I just saw a video this morning of Alexander from Solar Leather. He was showing off a hand operation lever. That was pretty neat.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I saw that also. I didn't think it sounded like something I would use. I an sure there are folks who would like to have one though.

Mutt, Know what? We are fortunate to have all these equipment guys. Bob and Gregg top my list because I've done business with both. Alexander puts up some good info too. He gave me an idea on lighter thread tensions, wasn't his intention on that video but I learned something different. After them, the tier of support here,  in behind their type, is no joke either. May sound like pandering, not. These boys just kick it and save us a ton of grief if we dare pay attention which I am getting better at. Each of them has an area of focus where they excel and yet, they have more overlap than some might think. Started out not even knowing this site existed. Learned some things the the tough way. I'll check out that video. I'll get to Philli one day to blow some dust off something I think is in the far corner. And I'll give Bob an at a boy for putting up with me and keeping me straight. Most importantly perhaps, I give Ferg credit for charging forward when many wouldn't. Man I love that. You young guys with posts exponential to mine and those contributions? Thanks! It all makes a real difference and I appreciate it.

Yep, lucky indeed. Alexander also put up a holster sewing video recently. I'm sure I'm not the only who has posted about videos just sewing scrap? That is taking notice of the needs of future customers. 

I want to see what and how the machines can do the job.

And, cowboy has done a bang up job producing videos, not of just Ryan demoing the machines, but videos on how to fix common problems. That is also helpful.

Someday, I will luck I to a construction project that will produce some fast money, and I already know who I will call.
