As the price of scrap* is so low you wouldn't get the price of the gas to take it to the scrapyard Worth far more, working or not, to a user or collector * £175 per dirty ton of scrap iron. So about $2 for it as scrap

When I moved to the UK as youngster I no sooner got used to the £ s d of British money when they went and changed to decimal £ p! afaik the US Army in Vietnam used kilometers as a measure of distance; 1 km = 1 'click' My '78 Cadillac, built in New Jersey, had 2 different metric bolt threads (fine and coarse) and 2 different US threads (UNC and UNF) plus a few other odd threads

Go with what you know to be the better construction; use a welt

Too much dye localised Are you wetting your leather before applying the dye?

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

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
