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

Video is not uploading the service on my end is sketchie. We pipe in the sunshine and the pipe does not leave room for a web wire out here in BF finally received bobbins ad threaded them up. I see a learning curve coming up needle intermittently catches the bobbin and misses stitches. Sounds like I need to adjust, the bobbin spring is set so the bobbin dangles on the thread that is held by my fingers then will play out the thread when I rapidly move my wrist, kinda like when you jiggle a hook in front of a fish top thread tension is the same I have not adjusted For the correct needle height. Is the trick of bumping your finger tip with the needle under the shuttle arm the same on the singer as it is on a chichi patcher? I will upload t YouTube then to her tuomorrow thanks guys

Both excellant recomendations may I add a side note? Apply painters masking tape to the Formica side of the table and cut the tape with the saw it will keep the Formica from splintering or splitting clean with a damp rag

HA Damn Wally world has everything now!!!!!!

I need new belts so I measured the pulley was surprised to discover the pulley to be somewhat a v shape at the top is is 1/4” at the bottom of the v it is 3/16” so I am thinking of using a //4” v belt instead of a round belt has anyone done this with success?

A friend in Denver found a Rex machine on CL Rex 312-140 does anyone know what this machine sews?

The man card protocol on acknowledging another’s pain is Crystal clear first, you ask the person if they need medical attention are they “OK” IF no medical treatment is needed then you are free to laugh and call them bc a dumbass for what just transpired in no way are you allowed to giggle, grin,laugh or show any emotion EXCEPT concern until the person announces they are “OK” showing emotion will cause your man card to be revoked

EXCELLENT advise

The last few days I have been very uncomfortable with a kidney full of stones The pain is intense today, I passed these stones Then about an hour ago these 2 boulders popped out

Looking for a pattern for a Derringer My cat got his CCW

I reached out to Patcher last night with a pm. I will wit to see if he responds before going forward

Wife’s simplicity did not work all to large to fit in shuttle

Really? Ok I have a few of those around here…..somewhere old singer 66 did not fit old Brother did not fit do I dare snag the wife’s ?

You are correct after reading Wizcrafts post I went over everything the needle picked up the thread and I managed to sew. Then the bobbin ran out. I have put in an order for bobbins,

Ok guys all good info this is where I am hoping this is the correct needle DP x 17 110/18 B inserted needle. Dropped the foot and lowered the needle, felt under the arm with my finger let the needle tap my finger tightened screw cycled machine. It did not pick up the bobbin thread slide bobbin cover over and slowly cycled machine the hook grabbed the top thread slide cover back on, hook does not catch top thread slide cover off, hook catches top thread now I am scratching my head

Thank Guys, Please bear with me as. I stumble along this learning curve I threaded the machine and tried to pick up the bobbin thread. Sigh, it looks to me the timing is off just a scooch. Or a. BCH IMG_3565.MOV

Pre wound? Wow, I have only seen the metal bobbins, here is another concern In the parts diagram it shows a thread tensioner where this threaded hole is. (Middle picture) The machine was threaded when I received it but the thread was run through2 plates just above the threaded hole are The horizontal tension plates adequate? And the missing plates not needed?

I picked up a 29k62 yesterday and I will be having questions as I start to go over this machine. So far. Everything seems to be working. Without thread in the machine the foot and needle seem to be in time and moving the leather I opened the bobbin door and much to my dismay the bobbin was absent, here is what I found

Thank you Wiz I picked up the 29k62 this morning it is missing the bobbin and shuttle hook Do you have a 29k62 parts diagram? and the name of a reliable vender to supply these?

Rex 26-188 what would be the best needle/thread combination for holsters and belts?
