Guys & gals I'm looking to add another sewing machine to my arsenal of tools. I got a Cobra class 4 & while I can "dumb it down" for 138 thread & lighter materials. I would like to add another machine that can be setup for the lighter thread & materials. What's your thoughts on the Cobra class 26? Will the machine be happy for 138 thread? Is there other machines I should take a look at buying instead? I will be using this machine mostly for wallets & card holders, belts & such with the flatbed table top. Thanks. Any & all help greatly appreciated.

Looks good. Nice work. Welcome to the group.

I'll look thru my belt craftaid patterns & see if I have that one. I believe that's 1 of the patterns I could not find. But I'll look in the next day or 2.

I would want either a 12"-18" leather splitter or a giant clicker press & dies.

I guess I'm the odd duck out! I use Weldwood contact adhesive. Good stuff, but stinks the shop up. I believe it can be thinned with acetone.

Looks good! Nice revamp.

Got any black walnut trees? Use the walnut hulls to make a dye. You can make the dye from brown to black depending on how long you extract it. Just soak the hulls in water. The longer the walnut hulls soak the darker the dye will get.

You can get a nice edge on the rotary blades with this sharpener.

Chartermade blades I believe offers MagnaCut. I know Leather Wranglers offers leather knives in MagnaCut.

Yeah I believe there is 2 people that I know of. I believe they offer Magnacut steel. Lmao now I just need to think of their names. BTW they are not cheap. $300-$450 dollar a knife.

Double your 5-6oz leather for a 10-12oz leather. As others has stated, I like my leather for tool sheaths & such, made out of 9-12oz leather.

Use some gum tract & a heavy thick drinking glass & then slick. Lightly damp it with some water & saddle soap & slick. Just don't get too crazy when slicking & it should not effect your tooling. Or at least I dont think it would.

I love my stamps Tim did for me. I got 2 makers stamps a 1" & 1½" For setting I bought the big Barry king maul I can't remember for sure, but I think it is 32oz. I know if you don't case your leather good enough, the 1½" sometimes takes a couple hits.

Looks good Stew. Nice work! Lot of color there.

Ok thanks. I appreciate it. Lol I got to look I may have bought it.

Nice work on them sheaths. Them are nice! If you don't mind what background tool did you use with the oak leaf? Beautiful knives! Thanks.

Yeah that top 3/8 size stamp set is 1 I've been wanting for a while now. There is bunch of his stamps I want. Or if it's not that stamp it's 1 similar to it. Maybe later this year!

Nice work. They look great!

Nice looking machine. I think if you back press on your pedal it will stop the needle in the up position. What will the techsew 2750 handle thread size? Thanks.

I think the thread zapper ll is the better of the models offered. I heard the tips can eventually burn up. But replacement tips are available.

Nice work. Looks beautiful. Gotta love that Buttero leather!

Also another thing about bbq is it's messy. So I would want some type of leather that is easy to clean up.

Nice work! I like them. I always tie my end off around the bobbin. But that gets to be a PITA everytime switching bobbins. Great work. Them look handy.

Thanks I appreciate it. I'll see if I can run them tools down.

Nice work! Beautiful rig! It looks great!
