Hello everyone,

Joined recently on this forum, I introduce myself.

I will have 70 years this year, I am retired passionate about leather work that is not my original job and that I learned alone by surrounding me with the advice of knowledgeable professionals.

Riding brought me 31 years ago to leather work and since then, I have evolved in other areas such as harness and leather goods.

My English is school, so not very good so please forgive me the mistakes I make and hope to make me understand anyway.

I love sewing by hand and so far what I did was sewn for 98%.

I had an excellent very big saddler machine (United Pearson No. 6), which I no longer used and that I just sold and is now in Taiwan.

I just bought another sewing machine that I make familiar; I saw on this site that sewing machine specialists say good and so far, I share their opinion.

This is a Durkopp-Adler 269-373 gun, old which has been completely redone and tested by a sewing machine mechanic.

It is powered by a Powermax AH 27 servo motor, with a power of 750 W which allows a working comfort that I did not know until now.

It is also equipped with a removable work table which increases the comfort for the flat work.

I still have to adjust important parameters such as table heights (it is mounted on wheels) and toggle.
