...I have not got 6218 on the Pearson Register. May I have name and location please. Just out of interest, I have 6280 belonging to Gerry Johnstone from Christchurch, New Zealand

Always looking for machines to add to 'The Pearson Register'.

Please advise when sold as I wish to add this machine to the 'PEARSON HM6 GROUP' on Facebook. I have a 'Register' there of machines from all over the world.

For CONSTABULARY.......this note has nothing to do with the above, but is seems the only way I can contact you. I read in one of your posts that you had a manual on the BUSM A1 machine. I was hoping you may let me have a copy of this. I have an A1 which I restored....have also a BUSM HM6. My email is: petergmain AT msn DOT com.....or find me on Facebook:.....https://www.facebook.com/peter.main.96. I have just started a page on Facebook:....Pearson HM6 Group. I thank you, Peter

....perhaps this idea may be of some help to those doing edge binding. ...I have much edge binding to do. The binding material came wrapped around some card...I needed a way to feed the binding tape to the binder attachment on my machine. So, I used a 'lazy susan', some card and a cap and made this turntable. It rotates freely and works perfectly...there is one hundred feet of binding tape on this device.

...I remade the timber table for the HM6 from Cedar. Shall do photos of the A1 winder when I have a moment spare.

....I love my Pearson. I have rebuilt another three of these in years gone by.

...sadly, my A1 did not have clear decoration so I just winged it with a few pinstripes after restoration. I added a handle to the flywheel. The stand still needs my attention.

....just saw this posting....the images from Moore Leather for the HM6 manuals seem no longer available. I would love to have copies of these. I love my Pearson. Peter

Merry Christmas to all

...have just found out that a member has posted a link on Leatherworker.net to a blog about me...I think this was done late Sunday/early Monday. Have not found it, but am told it is far from nice, and should not be out there. Can you find it and remove that member please. Many thanks, Peter Name: Peter Main UserName: PeterMain IP Address: 99.89.60.49 Email Address: petergmain@msn.com

...just opened another box from my shipment from Australia last year...was like a trip down memory lane. Here are some handbags I made many years ago...they all need a good clean as I see mildew has set in on a couple. I don't think I would like to do all that hand sewing today.

...I will definitely have a new card for 2012

Christmas Greetings to all

...should be able to post completed boots early October

"May I ask a question and feel free to ignore it. Is there some reason Peter doesn't post here? I am buying his books on coloring leather and in the course of correspondence I mentioned this forum. He didn't reply concerning my invitation to post here. I sense that there is some kind of tension there and I don't want to bring up any worms but am curious". ...of course you may ask John, you are not to be ignored. There is no reason for me not to post here...am sorry that I did not respond to your invitation. There certainly is no tension here, or there. I thank my friend Marlon for passing on things that I send to him, Peter

Hello Karl,...I rebuilt this machine over twenty years ago...I photographed it from every angle, dismantled it and had the main parts sandblasted...then etch, undercoat and I sprayed two coats of black auto enamel. Many hours were spent with a dagger doing all the pinstriping. I had some parts re-made and all works like new. I intend to have this machine shipped here from Australia, along with another BUSM machine...a smaller one called an 'A1'. I was fortunate enough to find a 'table' attachment...I re-made the timber from cedar.PeterHello Karl,...I may have a winder amongst my parts that will be coming over...please email me in the New Year to remind me to look for it.Peter

...thought you may wish to see my Pearson...with winder. I have rebuilt four of these machines over the years. I have this machine tuned to sew from 2-3oz leather upwards.
