it would not be hard to replicate. If the torques are similar to a servo motor, or better, the costs would rival a servo motor and speed reducer combined to refit a machine.

All was centered before you changed to the new foot, correct? Possibly poor reproduction parts?

I also like geeky stuff. That is pretty cool. I probably don't have the drive to develop anything like that but I do appreciate the function and can see the uses for it

It's looking real good. It is amazing what 1 cog on the timing belt can do, subtle change, dramatic result. That's why I enjoy the search for perfection with these machines, and it is rewarding, at least to me

Any progress report Uwe? I would enjoy a video on the top to bottom shaft timing and the presser foot bar setup I learn so much and it is a good production

Thanks for the offer PM sent

Beautiful piece of art, and quilted with love

Very nice demo Uwe, Thanks for sharing

Google, lace cutter, Tandy has them, as well as many DIY patterns on the web. As far as what tanning method I am at a loss, Some of the materials I have acquired are from many random sources, brain tan and smoked, for period re-enacting. I normally select by feel. for mocs 3.5-7 oz Oil tan would be more water repellent for outdoor wear, other garment tan methods would be softer. Don't overthink it to much, just jump in Much info on Google

Leather type is really up to you, and what may be available. Buffalo, Moose, very durable harder to work with in thicker sizes. Deer, wears faster but double sole on any is a good idea. The sponge inside is just that, you can use none or even make them large enough to accept a boot/shoe insole Lacing is usually the same leather as used for the body http://lureofthenorth.com/product/clothing/footwear/winter-moc-kits/ Thttp://lureofthenorth.com/instructional-booklets/

Great video Uwe It is easier than using just the printed pages Have you made one for stitch length balancing for a Consew with reverse? Thanks TZ

All good and encouraging advice. In Tinkers first post he noted the word "YET" We all start somewhere and hopefully improve our skills with every project I'm not as good at it as others are YET, and may never be an artist, but I can appreciate how good others are, and enjoy the achievements as they happen for me.

Nice work It's nice to have metal fabrication skills, as well as others

Only you can judge how much waste you will have, which can be used for other things. Ordering to little would be my first concern. As for type I have no recomendatioins

Another thank you for being so generous with your skills. And what an inventive idea, wood gussets, detail relief carved would be real neat

Fully agree with this, And I always have bought something or left $$ on the counter before I left, if I couldn't find something I needed

I truly understand the frustration, Though I am only a hobby seamster, with very limited leather experience, When I got into sewing outdoor gear that was not available or affordable about 15 years ago. Repaired, rebuilt and re-timed many home machines and given many away to those less fortunate that wanted to learn to sew. Even a few commercials on the list. If I have to ask a question on a machine I had really tried to find the answer beforehand, and really do appreciate the knowledge that folks on here share. To me there is no excuse for rudeness, or the expectation that someone is "owed" an answer. Right now I am working on my Consew 226, reverse stitch length needs to be more balanced to forward, It will get there. I usually would just stitch forward 3 turn the work around and continue to lock it, but I am sure I can do better
