“Come and Take (them)”

Sorry ArkieNewbie explaining “how to” in type is not easy for a guy with ADD and ADDHD. With out a Harley I start at the bottom slot sew it, Fold the free end. “Tag”. From the first. Slot. Up to the second slot. Fold over 1/2”, place under the card cut out place a second piece of card slot material inbeteen the fold. Sew that At that point you have a completed slot for the lower card. After you have all card slots completed run a stitch line. Around all the card slots like a picture frame, this will tie the individual stitch lines under each slot together

Edit, where is the edit button? remove the word “not”

I finds myself in need of a Fleur-de-lis stamp I not Need it to be 2” / 50.8mm tall Is anyone here making stamps?

Yes. A speed loader, this is an addition to a guys shoulder holster

You will never match the color of a new leather piece to the old. The value of the holster is zero. Don’t spend money on a holster that you can not sell and recoup your funds. Go buy another holster do you need any magazines?

I used it this morning to install a snap

Set the nut on the ground Hump a little dirt around it any excess file in off with your file

I thought this might help others 1 1/4” (6.35 mm) Brass nut lead the nut can be easily found on any old faucet I use this as a small anvil to set rivets or snaps in tight spots. It can be laid flat or stood on its edge

I have a different approach for card holders, I use a shear material for lining bags and this is what I use. I also use yellow masking tape, It makes cutting the material easier and will wear off over time place a stripe of tape on the material and cut 1- 2”x7”. Per card pocket On the bottom card slot, place your leather backside up and the material finish side up fold the material 1/2” and sew After sewing the first slot, fold the material over itself as shown, also fold as before 1/2” Slide the next strip of material between the fold. Sew Same on the next, till you get to the top tips and tricks, you can use 2 sided tape and the top one do not sew now, wait till you sew the 2 pieces of leather and sew it in between

Measurements for a holster Wet formed afterwards 1 piece of leather 161/2” x 4 1/2” measure and mark at 6”, 12” may the 6” Mark measure and mark 1” on each side of the 6” mark at the 6” mark . From edge towards the middle measure mark at 3/4” cut from the 1” mark on n angle to the 3/4 mark you should have a triangle that is 2” long x 3/4” cut the other sid same ssme fold the leather at the 6” mark up to your the 12” mark you will sew this with 1/8” from edge stitch line after you attach he belt loop measure from the 12” mark up 1” mark measure from edge to center mark from center mark 1” both sides of center mark nd cut this is the belt loop fold back and sew

Looks like I am good, for now Thanks for the helpful tips and tricks from everyone special shout out to a YouTube channel by Harry Rogers. The bobbin drop test saved my bacon I removed the tension spring from the bobbin carrier and found years worth of thread dust and dirt. Little wd40 and a q tip did the trick made a leather washer for the tension discs to sit on

I did not kno that I left the needle down and turned the foot 90 degrees

Wiz is spot on. And I found another issue i switched to #69 thread and was going to make another test strip but the tension was loose, would not tighten up I looked at the plates and see that a part must be missing the spring pushes down on a ? Brass tube? That tube has a shoulder that can not go any farther it lacks a 1/16” of engaging ing the tension plate

I think the 18 needle is to small for the 135 that must be the reason.

2 prices 6 oz 8” turn 3” then skipped stitches?????

Another practice piece no skips

29k62 135 thread top/bottom 110/18B. Needle after reading and paying attention I managed to get this machine started in on a decent stitch line, then this It started out pretty decent till I turned s corner then loose upper thread then skipped suggestions? the reverse side looks good up to the skip line

4 oz. I use electric fence wire cause I have like a million feet of it if you zoom in on the bottom you can see the wire

Not really showing off just telling you what I am up to making a cow boy hat tan dyed vegtan Black mystery weave hat band and black brim edge with wire inserted sorry about the sideways pictures, they are not sideways on my end maybe the mods can tweak on that issue.

I sent a hand awl to Tony, owner of Diesel punk a little over 2 months latter it showed up the tracking was crazy it left jackson ms, went to Miami then to new York then New Jersey then main back to ms and did it again 3 times i guess the bone handle was freaking the out cTony finallyreceived it and said the box looked like it had been opened a few times and suggested he had been run over. And kicked we try and use ups it usps dhl and fedex are the worst I ordered a smoker online fedex literally dropped it in the street 200 yards fro the house. And drove off

I think the bag is outstanding and a good job. I have mad a few packs and my Bud also makes packs I would like to give you a couple of ideas for your next pack. again nothing wrong with your back pac. I like it!! I have found that the flap top of your bag type will tend to leak in the morning when the dew melts and the contents get wet my Bud Gary cam up with a solution that allows the content to stay dry but adds space to the sq footage of the pack itself instead of the flap, make the tubular or square sharp of the pack longer then you use a draw string to close and roll the top of the bag closed then use 2 straps one on each side of the roll to secure roll top closed the loose ends of the straps bug me, so below the buckle make a pouch to slide the excess into This is not my bag, Gary made this it is a roll top as mentioned with double straps and end strap pouches the image is turned the correct way in my computer way up with the site

Skipping?what causes this ?

Couple hours later i tore apart the top tension disk assemply and gave it a good cleaning plus etc. tightened the discs This is the top thread, bottom tension needs tightened? Bottom thread photo If I am reading this correctly, top tension is ok bobbin tension needs to be tightened? side note, this machine is freaking cool Do not laugh at me guys, I am learning
