Another coticule hopefully.
Took a punt on this one, the price was right.
From a chap selling a bunch of vintage surgical equipment, will see.
Plus I really really need another hone..
(that's sarcasm for the uninitiated..)

I decided to take a chance with this little item from The C.H. Ina Company. The stand was garbage and I had some scrap wood around so I made a stand for it.

After a good cleaning with some brake cleaner to get all of the cosmoline off of it, it's not a bad little machine. I have made some mods, but not many.

Not bad for $100 bucks. I can make stitches with it with two fingers thru the leather. I think it's going to be a fun little adventure.
OH! It's nothing new the design has been around in a basic form for some time now.

That is one scary looking contraption. I felt phantom pain in my fingernail similar to what I experienced when I first tried to use my grandmother’s peddle Singer sewing machine.
When I first looked at the pics, I thought it was a scroll saw. Similar design and operation I suppose.
Love to see some photos of the leather goods you produce with it.
I have watched some youtube videos on those little machines with some reviews and mod tips. Seems like a useful machine especially for the price. Keep us up to date Roy!
Update: It arrived the week after Thanksgiving... superb. So much so, that I ordered an additional 10ml decant, along with a 10ml decant of Franck Boclet Tobacco EDP -- they arrived this past Tuesday (the Franck Boclet Tobacco will feature in tomorrow's SOTD).
But wait... there's more! I bought a 100ml bottle of Lalique Encre Noire EDT the other day (hat-tip to Eddy79) -- it's due to arrive next Tuesday.

Well there's no leather work---BUT there is some cloth work.
