    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?
  4. DieselTech
    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?
  10. DieselTech
    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.
  14. DieselTech
    Can you post a pick or 2. I always like seeing the classic old tools/machines. Thanks.
  15. DieselTech
    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.

    Let us know if you find a sheared key or something else. Yeah that machine would be perfect for thinning wallet card pockets down. If you decide to turn/sell this machine give me a shout. I am hoping to buy a power splitter next year myself.
  18. DieselTech
    Cool deal! & did you say, you got this machine for free? Awesome!
  19. DieselTech
    Good deal. Share some pics if you don't mind. I am wondering if it may have just sheared a key on 1 of the gear sets. Maybe at 1 time it was stuck/froze up & someone forced it & sheared a key. Great find in my eyes if it can be repaired. Thanks.
  20. DieselTech
    Is it really missing the gears?
  21. DieselTech
    Thanks. Much appreciated. That is what I was wanting to know. I was going to make a few lined belts to sell, but was worried about exactly what you described. Thanks.
  22. DieselTech
    1st thing to ask? What kind of money do you want to spend on your edge bevelers? I finally broke down & bought a good set of bevelers. I bought Palosanto edge bevelers from #0 to #3 I can get you the specs on theirs if you want them.
  23. DieselTech
    Nice work. They all look great! I got a question to ask? Do you ever make random belt lengths to sell at craft shows/ leather shows? & if so. What seems to be your hottest selling lengths? Thanks.
  24. DieselTech
    I can think of a couple different ways. But I'm not good at explaining it. But I could show you a couple ways. Let me know.
  25. DieselTech
    Nice work. It looks great. Classy!
