I want a synchronizing 90° binder, but they are are about $700-$900 I believe for the 441 or 341 sewing machines. I ordered a swing away binder setup, that I am going to try & adapt to 1 of my machines for now.

I got the Cobra class 4 & the Cobra class 26 sewing machines. I bought the table tops for both machines, just because it's the thing to do Right? I have used the class 4 table top for belts & rifle slings, but it probably really was not needed. I can get you measurements for both table tops if that is what you need. I think the reason for me, buying the table tops was for piece of mind. I have them if needed. I am actually wanting to set both machines up for edge binding. Again piece of mind thing for me.

Thanks. I appreciate the positive feedback. For not handling my leather tools for over a year, the wallet turned out pretty nice.

Well other than the drunk driver behind the sewing machine. It turned out Ok. 1st thing I have sewn with the Cobra class 26, boy do I need a lot more practice.

I was going to mention the Grizzly granite inspection plate/platen. But after I seen the $199 freight. I was like nope. Stone was $155.

I think this is what you are looking for. They are kinda of pricey. They are made in Italy so hopefully you can find them over there.

I recommend saving your money & just purchase a Cobra or Cowboy. If you can hold out that long. I bought a Cobra Class 4, then waited a couple years & then bought a Cobra Class 26. I couldnt be happier with my purchase of the Cobra machines.

Thanks Cattleman's! I appreciate it. We will see what you think of it after a bit. I had a wonky piece of leather I believe & there was a few spots that would not take dye very good. But after dying & antiquing it, I like the effect or results of it. Lmao I will just tell my friend that his wallet is wonky like him.

I wish you was closer to me. I got a 18x36 or a 18x24 slab a 1.5" thick I would give you.

Thanks. I thought earlier I had ruined all my nice work. I tried a new Fiebings Saddle tan dye & my leather turned black & kinda splotchy. I was freaking out at 1st, but it is going to be a beautiful color once dry. So far it is lightening up & the splotches are slowly disappearing.

Thanks TomE. Yeah I have kinda been slacking here lately. I am hoping at some point I can make some horse tack as nice as the stuff you make TomE.

Ridgeback beat me to it. But I was also going to recommend Conceria Walpier Buttero in Chestnut.. It is some very nice leather & would be great for that.

Thanks. Yeah I have been meaning to use Don's quilted technique on a project.

Ok guys. It got the the best of me! Maybe I got carried away. I pebble back grounded around the bass & initials. I then decided to use a tufted diamond in the center. I think it still looks OK. I am happy.

I do everything on here off my phone. But I usually resize to 760x800, but sometimes I have to rotate them as well.

I'm not sure I can draw that. The bass pattern is a tandy special, lol I can't draw. I am thinking about using a pebble back grounder around the bass & initials. Do you think I should put something in the center panel of the wallet? Or just leave it blank? Thanks.

Nice work. It looks great! She should love it. I think pictures post sideways depending on your picture size selection. From resizing photo I think.

Only thing I am not happy about is my fish was not centered in it's window. Again my fault, cause I tooled the fish, then decided to add a southwest style border to it. Time I background it, it might all blend/flow better together.

Thanks. It is much appreciated. Lol I am really surprised it turned out this good. I improvised on a couple tools I did not have, but close to what it called for.

Guys & gals it has been a while since I have posted anything. Been like a year since I have had a swivel knife in my hand. Boy I'm Rusty! Lmao like I was any good before. This is my very 1st figured carved fish. It's supposed to be a large mouth bass. I am pretty Dang proud of this! I know my friend will like it too! Well how bad is it? I am a long way from being done.

I would do as Ridgeback suggested. I think the reason that strap broke, was because they sewed across the top of the strap above the rivet.

Nice work. They all look great! My favorite 1 is the holster with the coin concho.

Thanks shoepatcher! I appreciate it. I wasn't sure on what the class 26 used. Everybody seems to refer to it as a 341 hybrid machine.

Nice work. Looks good! The Punisher!

I dip dye with fiebings pro dye. I let my project sit in the dye for 3-5 minutes & get good results. Just make sure if you are dip dying to let your project dry on a perfectly level surface till dry.
