    Got my narrow foot set and feed dog set from @Patrick1 at HEP My ferdco didn’t come with a feed dog or plate. And also the narrow foot I have wasn’t open for visibility in the front of the toe. Patrick’s sets are beautifully made. Haven’t sewn more than a bunch of scrap yet as I just installed them but I really like having the feed dog for more positive feeding. I got the #25 set since I often sew heavier goods but I may get a narrow feed dog set soon. Over all a big improvement from the stock ferdco and I like it better than the cobra foot set I tried. The feed dog brings the most improvement in my opinion and since it’s beveled and polished doesn’t seem to mark much at all. Wouldn’t hesitate to get a set of you have a ferdco or any juki 441 clone without a feed dog.

    Uwe, Amazing and helpful video worked for me had my machine running like a top until last night, not sure what happened but something not good. broke needle stopped machine dead, thread stuck in race etc. Now my rear most hook position is almost a quarter of a turn too far back and the rear most movement doesn't align with my 0 degree position, where is the adjustment for that part of the timing. I can set the rear most position to the 1mm visible hook but it isn't in time with the correct position of needle or wheel...

    I have a tormek t-8 standard stone and japanese stone (4000 grit) and if you're tired of trying to sharpen your bench splitter blade on sand paper on a flat stone or glass send it my way and I'll get you taken care of. Also very capable of sharpening other leather working tools if needed as well. Bench splitter blades will be $20ish plus return shipping, they don't need sharpened often and can be maintained by stropping for a long time after they are sharp. Benefits of my method is that it maintains a perfectly strait edge with the jig I use. Usually the middle portion see more use than the edge and I'll bring it all back to true without removing too much steel, or risking over heating the edge. Thanks for your time feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to get back to you promptly. Oh, I'm based in Northern California. (hidegear on instagram)

    This is a hard to find splitter I’ve only seen the 4 and 6 in available before I found this with a bunch of tools I purchased from a 97 year old saddle maker. It’s used but in great working order the blasé is sharp and stropped razor sharp. The 4 original blade adjustment screws will come with. There are new stainless ones in the picture that worked better for me. Let me know if you have any questions. I’m asking 550 local pick up Sonoma county California but happy to ship at whatever shipping costs me. I think it might even fit a medium flat rate once handle is off. I’m only selling because I have an Osborne 84 as well. let me know I’d you have any questions or want to make an offer by PM

    I did. Took one from an old ripped apart soccer ball. The bladder is just in with friction not glued in place so if it gets deflated it’s in trouble to realign the hole. But keep it inflated it will be good to go Lol true most places. One of my next projects is going to be an American football. And also a client wants some retro basketballs made.

    Thanks. I’ll try and figure out how to post in the gallery Thanks so much. I thought about attempting some of it in my sewing machine but it’s the pandemic. What else is there to do?

    if I would have thought of that... great idea, I do lack any round hole stitching irons though, so it would have been a one hole at a time situation, not my cup of tea when I have the 5spi irons handy

    I have ferdco pro 2000, I'm not sure how it compares to the 441 (i know its a clone and supposed to be a good one) but if you want any pics let me know happy to help out.
