1st oak leaf! How ugly is it?
DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Floral and Sheridan Carving
I used a tap off on mine, instead of drawing it. I'm terrible at drawing or to OCD I guess. But yeah you could draw/cut your acorns any way you see pleased. -

DieselTech replied to DieselTech's topic in Floral and Sheridan Carving
Thanks. I'll give that a try. I just got into leather carving & I'm learning. That was me wanting to play with my new stamp tools too. Lol like a fat kid in a candy store. -
Thanks Frodo. I appreciate your time & knowledge. I want to get into making bags & that's the reason for my curiosity. Great looking bag. Looks awesome. Thanks.

Thanks I appreciate it. I cant believe needles make that big of difference in stitch looks. That really opens my eyes up a bit.
-
Thanks for sharing your work. Beautiful work I must say. What is the LL needles? Are they special shaped or something? Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah I decided to get the cobra class 4 1st, but a am going to buy me a 206rb-5 after I acquire my play money back from the Cobra purchase.

I think it would be a neat piece to own. Especially if it works & has survived this many years. Back when they made stuff to last. Unlike our throw away society today. Cool piece of history.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to eventually buy a consew 206rb-5 it seems from all I hear a good machine. Yeah my next adventure is going to be making holsters. I've made lots of 6 shooter holsters, but want to get into vacuum formed friction fit auto holsters. Yeah I probably am using way overkill on my thread choices. I been reading about stitch length versus thread size & I'm way off from what most people use. I got more to learn for sure. Lol as long as I dont sew my hand to my project I'll be ok. Thanks again. I sure enjoy seeing your holster work.

I'm no help! But I do have a question? Is a bag like that sewed inside out & then flipped after the sewing is complete? Thanks.

Beautiful looking piece! Straight up artwork! Looks great. -
Ok thanks.

Thanks kgg, Do you by chance know what a cobra class 4 weighs? I read somewhere they weigh 600lbs, do you know if this is true? I will just stick to my original thought/plan & order the class 4 machine. Thanks I appreciate you helping me out.

Awesome work on the solo seat. Nice tool work also. Love it. Do you make your own seat pans to? Is it glued then laced to your seat pan. I got a seat pan for a 1947 schwinn I would like to recover. Thanks. You do great work.

Thanks kgg on the lengthy informative write up. I appreciate your time & knowledge. Lol I'm kinda like the blind leading the blind at this point. The only reason I was going to buy a cobra class 4 was of all the accessories offered for it. Also because it seems to be the go to machine for most professionals. Plus I think I will need a cobra class 4 for making pistol holsters & i believe that machine will run 346 thread. I'm just trying to get a small shop up & running & debating which is going to be the way for me to go as of now. I got the money now to buy a Cobra class 4, but thought the Consew 206rb-5 might be a better machine to sew my wallets & belts on. I have been saddle stitching everything by hand & sew everything with 346 thread & like the looks of that thread size. Maybe it's way overkill for wallets & belts. I thought maybe I should get the consew 206rb-5 first & then save back up for the Cobra class 4. If there is a better machine for less money I'm all about that too. I've talked with Patrick1 about buying all the extra presser feet, feed dogs & plates for the cobra class 4 to be able to sew lighter projects with. Do you got any recommendations or words of wisdom? I will be more than happy to listen & here yours thoughts. Thanks.

Guys & gals I'm wondering if any of you use a Consew 206rb-5 sewing machine for leather work? What would be the best way to have it setup? I was looking at having the 1hp brushless servo motor installed with a 60mm pulley & needle positioning system. Will that make it slow enough to control or should I get a speed reducer with it as well. Will it be a reliable machine setup with 138 thread size? Could you possibly run 207 thread thru that machine & get a reliable running machine? What presser feet & accessories should a person get? For wallets & belt type work? Drop down guide for sure. I'm wondering if this machine would get me by till I can get my cobra class 4? Or should I just wait & purchase the cobra class 4. Or would it be better to have both the Cobra class 4 & a Consew 206rb-5 sewing machines? Thanks any & all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The buckle guy has them in solid brass.

Send them back to weaver & have them sharpened.

Guys & gals I'm just getting around to buying some better tools & machinery for my leather work. I'm curious how many of you own & use a creasing machine. Can any of you elaborate on what it can all be used for? Other than putting a fancy crease line on you work. Does it take a heated creasing machine to burnish chrome tan leather? I mainly work with veg tan. But I got some veg re-tan & it will not burnish. Can this machine also be used to make a creased fold in leather? I was looking at the regrad machines, but I cant see paying the $130-$150 per tip. So I was looking at the tandy pro model crease machine. Can some of you professional seasoned leather workers give me some input. Thanks any & all help will be appreciated.
