Is the color called Robin Hood Green?

All of needles are steel. All of them are chrome-plated. Those known as titanium simply have an extra coat of titanium nitride over the chrome.

With insurance? It's amazing because that's how much it would cost me to get them across Canada.

Then you have to make a matching pair.

Nope, I am not saying that. I am just guessing that it is a regular solvent. Find their MSDS. In the first aid section they have to disclose any of harmful chemicals, and all of the solvents are luckily harmful. So you will know what the damn brew consists of. If you ask them, they have to give you an MSDS. If they refuse, shop elsewhere.

Take the unit's measurements and improvise its model out of a 2x4.

I use a press instead. No hammering.

Find an MSDS. If it says toluene or xylene, methyl-ethyl-ketone, methanol etc. then it is a regular solvent. There is no magic, and it is unlikely they use something extraordinary.

Thread Exchange is in the US, and that explains exorbitant shipping. Besides that their quality of orders (not of the products) is on and off. I have ordered from them, in the past, and gotten wrong threads. After a short back and forth, in which the onus of convincing them that the shipped thread was totally wrong in color, they got their pants in the knot. What begins on a wrong footing, has to end right away. Haven't been ordering from them since. There are too many other sources. And if you are ordering with USPS delivery option, then the last mile will still be Australia post. I scavenge every factory close-out sale, and I got tons of thread for dirt-cheap, that way. See if you can do that.

The condition of your bottom thread surprises me. Why is it so unspun? Try a different thread, just for giggles.

That is a lot of holster for so little of a gun.

I did not know it is called Rodesian type. Thought that Rodesian style was SDAF canvas flapped holster. Thanks for teaching me a thing. Brings sad memories.

It almost begs for a tie-down strap at the bottom corner. Otherwise, top-notch, as all of your designs are.

When machines run out of adjustment, look into mismatched parts. People do it, to cut costs by a few pennies. There are cheap bastards out there that you would not believe exist. So, check if all of the parts are really Pfaff and really 345. Something could have been broken and grinded or machined as well.

The boot is unlikely the wife's.

Easily the best one I've ever seen.

Love the rig and the smile on the face of the little gentleman.

Argh! That lift... Sorry, I thought the total foot lift. Ignore my previous comment.

The lift of 1/16 is wrong. You should see at least 1/2" with the hand lever and more with the foot pedal/knee press.

Ditto. $400 will not buy you a holster machine unless your luck is such that you stumble across a barn find or estate sale in which there are not too many bidders.

The product link does not really tell me what kind of thread it is. Saying polyamid is almost like saying polymer. It can Nylon, can be Kevlar. You probably asked for a strong thread, and the dealer sold you their's strongest and most expen$ive. It is a specialty thread, and it may require machine tuning. Since ends are not fraying it looks bonded, so it's pretty stiff. Play with tension: increase, decrease, extra turn around guides, one less turn around guides, etc.

Wasn't sure if it was that or suspenders

Does it not lift with the gun when you try to pull it out?

You are wasting so much filament. Much of what you are 3D printing only really needs about 1/2 of its present strength. I know: it is tough. I usually overdo it with my designs and have to push myself to scale thicknesses down.

We just had a thread where a fellow from Norway if I remember correctly used a similar thread with very fast twist like yours, and he was having problems. What brand/type/material thread is it? Is it advertised for leather?
