very nice!

ole rooster Cogburn woulda loved em. at least the new ole rooster would have lol. So do I!!!

Heck yea or some smaller pokes i have seen the smaller ones that hang around the neck. It also makes a nice liner material for belts, guitar straps, and the like. Im looking for ideas too my son has brain tanned a few deer hides so they are similar. A nice pair of gloves would work too. or some moccasins.

really nice work !!! have you thought of putting a chain or maybe a lanyard similar to a truckers wallet so it wont get dropped in the creek an float away. Don't ask me how i know lol.

Awesome tool!! I've found the older tools often are about the best at what they do.

very cool Those will work awesome in my green house.

try on scrap first.

from what ive read in about five minutes the jobmate are lower end tools sold by Canadian tire Seems Canadian tire outsources their tools and have a few different quality brands made for them. No personal knowledge of them just info from the net, that being said doesn't mean they wont work for you, i have hundreds of auto tools of every quality and use them all equally i.e. till they break lol.

It would be a toss up on which was better made as the Pastor said just selling points. Who manufactured each set? keep both sets sounds like your handy man will need replacements, let him use the crappiest ones first.

practice with it, use it for mockups or new pattern making

That is an awesome pattern indeed your work always inspires. I could even see one in black silhouette with a sunset background.

sell it on the forum.

Here sewing machines can be had for free usually except for those few treadle machines that are complete. you can pick up any number of used home machines for nothing. People just don't sew anymore so granny's machine goes to the yard sale then the dumps. I guess some folks collect them so that may push up the cost on some if they are perfect. just in one summer i picked up four older machines for nothing all were in almost unused condition. My favorite is a 401a slant needle machine freebie that was in like new condition i love that thing. Rebuilding and reselling is about the same as bicycles nowadays the younger folks in the US have been taught to buy only brand new then throw away and buy brand new again, go figure, so collectors are the only ones that would even look.

no same here i'm still trying.

I agree 100% its not about the quality of the tools or products. Its about who makes them and how they are treated in China. Slave labor is what is happening over there and no country can compete with them when they have no labor cost. They captured the world economy while everyone slept now we buy Chinese because there is nothing else in our stores.

I love it too. you did a great job for the first project, its a complex piece.

That is beautiful work! collars next?

very cool!!!

that may be the answer.

eek hmmm this gonna take some thinkin lol.

yes and also homemade chokecherry grape Brandy among other goodies. lol

here, USA, in most every town there is a local VFW, veterans of foreign wars. If you have these in the UK go there and talk to real vets ( the boots on the ground) they will know someone I'm sure who would benefit. I will add you are an awesome and wonderful person to care that much about your family as well as those who may get the benefit of your tools. God bless you friend

so I have three swivel knife blades i measured the total angle of each to see if they were close to Stohlmans instructions which say to sharpen the edge at about 30 degrees which is 60 total degrees. My three blades were all different angles 55, 65 and 75 degrees and i haven't changed any of the angles from factory. Two are tandy one is ? The 55 being my favorite to use. Also noticed the point angle on my two 1/4" filigree was different also.
