    hi not sure which machine you have ? I'd use D/E size thread in the bobbin its the same as z-69 size. now if its the larger of the 2 bobbins I'd use z-99 on the top. you can buy pre-wound bobbins small bobbin no paper shuttle. larger bobbin use the paper shuttle type . large size sells by the gross and the small by the 1/2 gross they come in 3 colors white ,black ,brown and I have seen a tan years ago. so you still might find it. here in the USA coats is the only one I've found that seems to work. but who knows? since rice was bought out years ago. places like Ralph's industrial sewing machine in Denver caries a lot of thread under there name. hope this helps

    since I've never used Sheridan leather because I lived in Sheridan for 5 years and they had the show in the spring the company never existed . till when ever. I and everyone used Montana leather out of billings Montana . I think you will be pleasantly surprised with their service and their prices. they even deliver if your with in so many miles. after joe retired john picked it up for them. I've used them for nearly 35 years now. when I lived in Montana, Wyoming, south Dakota, and now iowa. they cater to the shoe and boot trade and the saddle makers and everyone inbetween. they are also tied in with McPherson out of seattle i think they are brothers , I even changed our supplier from southern to Montana leather when I got at the last job I had before I retired /

    here's the truth of the matter I won't have my money till after the first if march and I need to see what shipping common carrier will run . my guess is at least 200. if I bought new it would run about 3000 and all the bows and whistles come with it. and if you go any lower ,you'd be better to pay the restocking fee. or have you had it longer than 30 days. its not that I don't want it ,but for any reason I have no one to go back on. so if every thing is true , then is 500 a big enough incentive. . what was the cost to have it shipped to you ?

    Well I've done it one better. I've taken the hinged top off and removed the wooden insert that will be tacked in after its been cleaned of old glue and any cracks have been filled and repaired. Now after the wooden board is replaced its ready for the video. My first question is what type of leather is used and what weight. From looking at the Video it's a fairly stiff leather. What type of leather would you use?

    has anyone here ever tried there hands at this ? Remove the wooden insert sand and glue and resand the insert. tack or toe nail it back in place. some how glue the leather on and try and be neat. I would rather put the leather on the board than set it in the frame. how am I to attach it? I'm just worried that by gluing it after I toe nail the board in, when I cut the leather on the out side edge theirs no way to get in there and burnish the edge. or am I just over thinking? I know what I want to say just not sure how to say it.

    They use to sell what was known as a pegging awl. Don't sell them anymore. I used to do a lot of baseball stitching on round things . The awl I use now is needle in a sewing handle.long tapered and very sharp. Little bees wax on the tip ,less chance of sticking.to the leather.

    when you glue the lining on , stretch the lining from one end to the other. tack it down apply the cement to both surfaces glue together . you want to pull some of the stretch out of the lining leather , it also looks like you've use some belly that has a lot of stretch in it. the dye just makes it easier for the leather to stretch. just a thought ,,,, after you have glued it the belt should curl up some
