I'm with Ferg on this I never asked for admittance to that area but I still see the posts on 'All activity' and 'Unread content'

All's Quiet On The Western Front - now I keep two windows open; one for All Activity and one for Unread Content The Unread Content page wanted me to log in again, Nae Prob. But when I did I got a screen with a message saying 'Ooops! Try Again' BUT the All Activity page just worked as normal All's Well that Ends Well

Some times, the items made in China/Vietnam/Taiwan et cetera are for the named company but the second- or third - quality items, the ones that don't get through the quality inspection, are sold off cheap to the seller on ebay and TEMU

Its not completely fixed

Sorry to hear you broke a wing As chuck says; read books Eventually as the break heals you may get the use of your fingers again and you can do some sewing using a stitching clamp to hold the work

I recently came across a link placed on this site for a well known German book on saddlery and tack in ebook/PDF form I'll try to find it again

I agree with wot he said

Could you not have the customer bring the gun to you and then make a pattern from it whilst he/she is there?

@Sheilajeanne The machine has ' Bentalls Kingston on Thames ' which was a big department store in the south of England. So far I've not found a maker's name on it I can't decipher this on the front of the arm

Here is how I'd do the repair; Drill out the screw hole to about 1/2 inch Cut a plug that size, or very slightly larger, from hardwood, across the grain Apply resin glue to the plug hole and hammer the plug in Cut a piece of metal about 2 inches long by 3/4 inch wide Drill 3 holes in the metal, along the length, 1 in the middle and 1 at each end. Make the holes just big enuff for screws to clear Place the metal over the plug. Centre it. Screw in screws of at least 1 inch length in the ends and drill a hole in the plug for your fitting If the metal can be on the surface use round head screws. If the metal has to be flush. chip out the area for the metal to be recessed and use counter-sunk screws

Oh, that is really superb And No, it didn't take very long at all But shipping it to me will be very expensive However, I'd still like to buy it from you I'll PM (DM) you

Without knowing what tools you have; a simple key fob, sewn together, stamped or not stamped

That should do and it should last you a while

I get these from China via ebay; Available in Silver, Golden, Gunmetal and Black

SAE oil rated at a viscosity of 5 in Winter Modern cars usually use something like 10w/40 multigrade oil = 10 viscosity in winter and 40 in summer, ie its thinner in winter

Just got a delivery of my latest one see it here; https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/102026-freds-ramblings/page/12/

I just took delivery of my latest purchase Another sewing machine. Purchased off ebay. I couldn't resist the 'bling'. Its a domestic, possibly German and uses a shuttle. I'll check it out fully later. I doubt I'll put it to use though and it has a nice wood case 4 Singers, 1 Singer clone, 1 Tippmann Boss, 1 New Home & 1 (unknown)

Daddy can you do your frog impression? Why? Because mummy says when you croak we can all go to Disneyland

If you go for the all-in-one, shop around I got my first for about £21 and the second for under £15. My first is actually like your picture, red, but my second is black with the 'waisted' compressor I've seen them priced up to £90, and they are virtually all the same.

I have two of these. They're great. An ordinary spray brush can be fitted. Standard fitting, but not Badger fitting. The cup on top can be changed. Usually these come as a package with two different larger capped plastic cups; very useful for when you're spraying a large amount of dye or sealer With the two I have I swopped one over to an airbrush with a finer needle. They're not really all that bulky and are fairly light-weight. Some versions have a waisted-shape compressor which fit the hand better. Its great not having a hose trailing around to trip over or get wiped across work you've just done I've done plenty of spraying but never as yet exhausted the compressor I know nothing about your other airbrushes but I'd suggest cleaning them up and retiring them

An old thread rises from the obscurity An old tale, which used to do the rounds; A man's car was running badly so he took it the garage The experienced mechanic lifted the hood, listened to the engine for a few minutes then got out a screwdriver, reached into the engine bay, applied the screwdriver and adjusted something the minutest amount He tells the man 'that'll be $50' 'What!' says the man 'fifty bucks and all you did was twiddle that screwdriver!' 'Well, its like this, 50c for twiddling the screwdriver and $49.50 for knowing how and where to twiddle that screwdriver'

Not so much as wear off but as they age and/or get wet the nickel plating will come off as rust forms under the plating I rarely use nickel plated steel rivets. Mostly I use nickel plated brass or plain brass rivets
