Thread Resurrection Alert! The little box of attachments Wildrose linked anyone got one or know where I can buy them? Thank you. Pyx.

Oh nice work!

Thanks Guys. It is about iteration 8. I got the curves in cardboard first. It is 1.5mm brown waxed leather from Midgelys Cheddar. Called "Crazyjack" I think. The light brown effect on it is caused by the 1/2 hour it took to turn it inside out after sewing. It is machine sewn. I attach a pic of it on my hip and one of a shotgun case I hand stitched because hand stitching is real leather work opps

Thank you all! Great to know where it came from I can start the google thing. P

Fully Lined, not a straight line seam on it. Shaped to hug the hip and to open towards you. My new EDC bag. P

I am more concerned to know If I can buy different "bits" for this. It was given to me by an old friend and I use it to with the "bit" and Tandy type stamps / letters as in the 2nd thumbnail. I would love to set rivets, press studs and lace holes with it but I do not know the make of the machine or where I would begin to search for a the obviously interchangeable "bit." See I do not even know the correct name of it. Dammit. Any help, thank you in advance. P.

I did this with some of my "too small for anything else" offcuts

Thanks GM, I used veg tan for the wet pressed ends. So I had to dye them after I had formed them. The rest was black chemical tanned. P

Bought one, second hand, from a place in Street, Glastonbury: Seiko PWB 8GW, with Mitsubishi servo motor. Very Happy. Thanks for thoughts and help. P Pic of it and my first three practices

My Latest project, finished in time for trip from Bristol UK to Santiago de Compesetla.

Thank you very much everyone. You have helped a lot. I am a hobbyist so I do not want or need whistles and bells. At the moment I am looking for decent 2nd hand Cylinder walking foot. A Singer 153 for instance. Great stuff. If I could figure out how to post pictures I would show you a bit of my stuff. thanks again. P

Hi guys, first post. Long time lurker. Got loads of tips and inspiration from this site so thank you. I mostly hand-stich and have started using a Singer 201k for softer leather bags. I am interested in something a bit more substantial. I recently used industrial machines on a shoe making course (it was very impressive). They had a flat bed and a post. I can not afford both. What are the pros and cons? What are the main uses for both please. Many thanks in advance, Pyxie
