Give credit where it is due and here it well and truly is Regards Brian

And here is mine then. Laugh all you like I don't care. With Australia's gun laws this is the first time I have been asked to make a holster,rig whatever you call it and it is following the customer's rough pattern mostly. The leather is extra strong and waterproof and near impossible to wet and mould. I bought it for motorcycle tool bag use and was the only heavy stuff I had on hand in a hurry. Price was low. Excuses over here it is.

A Masters work I must say and I aint Lion.

It looks pretty good and I think your wife should be proud to have it on her side. I think possibly the middle gusset stitch could have come a bit closer to the corners but am not sure. In all other aspects I can see very professional. Regards Brian

Its a busy time of year with Christmas coming up fast and customer orders pressing, but a little product testing must not be overlooked. I am trying to learn how to make "how to video's" and such and this is my first attempt. I didn't want to make it too boring so it may be a bit fast but I reckon if your interested enough you can replay and hit the pause where ever you like. Comments are welcome.

Minimalist card holders
RockyAussie replied to MartinHrcka's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Welcome Martin Hrcka. Your minimalist card holder looks very well done and the design looks good as well. I hope your Etsy shop goes well for you. The pricing looks very competitive. Regards Brian -
Opinions On Fratelli Skiving Machine
RockyAussie replied to simontuntelder's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Once again I must say I wish there was a CampbellRandall style of supplier in Australia. I have a Fortuna and a FAV AV2 and both are very good machines. The main difference is on the FAV that I have is the screw down holder on the back that allows the feed wheel to be set at different feed speeds if running continuously. I do find the Fortuna a little smoother but as I said both are very good and are IMO one of the essential tools in serious leather goods production. -
I Need To Tell You How Much I Hate The Consew Servo Motor...
RockyAussie replied to JimC's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
That is a very good useful video Uwe. I have now bookmarked it.Thanks again for sharing. -
Very good attention to detail. Are you happy with the metal strap holder instead of skin in how it works?
-
That will fix the darn....ing machine missin stitches I reckon. They'll all now miss nice and evenly.

I have not come across that one before but I would say that the bracket does not allow for the belt to go back through and is only to attach the end to. I would check with the family to see if it were only for a web type belt before or if the strap just stays on the underside against the body kind of thing. Some of these styles only do that. Hermes have a similar one but the end is attached at the pin and has a double bulge to hold the underneath strap in place.The picture here may help.From memory though this one allows the belt to still be fed through the loop before the prong.

Excellent videos Uwe Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Another Polish Briefcase.
RockyAussie replied to skalpel's topic in Satchels, Luggage and Briefcases
Beautiful work and excellent attention to detail in all aspects. Hope to see more of your work in the future. -
Hope it goes well and let us know if you have any problems on how to use. I have had a few and fixed a few over the years.
-
That would be around a $1000 au over this side if it goes OK. I would love to have one.
-
Excellent ideas. Thank you for sharing Ron. I like the first 2 best as well.

Did 5 Belts Today
RockyAussie replied to Dwight's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
I was nearly come and visit ya about a job till I saw the Tippman Boss at the end. I though you was gonna say hand stitched. Still I can understand you being tired all the same. -
Looks good and strong and professional.
-
I reckon the saddler might be a excellent teacher but I think you might have filled up a fair bit on that energy drink first. The one in this picture here I'd say. I think I need some of that but I can't read the language. Regards Brian
-
Very quick work for such a good outcome Thor. I assume Libri is some type of energy drink. Looks like grog and that just does not make any sense. Wrong bike type.
-
Just remember that what cased the problem as machinehead and Constabulary pointed to, the thread must hook down through the thread tension return spring. Check when you have the thread all laced up and that with the feet down when you pull the thread it will pull through and the thread tension spring moves up and down freely. Regards Brian
-
If it stitches leather and canvas Ok then I would say the needle location is correct. This type of webbing is likely deflecting the needle at times when it finds the easiest path through the webbing. I have to say I would be tempted to try changing to a thread that holds together better if possible and also try changing the needle to a new one as sometimes that's all it takes however good it may look. Other than that try a bit more foot pressure and a longer pull up on the thread tension take up spring lastly. Regards Brian
-
AH HA. I've only seen this type with electrical adjustments.Is the foot mechanically adjustable on this one as I don't see the control board? Would love to see some clearer close up pics. OBTW congratulations.Regards Brain
-
When you turn the corner check that if the needle is out, that when it goes back in with the thread that the thread is on the right side of the needle when it enters..

Thanks for that Tor, I was hoping to get one from here in Australia but as you see above "nobody really buys them" . I guess that's because of the difficulty in getting a price here. I wish there was a Campbell Randall here or at least an agent.
