  1. 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
  2. HA Damn Wally world has everything now!!!!!!
  3. 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?
  4. A friend in Denver found a Rex machine on CL Rex 312-140 does anyone know what this machine sews?
  5. 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
  6. EXCELLENT advise

  12. 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,
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. 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?

  21. Found a old cell phone holder that is so far out of date that it fits the new I -14
  22. Knives like any tool have different uses. You are not going to find a blade that will do everything. It is a tool, blades can be ground on the left or the right so you need one of each. Thin blade? Thick? Pointed? Round? A blade is as personal as a pair of shoes. You have to try them on to see what you like. My advice? Snap off utility blade at any lumber yard for 6 bucks
  23. Yes, update, I went to the house where the machine is. I was taken to a garden shed. When the door opened I was looking at a complete leather shop, everything is for sale, leather, hand tools, press machine, tons of patterns etc etc, I hit paydirt,
  24. Any weapon you choose is not worth the money it cost with out training to teach how, when, of weapon use that weapon is a fantastic idea as long as she is also enrolled in a self defense class. Around here, You can get self defense training at the gun range , They teach all aspect of self defense from sticks to simi auto parts
