Show Off Your Bench, Organization, Workshop, And Such...
gtwister09 replied to nmlvaio101's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Here's another thread... http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=37488entry231893 Regards, Ben -
Julia, A lot of people use pigskin for the lining of fenders. In asking around I have heard weights from 2-6 ounce. Many of the older saddlemakers that I have talked to used it exclusively for that purpose rather than latigo. Regards, Ben

Cheryl, Tried it with three different browsers and all of them bring up the PDFs. Do you allow viewing of PDFs inside your browser. You can always right click and save them. Regards, Ben -
There are two different versions of the Knurlmaster...standard and deluxe. I have tried some of the knockoffs and they generally don't work as well. These are generally made to touch up existing knurling but I have used them to cut new ones as well. Here's one place that sells both versions but there are plenty of others that sell them. It also lists the additional sets of pattern knurls for the deluxe kit. http://mdmetric.com/prod/meda/medatoolsupply/columnar8018.html?cat_id=1612&&category_site=MEDATOOL Regards, Ben

Trox, You are quite welcome. I am really glad that you found the thread, needle and material information inside. It helped me greatly as I compiled it years ago and has helped some other people over the years even those who didn't have an Adler. Regards, Ben -
