Paladin51 Report post Posted July 25, 2015 My grandparents ran leather shop since mid 70's to mid 90's and had this machine.Was bought by my uncle who ran few years and I acquired it about 9 years ago. It has sat for last 13 years or so and am wanting to make knife sheaths and holsters. Will it do the job? Also is so dirty with caked on oil etc how be best to clean it up? Did these have a table with it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They use light thread and can only sew into between 1/4 to maybe 5/16" of leather. You can totally forget about making sheathes and holsters with it.
