what happens at hunting camp stays at hunting camp!

yea and it was great!!! when used with the potentiometer of my electric train set lol. i think it may have been my first wood burning kit too lol. Damn it was fun being a kid back then.

I trust Frodo's impression of it! But I've been on the fence as well. My problem is I want to buy it more for the idea of getting the piece of crap to work than to sew with it. I'm not gonna waste expensive leather on this i make to many mistakes already.

Now thats funny!!!

some one asked the same question back awhile ago. The link on the last page of the catalog looks like the web page was sold off. found this! https://files.3dsellers.com/pdf_catalog/dDk0Um0zZEd5NCtXUEY2QXBGWVVxQT09/9452.pdf here is another supplier if you just want the cobra style but i didn't look through the whole sight for other styles. https://edcleather.com/product/cobra-rifle-sling-template-set/

thanks I this may jumpstart my old sketchy ways lol.

Thanks maybe an elk next lol.

I bought a pyrography set the other day to sign my leather and wood products with. It is a cheapo set but i found it quite fun to sketch with. I'm kinda rusty at sketching and new at the burners but can see this may be another avenue in leather decorating for me.

maybe some other natural fiber type stuff like cotton webbing in the hidden areas.

Where did you source a 30 dollar servo motor? the cheapest i can find is about 100. Plus a guy would need other parts as well wouldn't they like v belt and pulleys, foot peddle and cost to build or buy a decent stable table.

and maybe a couple of crazy old farts that run on about everything. Welcome and maybe a couple of crazy old farts that run on about everything. Welcome

Very nice indeed! perfect spacing on the edges i can never get that right.

Awesome!! You have a great technique figured out for sure and it does show on your work. Thank you for the answer to my questions! I may have to ask Mrs. Clause for one now.

so basically you are just using it to put the thread through pre-punched holes and not really using it for the whole process? Can you explain why or is it because it doesn't do a good enough job? "Nobodies paying hard cash for something with shoddy looking stitches." I'm not knocking your process your work is awesome but if it wont actually do a good job of sewing the whole process just like the expensive ones can do then folks should know what this machine can really do.

Thank you, much appreciated!

outstanding!!!! start a thread and share your secrets on fine tuning this thing! you seem to be the exception to the rule. lol

give Hunter a call.

you may try vinegar but do a test sample i've never tried it on leather. Vinegar kills most molds and is used on dried meats, cheeses and such to kill the molds.

i use those heavy paper clothes/cookie boxes we get at Christmas time. I trace around them so they never wear out and dont bring any more plastic garbage into the world.

Those are nice indeed!

thats alot o basket weave but its straight as a string and beautiful indeed. It'll look great in your Jeep and you could make a strap for those slits and use it to carry over your shoulder. I made one semi similar for a BP rifle and use it as the native Americans did over the shoulder quiver style.

that is outstanding work and beautiful leather to boot.

that is "badass"!

very nice!!!! what type of leather?

I love it, dont know quite why lol.
