    Thank you very much someone in my area has a used one I have only seen photos of it. It looks like it's in mint condition like it was hardly ever used. I have been trying to figure out what kind of cylinder machine to get, this is only a hobby for me. And spending close to $2000 on a machine I want to make sure I get something that I will be happy with. I am leaning more towards of buying a new machine from a local dealer so I get the customer service and any help I might need.

    Does anyone have any info on the Juki ls-341n I have found a ton of info on the non-n version. Like what size thread and max material, and if anyone can ballpark what they go for in used condition. Thanks for any help

    I am getting ready to buy my first machine soon, here is a dumb question. I know from reading that a lot of people grind and polish the feed dog teeth down so it doesn't mark up the leather. Do you need to make an adjustment from grinding away the metal so the feed dog comes up high enough. For instance if the feed dog was ground down on a consew 227 does it need to be shimmed up or is there a height adjustment. I am trying to learn as much as I can before I buy a machine. @Wizcrafts @Uwe

    I am pretty new also my small area I posted a couple pages back and after seeing all these shops I have been inspired to update my area. I also need to make room for a sewing machine and going to get a tool chest and new work table, will post pics when finished.

    If you ever are going to buy some I would do it soon they have a whole section under new year sale for 35% off. And shipping in the USA is always free. I just ordered some leather I only buy it when they run sales witch is almost every week. You need to follow there instgram they always have great specials.

    That is a good idea thanks for the info I love this forum always learn new things and thats what i am here for.

    I guess thats a good idea makes for a stronger stitch.

    These are the hard shell cases for my drone, this is what I made the bag for. It's also lined with green flannel.

    My first attempt at a roll top bag I made it to carry my DJI Mavic drone, I learned a lot making this the most time consuming parts were the small parts. I need a sewing machine hand stitching is just to much for bigger projects.

    It is a Moreau clamp no I do not own one but have talked to him a bunch I am a Tool maker by trade and he sent me all his plans. I was in the process of trying to help him find a way to still manufacture these were he could still sell them. He is the nicest guy ever it is hard to get a hold of him he has very limited access to the internet.

    This isn't my design but the guy who designed it sent me all the pictures and drawings I am sure you heard of him he is no longer making these do to his health. I have no idea what I did with the drawings I will have to look for them.The clamping system is all custom machined you can pretty much make one from threaded rod and some bolts and washers. So it pivots when you tighten it look in the hardware isle and look at furniture hardware I am sure you could find something you seem very mechanically inclined.

    Here is a good tightening system you could make for your clam and gets clamped into a panavise I bought one of these vices from ebay for really cheap. They swivel any direction you want them to.

    Here is my setup using a photo back drop stand the pana vice attached to my bench is the greatest thing I have ever bought.

    Thanks for posting your set up love how you use what you have to not make it overly expensive. I have done wood bending in wood shop years ago, I planned on making a clam but with thin pieces and laminating them together in a fixture. Just haven't gotten around to it. Everything I want to do ends up turning into a hobby.

    I like trying small things since it doesn't use much leather up and don't get to mad if I mess it up. There have been plenty of time when I just started over on some projects.
  21. AdamPCain
    Thanks yes it is from Acadia.

    I haven't made anything in a while and never real post much so here as a small leather clutch I made over the holidays. Still learning everyday and getting better at stitching going to be buying a industrial machine soon. I love the hand stitching for the strength and look but it's just so time consuming.

    Thats how I hung my tvs to my wall using a french cleat

    That must have been a pain in the rear to sew the sides on.
