Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

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..

...

Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-Distortion Ultra Wide Lens, Sony E, Sony, Black)

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.

When I was 17 I got a job with a guy that installed sunroofs in cars, he also fitted vinyls to car roofs.

There were only two of us and we used a sewing machine like yours to sew the three pieces of vinyl together so the car had two neat seams along the roof.

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.

The Encre Noire is what I like. I have had mine for a few years now.
I also have been trying some of the Tobacco scents. I like them.

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