The presser arm grind the rod coupling so it fits OnTo the aluminum stamp using a drill bit, remove the threads inside the rod kkcoupling. Cut a 1/4” rod 1.5” long , grind one end to a dull point nowlets use the machine 1)…. Flip/invert the anvil that comes with the press. Use this tool to press large acrylic stamps, I have pressed stamps up to 6” diamieter 2). Press for stamps 3).. remove the selector wheel from a broken hand punch, remove one of its cutter dyes Ram will press down on the cutter dye to punch holes

I have a few different types of snap setters i have the one shown on your photo All of them are a pain to use , I bought a box of snaps in the sewing section of a big box they came with a short stubby set tool I have found that this little tool works better than any other I have It folds the metal over correctly and the snap does not have to be beaten with a hammer to close added bonus use this tool to set large snaps where the leather is not thick enough

I would make the holster removable and able to attach to my belt. Using a drop down

True story [I came home one day an announced I was going to buy a rolling frame and build a shovel head in a jammer ridged frame. with a solo seat and a P pad wifey did not miss a beat, she stood up grabbed her purse and said COOl !!!

Bro I am soooooo sorry to read your pain I was with my Mother when she passed so I understand your pain Do not let others tell you to get over it and move on, Take your time, speak to others about her and in time you will feel better . It must be on your terms and your schedule I am hear to lend an ear if needed

It is the same result if I hold the top thread to the back , side, or not hold it at all yes the top and bottom thread are the same size i m in the middle of a project and have been using the same needle thread combo all day with no problems at all the trouble started when I back stitched then forced the needle when it hit a knot or a thread image of tight stitch image of stitch line that is affected

Rex 26-188 I sewed 3 then reversed to sew 3 when the needle stoped like it was bent i checked to see if all was clear it appeared to be using my hand on the Pully. I forced the needle to go down sewed Approx 6” the machine was not acting right, I found a rats nest along the stitch line so I checked bobbin timing and tension after threading the machine it will pick up the bobbin thread, but look at this video this is what it is doing when I sew I am concerned that I broke/ bent something when I forced the wheel to turn IMG_4934.MOV

I would like to elaborate on a few things and please forgive my spelling, I am using a phone these keys are small and my finger is big what rights do we as Americans have?y answer is anything that is not against the law we are free to do. ley me tell you about the first amendment and my idiot nephew my nephew is a hot head. Who does not think before he speaks , I myself have had to bite my tongue and walk off more than once. He has a job replacing windshields with a company, This compmay comes to you and replaced the windshield where ever you are He left one customer and was on the cell phone with the next appointment when he was cut off in traffic, so he yells “ stupid n word” at tne guy who cut him off this outburst is allowed it is not illegal,and you can not go to jail for it but, there is something else at play here you do not hear about often. It is how we as Americans deal with this. The lady’s was on the phone with was in fact African American and she called his office, he was fired on the spot my point is. We have freeedom of speech and do not recognize hate speech as anything but free speech. Which you can say anytime you wish AS LONG as you are prepared to accept the conqsiquences of your actions

This is going to get complicated so sit down with a hot cup of coffee Readers digest version I buy a thrift store purse that is past its prime I strip the purse of its hardware I make another purse and use the hardware now. I am using the discarded pleather to make a guncase yhat is 2 projects out of one only thing is I am not very proud about using this vinyl

Yes Ms klara you are 100% correct if you are using pre died leather that is pre cut and burnished I guess I a just an old fart ‘cause burnishing by hand (most events do not have power) would gobble up that 10 minutes. Some people do not burnish I dunno why but thats ok hey Gimmie some of that popcorn stop being stingy

it takes a total of apex 3 hours to make a belt materals to make a belt are 20 for the leather 10 for consumables that $30 if you bend over for the pressure and sell your belts for $40 you are accepting $3.33 an hour for your labor and zero for your overhead You will not be in business long

What worries me….. IMG_4834.MOV

I do not want to be correct, I want to be wrong
