@AlZilla, Just an FYI. Pure Neatsfoot oil and Neatsfoot oil compound are two different things. I only use the pure NFO. JM2C, Jim

Can you spell ludicrous? (I had to look it up.) A coozy for an insulated cup!

Well, if you want opinions, I got 'em! Seriously, I think the piping "hides" the stitching on a turned item. It should also protect the thread from abrading if exposed. JM2C, Jim

Worth at least a million bucks. Probably more with inflation.

Don't know how I missed this one. Beautiful Saddle.

It seems to me people are getting too wound up about someone else's work. If I don't (or do) basket stamp the back of a holster, why does it matter to you unless you are the buyer( or the maker). If I don't like how you did your work, who cares unless I am your target demographic? I really am having trouble understanding why this is such a big deal and quite a long running thread. As usual, JM2C. Jim

Welcome to the forum Rob.

I have sewn 2 layers of W&C 2-3 oz bridle leather in a test. It worked much better than expected but the 277 thread that I had on hand was too large. The knot was centered well but somewhat visible from both sides. Looks a little strange. I think 138 would've been much better. Might get by with 207 but I had just gotten it and wanted to try it out. JM2C, Jim

I bought one from @RockyAussie and received it here in good old Oklahoma, USA. Price and shipping time was more than reasonable. Very happy with it. I too haven't taken it off yet. JM2C, Jim

Welcome. Try this. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/29-gun-holsters-rifle-slings-and-knife-sheathes/

Yup, 60's. I blame most of my shortcomings on that now days.

If this has been me, and it has at times. Maybe not to you. At least I hope not. I will apologize anyway. Sometimes I forget, sometimes I get excited and worst of all, sometimes I'm too blamed "hard headed" to take good advice. My point being, it seems to me that some people are jerks on purpose. Others, and I include myself in this group, are jerks by accident. Like Tom Petty said, "I can't decide which is worse." So if I haven't irritated you yet, I'd like to bank this apology for later. I'll also apologize for the post length and run on sentences. JM2C, Jim

He doesn't show one like you're looking for but here is his link. https://www.saltydawgleather.com/shop/20174758/burnisher-and-sander

I think leather would look good on your ATV. I don't think it would wear as well as the HDPE that the fenders are made of. It would prevent scratches to the fenders, though. I wouldn't loosen the joint of the black to red plastic. The black plastic supports your weight when you stand up and gets part of it's support from those connections. Also, bear in mind that my use might well be very different than yours. My plastic had several scratches and eventually cracks from riding the brush, mud and "mountains" of western Arkansas. Still runs like a top, though. We were hard on them. YMMV, Jim

Sorry, my bad. I did not get it. Duh!

Not to rain on your parade, but. . . According to the info that I have, the pistol wasn't designed until 1936. JM2C, Jim

@SUP, You are sooo right! I forgot the link. Apologies.

If you just want a "taste" of Jim Linnell's classes, here is a link to SLC's class that he does. This is for part one. I think it has three. You can watch, pause and watch more. JM2C, Jim(not Linnell)

I have sewn two 10 oz. veg tan. I don't really recommend it. If you do, use SHARP needles. I have a CB4500 for thicker stuff now. I now use it for softer and thinner leather and putting zippers in. I didn't have any interest in a needle positioner, still don't. I'm not sure about this but. . . I think the problem arises when your positioner indexes off the motor. Then the 3:1 reduction messes with your position sensor. I believe that if your sensor indexes off the handwheel of the machine, it should work as designed. I'm not sure, though. There are people on the forum way smarter than me on this stuff. Hopefully, they'll chime in. JM2C, Jim

@ValJ, I replaced the clutch motor on my Juki 562(If I recall correctly, the LU563 replaced the LU562.) with a 550W brush servo motor from https://www.tolindsewmach.com/motors.html also. I did install a speed reducer at the same same time, though. Works great for me. JM2C, Jim

Beautiful work, as usual Randy.

@Chipster99, If you'll tag @WalterF in your question, he'll be more likely to see it. JM2C

It just seems like thicker poster board to me. I think mine was called 6 ply.

@SUP, Since you live in a "cereal free zone", I might recommend "railroad board" poster board. I got mine from Amazon. Works good for patterns. JM2C, Jim

Now, that's a bunch of hooey. What really maters is your Zodiac sign. . .
