Durkopp Adler 291

Beside painting it, It´s pretty cool to sew pinstriping motives... The machine easily sews a couple of layers of thick veg tanned leather and it´s great for upholstery work too.. Guess a little nerdy, but this is very exciting :-) Lots of new opportunities is opening up with this machine..

Singer 29k-4 Cobbler for Leatherwork

Got my self yet another Singer 29k sewing machine I´m thinking to use for some leatherwork.. the other one is a Singer 29k-3, and now a 29k-4.. the other one skipped a stitch here and there, oh and guess what, so does this, obviously a common issue.. hmm, that´s the back draw of buying unseen, but I got it pretty cheap tho.

It is pretty cool exept the stitch skipping. I just found out that can be fixed by replacing some small gears, so now I just need to find out what gears, where to get them or who can do it for me..

I like them original with the gold scrolls and stuff on them, but this is repainted black, so I guess it could be cool to pinstripe and gold leaf it since it´s already unoriginal..
