  1. I've had a Tormek T4 for about 30 years, it still runs like a Swiss chronometer, with always the same stone, however, I had to change the leather strap, that's all. If I had to buy one today, it would definitely be a Tormek T7, it runs precisely and quietly, it's great.
  2. to have beautiful interior corners I put a punch before cutting, it's easier then to sand it with a piece of sandpaper on a round support. and then I smooth it with a burnisher after having moistened the leather and passed a little glycerin soap.
  3. Hi everybody, what do you think is the best black dye for leather? with a very dense and deep black. Until today I was using fiebings but since I have to restock I wanted to know if there is a better dye.
  4. yes exactly true.
  5. I don't know how he makes them but all I know is that these tools are evil!
  6. The last creation of J.David the finest blade in the range width: 1.4mm
  7. he speaks English.
  8. great work! what is its weight?
  9. try with this guy https://catarino.ru
  10. a clicker die is it this tool to cut round pieces of leather? if yes, it's mark on the plastic sheet but never pass through it.
  11. try with another new needle I have a 69 too and when i have this type of problem it's because i have a pressure important in the needle thread. ( when the bobbin thread is visible on top )
  12. if the underthread goes up it means that you have stretched your thread too much if you put pictures it will be better. I don't know what V92 stands for
  13. I don't know, we'd have to test on a sample.I never use it with this type of tool or machine
  14. https://www.cuttingmatsxxl.com/?no_lredirect=true it's mine in A1 size
  15. RTS ! it's a shame to sell this.
  16. I got into the habit of holding my thread at the back at least for the first stitch after I let it go. but several times I forgot to pick up the thread and I have never had any problems or bad remarks from my machine.
  17. I use clear/transparent liquid neoprene glue for many years and I am delighted with it, in France the name is Limpipréne but in the US the equivalent is something like this. You can find thousands of different brand names but the product is always the same. https://www.nca.ca/product/titebond-neoprene-plus-contact-cement-clear-quart-1631
  18. another good idea;

  20. They can even do 2 in 1 by inverting the two pairs of pins on the same plate. Wide and narrower. another simple idea: https://www.instructables.com/id/center-finder/
  21. only good, natural, traditional products, I validate. Thanks for shearing.
  22. Wall paint,it's practical, versatile, cheap, and thick enough if I wish, or fluid if I wish to dilute it with water, but above all, it's cheap! perfectly adapted to working with leather. https://tradisign.blogspot.com/2019/10/wall-paint-for-edge-finishing.html
