play2mefish Report post Posted June 26, 2020 I finally broke down and bought a manual sewing machine. Doing it by hand all these years got to be a little tiring. Even though I bought a manual sewing machine, it is WAY better than having to drill/punch holes for everything that I do. I mostly make holsters and knife sheaths and sometimes other stuff when asked. I made a bench to mount my sewing machine on one end and on the other end I mounted my knife sharpening tool (Wicked Edge in case your wondering). I modified the bench plans to include the flip up bench to have storage, and my wife made the cushion for me to sit on. Also, hanging off the bench is a holster I made (before the sewing machine) for my Hellcat pistol. And the holster behind the ORANGE gun was done with the machine. Enjoy!

Sturme Report post Posted June 26, 2020 Congrats, i love my boss. I took a week and tinkered with it tweaking the settings. the only issue i had was the spool of tread would get tangled. it was fixed by bending a coat hanger into a hook over the thread and running the thread through it before running it through the tippmann. Also practice winding your bobbins. it is the one thing that will mess you up if its not wound right. Hope you enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
