Apparently my post was offensive, so disregard.

No offense here…if it was me you were referring to. I text David Mary quite frequently abt different things. Please don’t think I didn’t take your advice. I listen to all.

Oh no. Not you.

Picked up this Weaver Cub yesterday used! It's one of the steel versions, and is nice and beefy! It came threaded with much lighter thread, so I spent the day tweaking the tension and learning how to use and not use the machine.



2 layers of veg tan, pre dyed 8/9 cowhide and 1 layer of veg tanned water buffalo 8/9 oz. Learning how to turn corners and back stitch and figuring out the backstitching. I may saddle stitch by hand to do the back stitching?


Didn't get pics, but I played this morning and added in a 4th layer of 8/9 veg tan water buffalo and then a 5th layer, machine handled it no problem and sewing thru 5 layers of 8/9 oz didn't feel much different than going thru 2 layers of 8/9 in terms of hand cranking the wheel. 5 layers was going really well until I ran out of thread on my bobbin...lol!

That's awesome, I've got one of those cheap Chinese hand cranked jobs, and it's kinda a POS. That thing looks like a heck of upgrade from the one I have. Did you get a good deal?
