The Consew 206rb-5 sounds like quite the sewing machine. I'm almost wondering if I would get more use out of it over a Cobra Cass 4. I have read that some people step down 1 needle size for a given thread size & they say their machine sews/performs better. I get lost when it comes to the different needle series for different types of machines. I appreciate your help & knowledge. Wish sewing machines weren't so dang expensive. Thanks.

That's Sexy! Them 2 colors look great together. Nice work. I like it!

Thanks Hags I'll look into it. I'm looking for a inch or so bigger stamp, with just my name & location. Or maybe they offer free design session & I'll get something fancy. Thanks for the help.

Guys & gals who could I purchase a custom makers stamp from? Something I can set with a big maul? Preferably a stainless steel or brass constructed stamp. What does something like this cost? $100+ dollars? Any & all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Where you located? U.S? What would it take to own it? Do you got idea what it's worth. I like old stuff like that. Thanks.

For your belt length, use a online belt length calculator. You will need to know all your pulley diameters before ordering a belt using a belt length calculator.

I was wondering if the 206rb-5 would handle 207 thread. Basically if it's got some wear the 206rb might sew with a 207 thread is what you are saying. Thanks. I appreciate your input.

Thanks for sharing your expertise on your bag construction. I appreciate it.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate your time and knowledge. It looks like a Consew 206 RB-5 will be my next major purchase. Thanks everyone.

May I ask what that machine was originally built for? & what era was that machine. That's soo cool seeing that machine in action. Thanks.

Just awesome & beautiful work. May I ask how you got your side corners of the bag, formed at 90°? Thanks.

Thanks I appreciate your input, I'll look into some clay Miller stamps for figure carving.

That's the 1 I keep leaning towards. Is 138 thread size max thread size on a Consew 206 RB-5? Thanks for your input & knowledge.

Your belt Looks great! & yeah I've been teaching myself & watching a lot of tutorials on floral/Sheridan style leather carving. For my 1st project I'm thinking oak leaves & acorns for a belt. May I ask what all tools you used on your belt? I know you probably used beveler stamps for sure, but what else style stamp/figure carving tools were used? Thanks.

Forgot to throw in the Consew 206 RB-5, Maybe this machine might fit the bill as well.

Guys & gals what would be a good sewing machine to buy that is 138 thread capable? I was looking at the Artisan 797 or a Cowboy 797, maybe a weaver 303, or maybe the Sailite leatherwork machine. What sewing machine would be good for 138 thread & sewing wallets, card holders & other flat work? I'm looking for a smaller machine to compliment my Cobra Class 4 I'll be getting in March. Are there any cheaper sewing machine alternatives to the machines I mentioned above? Thanks any & all help greatly appreciated.

That was unreal !!! What machine was that they were using to sew thru a coin. Plum Nuts!!!

Nice work. Looks great! I love it.

That looks Great! Nice work. Tooled belts look soo nice.

Welcome to the group! Cant wait to see some of your upcoming projects. Bunch of good people here.

I think I understand what you are telling me, & I will try it when the stamp shows up. Hopefully Monday all the stamp tools I ordered will be here. I'm just itching to try them.

I would contact leather machine co. & see if they could walk you thru retiming it. I watched a few videos of the class 4 timing & on that machine there is 3 seperate adjustments to set timing.

Welcome to the group! Bunch of good guys & gals on here willing to help out.

Thanks. Definitely if you run across a pic & willing to post it, I would love to see it. I need to figure out what type of antiquing dye/gel I will need next. Thanks for the input & knowledge.

Lol I thought it was Happy Wife=Happy Life.
