Bob, the owner Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine, now goes by CowboyBob, not sewmun. Sorry for the blunder.

Polyester thread is UV resistant and a lot cheaper than $180.00 per lb.polyester does not stretch either and works great in needle and awl machine. Link to Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine's thread and needle chart. Bob sells thread and goes by sewmun on the site. https://www.tolindsewmach.com/thread-chart.html This chart has metric and imperial.

All you have to do is step away from the negotiation, it is that easy. Toledo Industrial sewing machines is a great to purchase items. I like buying parts from there, great customer service from Bob Kovar.

Welcome! Nice looking Landis 3 machine. I have an early one just like that one.

Consew 226r has reverse Juki LU-562 with reverse Juki LU-563 with reverse(Same as the LU-562, but with a larger capacity bobbin) Singer 144w205 has reverse My pick would be the Juki LU-563 because of bobbin size, plus a great machine. The 144w205 will sew .750" of material and has an even larger bobbin than the Juki LU-563, plus a 20" throat. This would be the ultimate machine of the bunch. I absolutely have only needed reverse for nylon horse halters, I do not back stitch with a leather needle because it cuts the thread. You should be able to find a, ready to sew, Singer 111w155 for half your budget, but has no reverse.

I just heard, not to long ago, Preston passed away. Someone must have the right to print it the book, the book looks like it was printed at a local print shop, but is a great book for Market Style Harness. Not sure what it would cost to have it copied.

The Allies bombed the factory in WW2 and the machine was never made again.

Anymore pictures? Not sure what the middle machine is nor the back two are.. The machine to the left and the right are not leather related tools, but light gauge sheet metal tools as Bruce pointed out.

Is it out of print now? Shoptalk magazine use to sell them, which is the guy who wrote the book.

Looking for a unicorn here, Wanting to purchase a hand operated insole channeling machine for the operation of channeling the midsole for the process of inseaming welted boots and shoes. I just missed a German made machine that was for sale on some website, I saw one being used by a White's Boots employee on a youtube collaboration video between White's Boots and Rose Anvil. Any help or leads will be greatly appreciated. Please PM me with details, I can either pay for or may have something for trade. Examples below with the green one being German and the drawing is American and the one used on the White's and Role Anvil collaboration video. Thank you!

I see this is an old post with a pre 1940 Harley seat pan with no vent holes. I have a few questions, one being how did you stretch the leather to form the leather around the nose area, what size thread was used and what sewing machine? ps: The seat looks darn good! Thanks!
