  1. its very nice work and yea I love the fact that each piece is kind of surprise, leather after all is a natural product and no two hides are the same.
  2. interesting design indeed I like it i may have to take a shot at making one similar.
  3. beautiful work my friend.
  4. been there done that lol I have one those I threw in the tool box and forgot about for that very reason.
  5. thanks man nice to hear from you again.
  6. Thanks Jonas Yes its basically the same function, it is easier to use and handle and sharpen lol. That handle is sweet.
  7. beautiful!! you gotta show off the blade too though. looks hand forged to me.
  8. the blade is about 1" long
  9. yup it is an awesome push cutter which is how I will mainly use it and for roll cuts, corners and curves.
  10. lol you know what the difference is with the wind in your county and mine.............................................about ten minutes.
  11. once you get it figured out how to put it together then you will need to take it apart and polish the arms where they make contact as well as the cams and bobbin shaft. The hole in the arm where the thread goes through should be polished. The foot needs work as well they usually are so roughly made they tear up the leather. There are several ways that people have fixed the feet but what i did was to clean up the teeth with a jewelers file so they didn't have the ragged edges now they grab fine and move the leather but don't scratch or rip it up.
  12. here ya go i can pull the thing apart if you need but you can just see the lower bearing in the first pic it rides about halfway out of the groove. The lower bearing runs the bobbin back and forth so it should slide easily back and forth while the bearing arm runs the needle arm up and down. You should be able to slide the bobbin shaft and bearing back or forward to get the bearing into the inner smaller raceway. If it wont move something is wrong. As Wyowally said these things need to be tinkered with a bit before they run smoothly and there are tons of youtubes on that subject.
  13. you need an antler button but that rocks my friend, very cool
  14. thanks neighbor, county 6 here.
  15. thank you!
  16. thank you.
  17. thanks man! just coming out of hibernation lol weathers warming up and I'm in the garage playing with fire lol.
  18. this one is a bit larger 1" blade chisel ground 3/8" d2 drill rod with an apple wood handle finished with Linseed oil. it is a plain knife meant for work but I love the handle shape and fit, I may end up changing the handle on the other one to this style. This thing goes through 10 oz like butter lol
  19. i can shoot some pictures if you need them.
  20. there are two grooves in the hand wheel the lower bearing goes in the smaller inner groove the arm bearing goes in the larger outer groove. the two bolts adjust the timing. you may have to adjust that but not right now, It appears you have a c clamp holding the main shaft you need to move that to fit the wheel and bolt the machine to a table. There are tons of you tubes on adjusting and using this thing just look for Chinese shoe patcher.
  21. lol I have one, my place is the garage or the basement.
  22. Go on any site that sells holsters from a company like Hunters, click on a holster and you will see that they have several guns that fit the same holster, go from there. A 1911 pattern will fit some large frame autos, like a p92, to a point some looser some, tighter. Same with the smaller autos shown in the picture like Gc3 or a Glock 43 the fit difference in pattern of these two is about 1/4" inch so they could use the same pattern. Retainage for these types of holsters is a strap.
