just for the sake i checked on what fed x would charge and it would seem its more than what the horse would sell for sorry

Good morning,moneys all that. Now if you were to find a set or two more like 2 ? Cast iron vintage,antique cap guns in good shape that work. You might have some thing I might want to trade for. As for the horse the only issue is the peddle on how it attaches has an issue. If we get that far I'll send you some pictures.I'm not sure what shipping will be for something like that.you have a great holiday and see what you can find.

these are the 2 sets want to do the smaller set first how wide do you make your straps 1 1/4 seems about right. other set looks like it had leather as backing ,buts long gone
-
those are new ? mine are a 0-18 peddle bells .the leather is short buckel on one end and no backing leather has S wire . now the other are really old thats 24 bell set that the leather is shot S wiire missing a bell i have a back up . runs from a size 0-14 or a 12 that will be the one i'm trying first. it looks like your using a zipper stop to attach the loops together. about all i'll do with the bells is clean the gunk off them. i'll try and post a pic.

not sure any more call them call montana leather best speed single cap rivets i've ever used. through out 1000's of some others that never set right always left a burr. same as mcphersons in portland brothers
this make any cents
-
have you found what your after? where are you at. have most from the early 70's through till they ended the first time or changed the name plus other patterns .golf bag ect

i'm thinking about replacing the leather on a full set of antique sleigh bells so i'm looking for some where to buy enough strap to put this together . i've looked over how they were done in years past. seem they used 1 1/4 inch harness leather with the square holes spaced about 5--6 inches apart so you'd attach the bell then slide a leather loop which is formed over double thickness. attach another loop till every things where you want it . then take another belt the same width and slide it on the back side through the loops. so what would ber better russet thats been died,, or something else skirting ect

sure looks like a champion curved needle sole sticher . quite heavy i know the landis comes apart so its a lot easier to move . the upper head. the bottom base, annd the middle the pc in the back come apart also if i remember right
depending where you live on finding some one to work on it

rivets ,,,, split ,hollow, speedy , single cap, double cap , copper with a burr so they tell us they all have a job to do. so when do you use what ?
-
as for the table , i have an adler 30-70 that i'm sewing with 138 on a table it came with , it was gone through after i got it by ralph's in denver . i thought i'd just switch heads till that got old then i'd spring for a nother table . you think. i want to sew with a much heavier thread. i have a pretty good idea what i want . just need to find it. saw the machines that sold at whittmans auction. add the drive and not suure of condition.

yrs ago when I use to work at Pedro Luggage , repairing luggage . we used different rivets , split rivets and also and also the two part rivet with the diamond cap. they're more sizes to keep on hand but finish up nicer we use to buy from ohio bag 35 years ago.
-
lol glad that your using the right size rivet for the job
-
iworked in the field for 35 years and only 6 years ago i found out about solvent #2 you can use it to wipe down leather to remove glue and if you don't get to agressive it won'ty stain the leather . we use it to thin the renia regular glue .even on cream cow after the glues gone it would dry and not leave a stain.

I hear the saddle makers are using it some ? Montana leather [ McPherson leather ] says it works.

Antique Spool Cabinet Desk
in How Do I Do That?
Posted · Report reply
I picked up a late 1800's clark spool cabinet with 6 drawers and a leather top desk. I've gotten the vinyl off of it. got it about ready for a new leather top. now I have a nice pc of horse hide I've had for years black thought of using that . or is were there a more suitable leather . I want the leather to be correct for the period . its not like I'm going to use it. every one I see on line uses leather no vinyl also online are the old desks with the gold leaf on the trim. this I don't want. horse hide was used in in the beginning to line stump sockets in BK and AK lower limb prosthetic legs and some arms. thin very strong and soft or am I over thinking this?
