Introducing Myself

[Gfei]

Just want to say hello to everyone. I don't actually do any leather work (so far, not that I need another hobby), but the information on industrial machines available here is some of the best I've found on the internet.

I've been doing some work repurposing old horse blankets and my domestic machine wasn't up to the job. I recently acquired an old Singer 111W155 that I'm in the process of refurbishing. It's in good shape overall but the timing belt was in multiple pieces and the safety clutch and upper pulley it rides on were both a rusty mess.

Here's a set I made my daughter for Christmas using my Bernette B79. It got it done, but sewing threw all that blanket/canvas/lining/webbing was a struggle.

These look nice!  And welcome from SE Wyoming!
