I sell some on eBay, etsy, and amazon by far the worst is amazon for fees. 3.99 fees for a 14.99 item. I sold 32 pocket protectors there last month. Here lately it's been 1-2 per day. I don't know if amazon handmade has lower fees though I sell on the regular site.

Juki DDL 555-5 for dog collars and canvas gear
AEMcClain replied to TeriYool's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
A well cared for 206RB will last for decades. Keep it oiled and I doubt a small scale sewer could wear one out. -
Does anyone know of a supplier that stocks bends/double bends of bridle leather in 12 oz? I'm planing to make some single thickness belts and don't have a use for bellies or single shoulders. I don't really have a use for 300 dollar single bends either lol.

Thanks for the video. Just checked the back of the old cowboy, no holes. I guess I'll be drilling and tapping again. On the bright side, cast iron is way easier to drill and tap than tool steel.

Thanks for the link JLS, that's next on my list of upgrades for my cb3200. Can you snap a picture of the back of the machine where it mounts?

Near the end of this month my finances will look much better. I would be in for 10 splits. I operate under big boy rules so no worries there.

I was thinking these might be useful as lining for holsters and slings. I'm not a fan of chrome tanned anything touching a gun.

I ordered mine from flea bay it was 49.99 and free shipping from China. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Suspended-40-Hanging-41-Edge-Guide-For-Industrial-Walking-Foot-Sewing-Machines-GB-6-/152054068381?txnId=1428696631005 it took about two weeks to get here. It came with flat and roller guides two flat head screws and two Allen keys. I upgraded the attachment bolts to m6 grade 8 Allen head bolts.

Hey Mike, It does come with an interchangeable flat guide. It is pretty solid side to side. Ilike the idea of being able to flip it up and having a clear bed, time will tell how effective it is.

I ordered a 49.99 swing up edge guide thinking it would be a bolt on proposition. I probably should have looked at the back of the machine lol. I finally finished up drilling and tapping this evening. I ended up making an adaptor plate as well. How does it look?

Dummy Bullets
AEMcClain replied to AEMcClain's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
The mold is RTV silicone and the casts are alumilite casting resin. I got a kit from the hobby lobby it was like 60 bucks but 40% coupon later it was more reasonable. I think it will come in handy. What Id like to do is find singles of more odd ball rifle rounds to mold up like .458 Winchester, 404 jeffery, 416 rigby ect. For big rifle rounds Iprefer to use two rows of loops on a cartridge slide. I can get pretty close by eye from measured drawings but it isn't perfect. I sure dont want to buy a box of 416 rigby anytime soon just to make a cartridge slide. -
Dummy Bullets
AEMcClain replied to AEMcClain's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
With the proof of concept out of the way, I started on a shotgun set. Molding these things is pretty fun. 12 and 28 pictured waiting on the molds to set up for the 16 and 20. -
I took the notion to cast me some dummy bullets today. I am getting the hang of it now. Im figuring it will allow me to keep a stock of different calibers for making cartridge slides without having to have a bunch of bullets corroding in my junk drawer. I own most of the common calibers, so i figure this technique might be handy for the oddball rifle calibers I occasionally get a cartridge slide request for. What do yall think?

If you find a supplier let me know I could use some.

Holster And Stuff Clicker
AEMcClain replied to Red Cent's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Why do you want to keep the ram? -
I don't mind paying for a manual. I had previously looked at proleptic.com but could not find a manual for the 16.
-
I posted this in the sewing machine section, but I figure Id put it here as well. I am going to be picking up a Landis 16 this weekend, and wanted to know if anyone had a owners manual on pdf they could send me?
