    @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. . .

    How about fiberglass rods?

    Just an update. My antivirus did not like it. I assume that it was just from an unverified host but wasn't willing to take the risk. (Been there, did that and got the T-shirt.)

    I'm downloading it and going to see how far it is above my abilities. How much success have you had with it? Can you create laser ready files with it?

    I think what @bruce johnson was saying is that you determine the correct angle for a given basket weave stamp. The idea (or ideal) is to set your angle up so the bottom corner of your stamp starts at your bottom border for each line of stamps. Bruce, feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. JM2C, Jim

    Ubetcha!

    Sorry I missed this. Good to hear from you again, Jonas. Sorry to hear about the illness. Hope all is well now. Pet damage is maddening sometimes. It seems like you have taken a "philosophical point of view". It has been my experience that it is much harder to train humans than animals. Jim

    I'm gonna say that my CB4500 (which as far as I know, is the same machine) is about 40 inches wide and 26 inches deep. Hope this helps. Jim

    Very funny. I'm no muzzle loader but I think they lube their bullets with it.

    I have always heard rendered pork fat called lard. I do have some bear tallow mixed with bees wax that a friend gave me. He uses it shooting his muzzle loading rifle. He swears the stuff never turns. I don't know. I've had what he gave me for about a year. I've used it here and there. It hasn't went bad on me yet. JM2C

    pouch type bag

    jrdunn replied to Asavva's topic in Show Off!!

    @Asavva, How is your friend liking the bag? I started thinking about making it and wondered if while carrying it the handle might open the bag? Loosen the drawstring. When I start considering a project, sometimes I overthink it. Thanks, Jim

    That's nice looking! Where did you get it?
  23. jrdunn
    I can't think of anyone.

    You guys are great! You start with a great looking bag and just keep enhancing it. I wasn't looking to make one of these but y'all are getting me in the mood.
