Bit of a motley bunch you've assembled! Lol, Thanks for the compliment. I've never been accused of being normal, nor have my friends and business associates. As for the video, I've done better in the past when I used a real camera. I miss my Leica M3, Canons, Rolliflexes and Graflex..

Uwe Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 A tripod and pre-focus will make a world of difference for videos. On the topic of in-line feet for 441 class machines, the make-it-yourself option is available to those who have un-used blanket feet in their parts drawer. I made a set a few month ago for the make-your-own-feet type discussion: I was planning to make some from scratch on my CNC mill, but so far I've only come as far modeling it up in my CAD software and buying some stainless steel stock. Maybe I'll give this little project another push. Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted July 9, 2017 Author Moderator Report Posted July 9, 2017 Uwe, I'd like to conspire with you on the design of the milled inline feet and a slightly raised throat plate to use with them..

Uwe Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 My version is designed to work with the flat harness maker throat plate. I'll have to work with somebody for testing since I just sold my Cowboy 4500. Quote Uwe (pronounced "OOH-vuh" ) Links: Videos

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 10, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted July 10, 2017 My [obvious] question is; Why are they made short (requiring adjustment of position from other feet)? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
Members OLDNSLOW Posted July 10, 2017 Members Report Posted July 10, 2017 I noticed that the one Wiz is showing is using the stock plate on the machine, the one that Uwe is thinking about making works with the flat plate that Uwe was selling and indicating would work with the ones he is thinking of making. So there must be some differences in measurements from the stock to the flat, just my ramblings anyway. Quote

I mean this ↑ Requiring adjustment of the bar. Maybe they originally designed for some other setup? Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Maybe they originally designed for some other setup? I don't think they were made for a different machine. They fit perfectly into the presser and vibrating foot bars. I think that maybe the company had a raised holster plate on the machine when they designed these feet. They would be just the right length for those plates. Or, someone measured incorrectly. I don't speak Chinese so I can't ask them. I don't know if the new ones are the same length as mine, or have been corrected.
