Hello all, sorry it has took a long time to get back to you. unfortunately I have been into hospital again, for more treatment. As you can imagine that the mo all activities are no go. I really appreciate all your help. Soon as im fit enough I would like to continue with the hobbies and getting the brace sorted. ATB Bri

Hello all, I have the chance to look at wood turning. a man sent me a link for a brace, as he uses it for fly fishing due athur-riris. has anybody made one, or know somebody that made similar? this would be used with my bad arm whilst wood turning. using the chisels. I would think holding the chisels would be Velcro etc. any help or guidance will be appreciated. thank you ATB Bri

thanks so much, I'm really happy with it. started getting RMI doing the same stages...lol ATB Bri

My good friend and mentor Ian Bailey wanted to make something to make leatherwork easier for me, using my good hand. I think its a great bit of workmanship. The main was to made easy for stitching but I use it for than that Thanks for viewing ATB Bri

Hi all, thank you for the advice. I don't have diamond awl, so guess what I need to perchase! a great explanation I'm really happy. thank you ATB Bri

Thank so much, its a challenge. but I'm finding the back of the stitching is poor whilst the inside is ok...I'll get there. ATB Bri

Really!!! I'm happy that you think. took hrs n hrs with one hand to do it, but I got there. respect Brian

hello all, 1-1.5mm chestnut leather. any comments welcome. ATB Bri

Hello all, ive been practicing with the tools I need to make this wallet, but took a long time due to having only one hand mobile. 1-1.5mm veg tan- light brown dye. The single stitching was a combination of large and small stitches, getting the best to do it. gluing is hard as you imagine and dying the leather. Ive enjoyed it. Thank you for viewing. ATB Brian

Thank you so much guys for replies. im slowly looking on Cowboy at the moment. A long way to go before I settle on the best machine for my needs. atb Brian

Due to difficultys with getting what what to exactly say! i appreciate any help. ATB Brian

Hello all, for all the seller is good about sending the kit back and paying for the shipping then refunding me later. but I just get the whole problem! Maplin made me angry as sent an email an stated my kit spec complete, they said yes it work (the 300w converter! if person knew anything about electrics they'd spot the 60Hz needed to run the kit..but they've made me buy another 50hz converter... They reckonise the problem, and at the same time "we've got a 60hz model in stock...£145!!! No shame! Somewhere lyes the problem...the seller is used to sell in USA not U.K and its ELECTIC set up! saying just buy a power converter is a bit lame tbh! I'm totaly to blame! if I'd know about the implications of electrics I could of done it proplery my friend is going to take me through checking with a multimeter via Skype etc..bought a cheap one it'll read what I want see. If all it give a reading from the the power converter I'll be happy! At least I can say I've check the kit. the seller is happy for me to hold on for the moment. gives me time to get an definate answer from Foredom about the problem etc. Atb bri

At least he helping..being good about it!! ellimitaion or what ever the word is lol. asked to put the EMX-1 into the power convertor then to the motor!! Already try this yesterday.. sent pictures to him and a one of my power converter as he reckons it could be the power converter that doesn't work!!! Red light on switched on..btw told him Maplin emailed me and confirms the 300W step down conferter will run the Power Mallet now stage 2 of ellimitaion!!! What next...lol im not going back to the hospital from stress I tell you..too much hard earn cash been spent so far.. atb bri

Found the fuse for the EMX-1 and a spare..all ok! But no one in th FCT-1. been looking closely in the Foredom site... yes im thinking that the wrong foot control is sent!!! Especially they can't use any other control, only one.. it state clearly on the site what controls can use with the LX motor!! i just don't understand the logic of the seller!!! ATB brian
