I've only made him one and that was 8oz. leather with rivets. He lunges frequently on his leash and I'm afraid the rivets will come apart. He now wears a nylon heavy duty collar. I have a Tippmann now but haven't tried making a collar with it yet.

then try Chicago screws with a dab of Loctite or superglue on the threads.. Or copper rivets...Doubt if he'll bust either of those....

I'm jealous of your Tippman <g>... I have an old Singer 111W155 that works well, within it's limits, but I seldom use it cause I haven't had a lot of time to learn to sew straight <G>. I need a "real" guide for it instead of the little "T" shaped thing. But so far the only one I've found comes from Korea, I think, and from what I understand requires drilling and tapping holes to mount it. Haven't wanted to expend the effort right now <g>...

TomG; My old 111w155 sews a perfectly straight line if I feed the leather at a slight angle. If I try to feed it straight, it will pull to one side. Same pull with right or left toe.

They like to "help" out at time, as well. I had a wooden swivel knife that had been recently finsihed get chewed up by them the one time. We were out running errands and had to run into someplace for a few minutes, so I left it up on the dash of the car. Rather close to the windshield, I might add, so it took a bit of work to get to it. I suspect it was the bigger one that originally pulled it down and then they shared the new "toy" after that point.

I was not very happy about that incident, to say the least.

It's a good thing that it was only bookmark and not a big project you were working on for someone.

Hmm.. I think I noticed that at one time. I now have my servo motor turned down so far, it's almost doing a single stitch mode.

Hmmm maybe we need a "show us your dog" thread

I had to button stitch a new nose on Wilbur today and she chewed some wood trim downstairs...ahh the preteen years of doghood

This is my best friend Bruno, I call him Bruno the Wonder Dog, mostly because he is always wondering about something. He has mostly grown out of his mischief years now but has been positively identified as an Excavator/Chipper Shredder mix. When he was a pup he ate my favorite welding cap, the patio carpet, the trim around the patio door.........you get the idea. Like most dogs he likes to shred sticks into pulp but his favorite sticks are freshly cut Crape Myrtle, preferably 12 to 14 feet long, he actually cuts these down himself. Leather (or wood) scraps on the floor of the shop are as good as gone when he comes to visit me out there.
