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

The Freedoms or Rights We Have or Do Not Have
Frodo replied to fredk's topic in All About Us and Off Topic
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 -

How much to charge for your leather goods?
Frodo replied to GrampaJoel's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
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 -

I do not want to be correct, I want to be wrong -
I have modified my press on one end of the presser ram I pressed a 1/4” rod coupling into the hole then machined the protruding end of the coupling to fit the lg stamps. See image on the other end, drilled a hole to slip the bits from a hand punch into see image the anvil that came with the arbor fits into the rod coupling, I use it when pressing large stamps, at this time I can use a 6” stamp

When I cut the pocket off the old purse i take care to leave the stitches in the holes. Zoom the above purse. I left the tan stitches and restitched with red giving it a contrast or something. I do not know everything it just looks good to me the cut stitches are held in place by using liquid electrical tape

say you have an old purse with 2 outside pockets. Remove the pockets and sew them together. Leave the top open add a magnet for a closure and a strap young ladies like the itty bitty purse

The Freedoms or Rights We Have or Do Not Have
Frodo replied to fredk's topic in All About Us and Off Topic
Have thought about this a lot. What the people need is what we do not have we have a couple of million soldiers wondering around, all with the same mindset but no leadership as long as their are those that keep a wedge in place between the black man and the white man , the poor man and the rich man etc etc. they guarantee no unity with out unity the fight will be at the wedge and not the hammer that set the wedge -
