  1. Maybe . . . you are what I have heard called an optomist. I have never seen one but have heard of them.
  2. Thanks for posting that! I think I'll make one.
  3. Undeberg, Don't use the Python. I own both and don't think it will get you very close. JM2C Jim
  4. When you get ready for a servo motor, I suggest Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine. He's a great guy to do business with. JM2C Jim
  5. Here is another thread that does include some patterns for the "Doc Holiday holster". Other "Doc" holster thread
  6. If you like them, PLEASE DON'T USE MR MUSCLE. There are warnings about getting it on your skin and leather is, well, skin. Here is a link to the SDS for Mr Muscle: Mr. Muscle SDS link Just my 2 cents, Jim
  7. Seems like an understatement.
  8. Very nice shop. Nice wallets too.
  9. Very nice! Not really my cup of tea, though. I do admire the work.
  10. Sorry, I meant to say "two belt sheaves on the flywheel", not "two fly wheels".
  11. Sheila, I too felt the "pull" of the round knife. I found a lot in Al Stohlman's "LEATHERCRAFT TOOLS, How to use them, How to sharpen them". It covers how to fit it, how to use it and how to sharpen it. It has helped me, although I'm certainly not proficient with it. JM2C. Jim
  12. Ah, thanks Bob. I found one on Youtube and it scared me silly after "lipping off" about making one. It is definitely outside my skillset. Take a look. https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=crmas&ei=UTF-8&p=singer+pedal+sewing+machine+base#id=4&vid=874af4c19e54daa0c5179a7a3c1f3c3e&action=view I might be able to cobble something together along the lines of the picture you posted. I'm not saying it'd be anything near pretty. Jim
  13. I know this an old thread but does anyone have a picture of the Singer Pedal Base? I have a 29K71 on a treadle base and enjoy using it. I would definitely consider making one. Jim if you're still active here, I would appreciate any information you could provide. Thanks
  14. PJOH, I know you can buy new but if it is functioning well, improved might be another matter. I have a 29K71 (short arm, small bobbin version). It's not as pretty as this one but is a pleasure to sew on. I'll admit I do enjoy treadle sewing. JM2C
