Members koreric75 Posted December 31, 2018 Members Report Posted December 31, 2018 This is awesome, but space prevents having one for now... so for now, a long straight edge and an expandable table makes it work Quote Machines currently in use: Cowboy 3200, Adler 67-372, Singer 66, Singer 15-91
bikermutt07 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Posted December 31, 2018 Yep, we're all dumb. Good grief. Quote 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.

Members noobleather Posted December 31, 2018 Members Report Posted December 31, 2018 Thanks for sharing Rocky. Great idea,i was using a stripe of aluminium ,but it is too light moves and is not pinned with screws,so thanks for that idea. Nice sharp round knife too Quote

A light layer of latex glue on the underside might be a further improvement though. Thanks! Quote

HOW DARE YOU, YOU RAPSCALLION!!!! Oh, sorry, I meant, whatever works for you. I find stropping on carborundum, then on flesh side works for me. Also sharpening knives is massively theraputic as you really need to conentrate, and empty your mind of the extraneous claptrap, or you'll need help picking up your fingers.
