Can you show us a pic of the leather you are using? Mulesaw might have already mentioned it, but chrome tan & oil tan leather will not take & hold a stamp impression

I use 4&5mm diamond chisels from weaver. I was planning on buying some KS Blade diamond chisels, but I haven't yet. They are expensive.

Lmao i am getting weak!!!

Holy Bat Azz Robin!!! This thing is fn heavy. Came in a wooden crate! Going have to file a worksman comp claim!!!

@Yukonrookie you might also check out: Rons Tools he makes a bunch of different styles of edge bevelers. He makes nice stuff..

Sorry for not replying sooner. I know you asked me this earlier on this. I'll try my best to show you & explain. Here is a #3 Palosanto edger on 10-12oz brown Latigo leather. As you can see in the pics it kinda cuts like a 45° angle. But if you sand the edges lightly it will give it a nice rounded edge. Here is some pics with "No Sanding" on the edge. I just beveled it & took some pics.

Thanks. So did you have clicker cutting dies made or brass embossing stamps? Weaver about 6 months ago or so, opened a shop for custom cutting dies for clicker presses. Or they got hammer type cutting dies. Here is what they will be making cutting dies for. Vertical & horizontal wallet card pockets.

Well guys & gals I decided to try Weavers Custom Die Shop to make 4 wallet card pocket dies. Has anybody else tried them? I set my patterns off this morning for the dies I want made. I got a rough quote of $75/die. So we will see.

What are you actually wanting? Dimensions for the pedestal stand? Did you get the speed reducer pulley & bracket? Thanks.

I was told every time you have the throat plate off. You got to adjust it so the feed dog don't contact the sides of the throat plate. I think you just need to readjust your throat plate. Also leave the throat plate a touch loose & cycle your machine by hand to help align it. Then hold the throat plate as you snug the screws.

That machine has seen a lot of sewing. Great old machine thou.

I circled it in blue. Does that turn with the hand wheel?

I got 1 question. When you turn the hand wheel? Does the connecting belt on the right side turn with the hand wheel? I am no sewing machine mechanic. But I am Diesel technician. Thanks.

I know you do exceptionally nice stuff. It is hard to make a recommendation without the knife in my hand. If that makes any sense. But I am curious what others might recommend.

Are them knives what they refer to as a chore knife? RK you make some nice stuff! If it were me & these were chore/work knives to be used around the farm/ranch. I would make sheaths a bit longer & wet form more around the handle. So the knife sits a bit deeper in the sheath for more retention. They look great to me as is.

Ok thanks. I looked on his sight & ordered a couple of his pattern books yesterday. I will have to go back & look at his digital downloads. Thanks. Much appreciated.

Thanks. Yes if you get time & can post a few more pics, that would be great. I would not mind seeing what the chewed/chipped up gears look like. Keep me in mind when & if you decide to move it down the road. P.M me. Thanks.

Something like this?

Would that be the timing belt possibly?

Do you think it is something about the black dye with rub off? It seems like it is a re-occurring question asked on here & it always seems to be black. Or do you think it is more to do with how it was applied?

Looks nice! I looked today for a pattern/line art of the feathers & arrow belt. Is that by chance a digital pattern? Or is this your artwork? Thanks.

I am wondering if you possibly got too much neats foot oil in the belt. Usually 24-48 hours is sufficient for the neatsfoot oil to distribute thru the belt. I would wipe it down with a rag & acetone & then let it dry completely. Then check it for dye rub off. Others may have a better solution.

Can you post a pick or 2. I always like seeing the classic old tools/machines. Thanks.

Looks nice! That's is going to be a awesome belt.

Guys & gals I been wanting a clicker press for mainly T-pockets for wallets. They are timely to make to me. So I was looking into cheap clicker presses, till I can afford a big one. Well I went ahead & ordered 1 in hopes it would do my T-pockets & 4" square coasters. What do you guys & gals think? Will 1.5tons be sufficient? Thanks.
