That looks very most excellent If you have extra needle holes, mix some dye with some bees wax and press that into the hole

No offence to you Sergii but we must be careful. Sometimes we get 'spammers' who try to get money or goods out of us. gmail is one of the email sites these not nice people use. PM me your address and a list of items you need to get started again. I may be able to send some items but not everything Translated to Ukrainian [hopefully correctly] Без образи, Сергію, але треба бути обережними. Іноді ми отримуємо «спамерів», які намагаються отримати від нас гроші чи користь. gmail – це один із сайтів електронної пошти, якими користуються ці недобрі люди. Надішліть мені вашу адресу та список речей, які вам потрібні, щоб почати знову. Можливо, я зможу надіслати деякі елементи, але не всі

imo without a name cast or engraved on the metal it may not be absolutely for a sewing machine. It might be for a lathe or any sort of machine tool. A lot of factories ran machines on tables from underground or overhead power supplies. We used to gets lots of different tables like this in junk stores in and around Belfast in the early 1970s, They came from engineering and linen factories which were either shutting down or changing to self-motor machines

Are you still living in Ukraine or somewhere else? If this request is genuine I'll give you tools from my spare tools boxes

most excellent!

I think, no need to burnish the tips. If they are left slightly rough-ish it will help them merge into each other I'm not quite getting your problem Can you glue the ends of the inner piece together, put in just a couple of stitches and when this is set slip it over a jar, a glass or a can to hold it. Make it fit tight over the jar/glass/can. You can make your jar/glass/can larger by wrapping some duct tape around it. Then with the inner piece held tight you can apply the outer piece. Just glue one end and about 1'' first, get that aligned and let the glue set. Its easier to get that 1'' just right than try to getting it all aligned, then the rest will follow

afair mixing a good strong pure red with a little purple will get you crimson

I use old tees and other shirts as well. Make sure the material has been recently washed. When you cut it down, go over the edges with a ciggie lighter and burn any stray threads - but be careful not to set it totally alight!

The Oxblood dye I have, Fiebings afair, turns out pink, quite pink. I have Tandy Eco-flo dye Scarlet which is a very good red. You might be better starting with that

About 4 years ago I got a windfall of much ££. I decided to spend some of it by buying a load of stamps. Le Prevo had nearly all what I wanted, made by Ivan. Tandy had the same ones plus the others Le Prevo didn't have. [not discontinued, just oos ] Le Prevo's price was about £6 each, Tandy was about £10 each. I bought about 35 stamps from Le Prevo and about 10 from Tandy. The packaging was exactly the same just the name on the front of the label and on the rear label by the barcode was different I think also Ivan are happy to supply other outlets wholesale but Tandy is not. I used to buy some odd Tandy conchos from an ebay seller in England but he stopped selling them. He told me that Tandy was no longer supplying him as he wasn't a 'Tandy shop'

No, I'm referring back over 22 years; Ivan = Tandy = Ivan, both had the same items in their 'catalogue' at the same time, but at different prices I think Ivan was for the Far Eastern & Europe markets before Tandy put outlets there. Before Tandy had shops in England Ivan was the name for working hardware such as stamps and alphabet letter/number sets

'Ivan' is based in Taiwan All the hardware eg stamps, that I've bought from Tandy has been made in Taiwan Is Ivan/Taiwan actually Tandy? Is Tandy hardware made by Ivan and just relabelled? I get emails from both companies and when they are promoting something quite often its the same item using the same photo of it but prices are slightly different

Whatever spacing you want. The wider the lacing the wider the vertical spacing can be, which looks balanced. Large wide lace too close together looks cramped and thin lace too far apart looks unbalanced loose. eg 1/2 inch width can be from 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart But I'd say never go below 1/8 inch [3.18mm]

Thursday, Friday, two special holidays for celebrating Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee - 70 years of being the Queen Thursday and Friday so a lot of people can make it a 4 day long holiday with Saturday and Sunday added.

I ordered 100 of the 16mm KAM snaps in black. If I use just the heads to cover the bases of 15mm snaps, then I'll have 200 covers. For £4.99 delivered Delivery due soon but we have a couple of days holidays, tomorrow and Friday, no post so they might arrive Saturday

Most, if not all, the tools sold by Le Prevo are 'Ivan'

Two questions; 1. where do you keep your truck keys? 2. What hymns would you like at your funeral?

I have to admit, that's how it is with me right now; living room, spare bedroom, spare temporary cutting table outside, kitchen table covered in things not for eating or cooking

Thanks A thought; could the OP make a loose fit holster for a SAA or wrap the SAA with some padding and duct tape, allow extra or tape on something for the sights, for a holster?

I have some of the Tandy patterns and they DO say which holster is for which gun Denix are limited on their guns. I have several of them including a couple of SAA and a 1860. The two the OP mentions are not made by Denix. Are any of the other guns similar? eg is a Blackhawk 7.5 anything like a SAA with 7.5 inch barrel?

One wee thing I used to do; I cut a slot template in thickish card board. I got the slot looking good on that first, then I used a pen to trace the slot on the leather and followed the outside of the pen line as I cut the leather. I only did this when I had at least 4 slots to cut.

I use plumbers aluminium heat proof tape. Comes in a big roll 2'' wide. Costs about £5 to £8 per roll. I've multi-tested it and it works perfectly

Two extreme things to try; 1. washing it down with cellulose thinners 2. putting it in a bed of oatmeal or kitty litter, for either of those to absorb the excess oil out, but that could take weeks

Excellent Thanks for sharing your results

I've finally tracked down two of the other sizes of KAM Snaps T3 = 11 mm diameter T8 = 14.1 mm diameter I think I'll order some T8. I want some bigger KAMs and I'll see if that size will cover the 15mm snap base edit; I just found another size T15 = 16 mm diameter I'm ordering those uns
