Yes it is and thank you for sharing make it more easier to follow I appreciate it

Please, David, show us the motor and its controller of the machine. Thank you.

That is one of the best tutorials on the layout of that design I have seen- and I've watched a few. You would have been an excellent shop math teacher.

Good ol David.

I am sure you do pretty good down there in Bandera country. Out here in Tn. no one wants to pay for anything. They always say it just leather. Why the HELL did I leave Texas for the love of a woman. I must have lost my mind.

Trailer and your setup are looking good. Hopefully you do well with sales. I haven't been to Bandera since College when our church put on a camp at the Flying L. Bandera is a neat town.

Can you share what the solution was?

The dimple on the side is for putting in a round felt disc that lubricates the thread by contact.

I just love not being able to see what you're doing. Makes things so much easier.

Can you make a video or short on how to clean and maintain the fleece lining to last longer?

That is so wild

For once the old one trigger is an advantage 😀

Muy bueno el trabajo

Trailer is looking good. Looks like your building some inventory. Hope your shoulder is getting better.

This is the best video on the KZbin's. This video literally saved me thousands of dollars. No joke. Thank you, David Mills!!!!! Your amigo in Central Texas

Awesome technique! Thank you for sharing

Looks like a Vergez Blanchard--a few differences from their current versions, but more similarities than not!

Ooh your videos are making me seriously consider buying one I’ve seen. Would you be willing to make how to set and use, and also trouble shooting videos?

That is a neat machine, I want one. I have an old motorized blade splitter, can''t think of the name right now. I like that this machine doesn't smoosh the leather down as it drives it through. Also, wondering, how parallel does that center roller keep it to the knife? I hate that about mine, that, or it will finish thinner than it started.

11 1/2 - 12 oz means nothing to people that don't know a lot about leather. It would help if you said the actual thickness. But still a cool video.

If your like me. that would be the first mistake you ever made & still waiting to make the 2nd one. LOL.

How's your shoulder? Better I hope.

That's awesome. It's a second one of your little band knives, right? What a cool tool. Sometime I'm going to have to drive from NM to Texas and play with all these leather tools that you restore.

I did buy a potentiometer to slow this down!

It might be a little fast!

Can I ask what kind of converter did you use for the power and does all the motors run off it?

Finger edger😂

Never seen one thanks for sharing!

Excellent work. Impressive for sure.

I really like it! Sell me a set of plans? Not only no, but hell no, I know.... David, you rest that arm and shoulder dang it! You have too many cool tools to put back to use, and leather accoutrements and saddles to make. Take it easy!

It shows the love you put into it !

My favourite

Wow it looks terrific so far

I like this saddle

Looking great

I’m on po week 7 . I’m still wearing sweatpants. Still having some pain, but I’m better. Hope you are doing better by now. I’m convinced this is the worse surgery. It takes so long to recover.

I like your happy disposition and your tool skills

Good luck David! I know how frustrating the recovery time can be for these surgeries. With any luck, this one will work. Don't use that arm!

Good luck with the shoulder surgery. I know what kind of hell it can be. God Bless.

Where did you get the guide that is newer than the machine. I have one just like it.

That spot is for a felt pad to lube thread

Saludos

When you want to sell one of these saddle stitching machines, you'll let me know? Lol. These are too cool, David. Thanks for showing us how to wind the bobbin.

Cracks me up seeing this is in your kitchen. Give me a few years, and I'll be just like you. A few years and some bargain machines!

That's a better stitch than my Cobra class 4. Wanta trade????????????

Man, that machine makes a beautiful stitch! I guess that's why everyone I have seen listed for sale is so expensive.

I'm sorry your surgery failed, that must be incredibly frustrating. You can hang out with your sister's good dog some more. I'm wanting to see this splitter in action!

We had one that had been leased for 53 years, it needed to be rebuilt which cost us a thousand dollars in 1980. They offered it to us for $2,500 when we decided to end our relationship.

A real classic machine.

I need to visit you David, so you can show me how some of these great old machines work!
