Treadle machine

Recommended Posts

Are there any older treadle or hand powered machines that can sew up to 30oz of leather? 

I predominately will use it for bags, belt straps and maybe the occasional holster.

You can also retrofit many machines with a custom-engineered pedal drive solution:

There was another thread discussing off-grid sewing options:
