Treadmill motor for a sewing machine??
chuck123wapati replied to AlZilla's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Simply use the time you waste every day, its free too. You could also look at it as taking a class in engineering, what would that cost? From my perspective its also free education so a double win. -
excellent!!

i did a short search yesterday and only found one manufacturer of artificial sinew. They are in the US, my guess is most re-sellers even the native Americans in Canada sell the same stuff made by the same company. Artificial sinew is made to be pulled apart and used just as the real sinew was also pulled apart for different sizes of thread so getting sinew that doesn't have that property is going to be hard. Native American used real sinew for everything from backing on bows, cordage, to sewing baby mocs as well so it was separated to the size as needed for the particular project. artificial sinew is also made so it can be separated.

you can always polish the one you have if you can find something small enough. -

Looking for: High Quality Copper Rivet and Burr Setter.
chuck123wapati replied to SpruceMoose's topic in Leather Tools
https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/heritage-rivet-burr-setters they all do the same thing so there isn't much dif just how much you want to pay to show off some shiny . its just a half round drilled in a piece of metal no matter how cool the rest of the tool looks. i usually just peen them with a small hammer, i like the old timey look of a copper rivet.. -
these are similar to what i use. https://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush-Dual-Action-Airbrushing-Accessories/dp/B00BTAOBDC/ref=sr_1_15?adgrpid=1239149927754445&hvadid=77447036273123&hvbmt=bb&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=101688&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=b&hvtargid=kwd-77447119490973%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=22398_13435104&keywords=airbrush+bottles+siphon&qid=1689864672&sr=8-15 they come with the attachment.

the top one is a great airbrush for leather work !! You can get air brush bottles online so you can put your dyes in their own bottle. A new compressor is a must for you, Harbor freight has some decent ones fairly cheap this is the one i use. https://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools-compressors/air-compressors-tanks/air-compressors/2-gallon-135-psi-ultra-quiet-hand-carry-jobsite-air-compressor-64596.html. I use about 20 psi pressure as to high a pressure causes to much over spray. You can make your own cleaner also the recipe is all over the net. Buy some cheap air brush paint and practice.

they are both chisel edged, sharpened one side.

I've looked at your page for about 30 minutes and my gut is telling me your products are mass produced. there are just to many products for a small company to make and they are not custom by any stretch. they appear to be mass produced with your brand stamped on. Obviously i may not be right but that is what i feel when i go to your store. I wouldn't buy from it, if my assessment isn't true you need to change a lot.

i used your search and just came up with wallet off the top of my head, it brought up a nice wallet but it said in big letters "Hand tooled' It is clearly a stamped impression on the wallet you can even see the edge of the stamp impression. Don't lie about your products some folks know better.
-
it looks the same to me but.... All races have sewn with sinew just at different times in history and i doubt 21st century native Americans have the experience their ancestors did or a secret place they buy the stuff for resale lol but i get what your saying.

spring flowers and good food

that is cool, I'm sure they are a god send back there where there are a lot of people. My folks rode the old narrow gauge train from Durango to Silverton one time they made me drive the car lol i was only 15 then and only had a learners permit. -
i've seen them but never made any,

that did make a nice tool board my friend. now you'll have more time to work instead of looking for tools lol.

i would love to take ride on a passenger train some day, that would be so cool just to sit and ride and watch the world go by. -
the ruger speed six was built as a service weapon style revolver, and pretty popular until semi autos took over the roll. the double loop design provides for two carrying styles, straight up to carry on the side or with a cant so you can carry it further back on the belt. very cool design IMO.
