  1. I am using a 1924 singer, that i mounted a motor with foot control on half the time I just hand crank it, it gives me the control that i want, and when i hit a long straight run. i give it the juice
  2. JLSleather, do you know a welder that has a mig machine? some stainless steel nails welded onto a piece of stainless for a handle and you have a quality chisel you might want to use a 14 or 16 gauge nail
  3. Hello Dantan, I am not an expert by a long shot, BUT, I have experienced the same thing. and it caused a day of head scratching and cursing. what i found is that my needle thread tension is set just right on the thinner leather but when i went to a thicker leather the tension needed to be loosened just a tweak. i keep a strip of leather next to my machine that i use to check the tension of the needle thread, i never adjust the bobbin tension also. I use brass eye screws to route my thread from the roll to the machine. it reminds me of inspector gadget's set up but it stops the twisting
  4. I likey likey jelly i am hook me up with that tooling pattern

  7. D2G, I suggest that if you want to buy quality tools to find a company close to your location that will make to order what you require. I myself, am tired of the cheap alloy stamps and am having stamps made from steel machined for me one at a time as i can afford D2G, te sugiero que si quieres comprar herramientas de calidad para encontrar una empresa cercana a tu ubicación que hará pedir lo que necesites. Yo mismo, estoy cansado de los sellos de aleación barata y estoy teniendo sellos hechos de acero mecanizado para mí uno a la vez como puedo permitirme
  8. puedes obtener sellos artesanales en este enlace. Herramienta de artesanía son sellos ok. https://www.tandyleather.com/en/category/craftool-stamps-leathercraft
  9. Motorized my Singer 66. with a motor from a brother It is not industrial But I am not sewing industrial. it is doing a fine job so far
  10. try mixing super glue and baking powder it makes a hard plastic that you can turn in your lathe I make them out of used range brass here is a 8mm x 6.5x55 mm pen
  11. Ok...Before I start on my little mini rant,, This is MY fault for not using the correct tool I am sitting here marking lines on a piece of leather while stamping it with a basket weave pattern. Happy as a bumble bee in spring time. I am using an old wore out ink pen, because i like the feel of the pen and the line it gives. I have been using this pen for over a month SO>>.I pick up my pin and draw a line along the straight edge. DAMN..The pen started writing !!!! Right down the middle of my leather Any dumbaZZ mistakes you want to tell on yourself. ????

  14. according to my buddy. who is the guy you see at gun shows sharpening knives/ scissors Hall's pro edge and Dan's Arkansas stone along with the blue rouge will give you a sharper than razor blade edge after sharpening my deer skinning knife. I shaved with it. just to see if it would. i had a full weeks growth
  15. LOL.....Yes I brought this up...A couple guys want holsters. And YES, I am into reloading and shoot almost every day. I shoot long range plinking at crap 50 feet away just does not interest me. A golf ball 100 yards away is more my style. Do not be concerned about being confused, I live in a state of confusion,
  16. I I never really been interested in pistols. Now, If you Want to talk long guns. you have my full attention. LOL I think the Swedish Mauser's M94 M96 M98 are the most accurate, flat shooting guns made
  17. Seems the airsoft is the same size as the long slide only difference is the length. and that looks like it can be shortened NOT bad...a $6.50 template verses a $50.00 template
  18. I am to cheap/ miserly/ Broke to fork out $50.00 or $60.00 for a plastic template
  19. Does anyone know if the toy guns on the market, are the same shape of the real guns? I know they look the same. and have the red tip But...I was kicking around the idea of using one as a wet form template thoughts?
  20. I dont know about lederhosen.. .but the crotch of a pair of pants makes a nice coin bag just reach in and grab a handfull of Bill
  21. Picked up a brand new pair of cargo pants at a garage sale for 3 dollars. I brought them home and cut the pockets off of them, and made a bag This measures 12'' tall 9'' wide 2'' deep with outter pockets on the front [1] 7'' x 9''' and [2] 4'' x 4''' on the back side [1] 8'' x 7'' and 8'' x 4'' after joining the 2 sides, i stitched in a small veg tan strap with d rings strap to come later the small straps are stitched using a 9 strand cotton string that has been waxed, the phone company uses it to pull wire so far. i have a total of 3 dollars invested in this bag
  22. if parting out at a latter date I am interested in the 4 blue guns
