What size bobbin does it take? You should be able to find additional bobbins so you could load multiples to have ready or to have different colors loaded up ready to go

What size is the cabachon

wow someone else that loves gems and leather i love the internet ha ha

Thanks for making the video I also have one of these machines and I find it user friendly and easily modifiable and customizable. I'm always interested in seeing what people have done to their machines to modify or customize it. And interested in seeing what they are making with it. I've made a couple of videos showing what I've done to my machine, thanks again. 😊

This is a great video, and nice looking log. Be aware though, the pdf you’ve made available has your name and aircraft ID already on it.

Chuck I'm so excited I found this channel!

Wow what an amazing tutorial!

Chuck you are amazing my friend!! I would like to customize some of my sneakers and other items . You absolutely read my mind with your explanation of how and why I started looking for a sewing machine. I am a chemical engineer by education however I want to change my image. I found some Louis Vuitton leather and I am planning on making a set of sneaks for myself. The sewing machines are ridiculous expensive so I stopped looking. I was watching a couple on Ebay and all of a sudden a guy offers me one for a price I could not turn away. It will be here in a couple days. Just awesome!!!!

I believe this to be the best video on KZbin about this machine. It is so well thought out, shot, edited and commented. No waffle, excellent clear images, accurate and precise information. Well done Sir! Thank you.

what needles does it take? thanks!

awesome video, thank you!

Well done sir. Succinct well produced content. Extremely useful. I fit the profile you describe at the beginning and will be buying one of these units. I am trying to figure out thread and needles. Largest thread and needle it’s capable of. I would use it to mend and modify various items. Example- recently I used my hand stitching awl to add a webbed nylon loop on my son’s heavy duty “badger” nylon tool belt and now need to restitch a leather tape measure holder. Thankyou thankyou

Excellent job on the video all my questions were answered especially the clocking and timing thank you

I wonder if a hangnnail\cutical naiil clippers wouldn't be useful for those little chads(?)

Thankyou so much Chuck! Wonderful video.

As I watched - could not help but think this o'boy was either a machinist or mechanic based on precise details and how he properly describes the machine parts.

I got lucky and received one that worked great straight out of the box. Minimal manufacturing errors, even a nice green enamel on the frame. Did an entire a cut-and-sew floor carpet on my 75 Land Cruiser with it. Also, stitched some cushions for a chair I build.

i miss the wooden pier.

Just found your channel. I've seen several channels with similar subject matter on YT but yours is by far the best! I especially appreciate how detailed your instructions are and most especially how you call out the exact stamp tool numbers being used. Keep the awesome content coming, sir! Liked, definitely subscribed, and I look forward to your next video! Thank you greatly!

How to get to polar bear real polar bear? So you cut out ice and you cut a hole in the ice and then you put peanuts around it. And then when he tries to get the paintt's kicking in the butt he falls In the ice hole. And then you Caught. a polar bear.

That's just frustrating to watch. I'm sure it's even more frustrating for you to operate it.

😂😂😂😂😂

Can you sew canvas with it?

The first minute of this video might be the most accurate thing I've heard in any YT video. If someone asked where I am with sewing leather goods, I would say what you said word-for-word.

Carving chisels are not useful for wood turning. You need real wood turning chisels.

Nothing 🎉

Your diagrams and figures were awesome. Great production!

Thank you. The best and simple explanation of this machine. Again thank you

Dear, how are you? I have followed you. I have this machine. I have installed it, but when I turn it on, it does not turn on me, and when I remove the bobbin, it works. What is this problem? Can you help me?

Thank you sir for you’re time and sharing this vid to the leather crafters A lot of work went in to this filming and editing and you trialing the machine… Just wanted to let you know I appreciate you Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much. I just saw this on TEMU for $89. You have given me the incentive to purchase.. thank you

Thanks! Nice work.

Thanks for sharing. It was a nice discovery for me. Your detailed directions are appreciated.

Sir I’m planning to do DIY sandal. Is this can do on webbing stitching? Thanks for great reviews

Hi from the coast of NC! I am relatively new to leather working, and just found your channel and wanted to say thanks for your tips and educational videos!

The guy Scott you are talking about. Jerked me around for 4-5 days. Told me my lights would be in the mail that AM. NOT! Then, insult to injury, got my order mixed-up with some woman 3000 miles away, who had a $6,000 drone order and I had to fight with him for a whole day. Firehouse has a good product, but they are one F-'d up business. Customer service is the pits! Beware.......

Very well explained 🤝🏽 thanks alot

Nicely done bud

Fantastic video!! Thank you so much for this very detailed video

As of May 2024 the Brooks B68 is back in production.

It's initially an unfinished peice of well-built junk. But if you spend alot of time with sand paper, a dremel and buffing wheel, scotch Brite, wire brush, and just go thru and get all the scuffs and sharp edges out so it doesn't cut your line and repeatedly get snagged, and learn how to equalize your bobbin and top thread tension for a even looking stich on top and bottom, then your good! Alot of effort, then it's a JEWEL!

Great video! Wish I’d have seen your video when I first got my machine! I’ve since added a gear motor and foot switch. Sewed lots of things with this machine besides leather, including making upholstery such as seats for tractors and 4-wheelers. I even patched a pair of my shoes, lol!

Love that I found your channel

Que pena no entiendo

No entiendo porque no se inglés

Great info. Thank you, sir!

How accurate were these questions compared to the test? (For those who took it)

Extremely clear and concise explanation. Thank you. 👏❤️👌👍

Thank you, Chuck, for posting this. It helped me find my weakness pretty quick!
