Juki 1541 vs 1508NH for my needs? I’m overwhelmed!
dfrensdorff replied to OliviaNewbie's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Good choice … you will never regret it! You have one of the best flatbed industrial machines made. -
Juki 1541 vs 1508NH for my needs? I’m overwhelmed!
dfrensdorff replied to OliviaNewbie's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I have the 1508 NH. I sew primary leather, but occasionally I’ll sew some waxed canvas. Getting the tension correct is a bit of a challenge on thinner material, but not insurmountable. If you get the 1508, you’ll never need another heavy duty industrial flatbed. -
Thank you

Thank you …. The pattern is from Cow Camp Saddlery and Mark Barcus.

Thank you all for the kind comments!

How to switch juki 1508nh to 135x17 needles
dfrensdorff replied to Theworks001's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I have this same machine, and changed to the 135x17 needle system several years ago. I used Bob’s instructions and it worked perfectly .. very easy to do. -
@MHeaps … ok. Thanks for letting me know.
-
@MHeaps it’s available … sale fell through
-
@MHeaps you are correct .. my customer is coming to No Nevada from Arizona. He is planning on coming next week …we have had a fair amount of weather …. if it falls through, I have a list of those interested, and you are on that list.
-
@Hobbit1Leatherworks …. I’ve got a deposit on it and it may be sold, but if it falls through, I will contact you.

Beautiful ! … What topcoat do you use after dye?
-

-

I wasn’t needing it , as I have a Juki 1508, but this showed up locally and I couldn’t pass it up. Unbelievable original condition, with original manuals and cover. Has a newer Consew Servo. I got it home, installed a new needle, set it up for 138 thread, and it was smooth and stitched perfectly …. I’ll use it as a back up, or to just look at!

Thank you, and no, I did not make the buckle. It was made by Sheridan Buckle Co. It was brought to me by the owner to have the belt made. Thank you … Practice, proper casing, and a good stamp are important … I use Barry King stamps.
-
It was dyed with Fiebings dark brown … after it was dry, Neatsfoot oil, then after that was dry, tan kote.
-
Thanks guys …

Just off the bench … custom hand stamped Basketweave belt made to go with a custom buckle. Hermann Oak skirting w/ burgundy latigo lining.

I’m testing the waters of selling my Techsew 5100. It is the set-up with the needle positioning, laser light, and edge guide. Very few hours, and when I’ve needed it, it has performed flawlessly. I’m in No. Nevada, and I will not ship, but may help with transport in No. Cal. $2900.

Thank you ... I found it on Buckleguy. Swivel Chain Connector w/ Screw
-
Hello all ... what do you call this attachment that is on the wallet the the chain gets attached to? I’ve looked on buckleguy and can’t seem to find it. Thanks in advance.
