@@anarchytelevision8445 Thanks for the feedback. Have you named your machine? I call my CLSP ‘Oscar’ a bit grouchy and temperamental at times but is a champ! Will post a few more videos soon.

@@VP4TD no I haven't named my machine but now that you asked me that I'm going to be thinking about what I should name it, I've done a couple of videos on my channel and you can see what I've got going on, and I'm always interested in what other people are doing with their machines 😊👍🏻

@@anarchytelevision8445 just subscribed. I too love to see what other people have done and what creations they have made with their trusty CLSP. Happy crafting. ☺️

Please share the link where we can get this as it may help others that prefer to buy. Thanks.

Great question. I’ll work on a set of videos to help out. Do you have anything specific you would like to see?

Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi there. This was my first attempt to make a simple sewing guide with weak magnets. I have since worked on another more permanent solution. Check out my attempt on another DIY project in my playlist. Thanks for the feedback.

I work with what I have access to. Thanks for dropping a comment.

Oh yeah. Metal would be better than wood.

Sorry to hear it didn’t work out. I agree these machines are a bit temperamental. What are you using now?

@@VP4TD cobra class 26 and I love that Machine it is worth every penny. I still enjoy hand sewing, but that thing will do the job.(belts👍)

@@bartstewart1807 that’s quite a machine you got there. Definitely another league of machinery. A cobbler and leather crafters’ dream.

Sorry for the delayed response. I use Groz-Beckert or Organ Needles; 110/18 Thread: Vinymo MBT#5 or #8 Japanese Polyester Thread. Not sure what that is for international sizes.

@@VP4TD thanks am presuming you have a machine that takes both round and half flat shank needles? Or are you grinding your Groz Beckerts flat on one side?

@@blackwingvisuals5017 no modifications necessary. I take note of the orientation and it slides right into place.

@@VP4TD thank you for taking the time to reply much appreciated ;^)

I used ‘deep groove ball bearings’ with an inner diameter of 8mm and outer diameter of 22mm. These are normally 7mm in height. If you’re stateside you can get these from Amazon. They’re also likely stocked at your local skateboard shop. The bearing number is normally labelled 608. I hope this helps.

Looks very similar to the bearings used in skateboard wheels.

608 zz

It’s 2cm wide, 6.8cm long. The thickness is 1cm (3 layers of leather; each layer is .33cm thick). I hope this helps.

Many thanks!. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the feedback.

Interesting metaphor - but I like it. 😎

Thanks. Appreciate the comments.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll also consider the title suggestion. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. 🥹

Great question. At the time, I was working with the tools I had (specifically for leather crafting). This could also be done with metal, wood, or even plastic. I initially experimented with a 3D print version which led me to this design.

Stick with the original leather, it seems to work well and looks good. It gives the machine “charm”.

Thanks. I used some heat shrink tubing as it offered better grip as opposed to using tape.

Thanks. Excellent feedback. I started using a washer based on feedback from others as well. This has been a very useful tip.

Sorry, I just made one for this machine. I think there’s a guy selling these on ebay.

Спасибо. Я хотел бы увидеть, что вы разработали. Я уверен, что это выглядит потрясающе. Спасибо за комментарии.

Thanks for the feedback. For this video, I was using Tkt 30 (thin) .35mm (approx) bonded nylon thread with the default factory needle HA x 1 21

I don't quite know how to answer this question. But if you have experience with a sewing machine the principle is the same but this is the very crude version. Rahmat.

Thanks. I have a few videos lined up but have been tied up with other projects. Appreciate the feedback.

Good feedback. This was an attempt to create an edge guide posted in an FB group for CLSP users. I made a personal DIY version (version 2) in another video. Kept the roller since it is still useful for thicker grade leather projects.

I love this tip. Bobbin tension is important to get even and consistent stitching. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree with you. These machines are amazing when you have everything dialed in. But can be quite frustrating when setting it up. I do have machine hiccups at times when I change to a different thread or needle size. I can send you a video of my setup after I run it through what you described in the comments to see how we can help fine tune your settings.

Did you check how far the needle is coming down? Put your finger over the bottom hole on the arm and in the lowest position, you should just feel the tip of the needle. If not, it needs lowered, if it's too low, raise it. If the needle doesn't travel far enough- the bobbin won't pick up the thread.

Thanks! Excellent suggestion and feedback. I got the 3D print file from an FB group and gave it a go. It inspired me to create a DIY version with leather materials, a Starbucks card and other bits and pieces.

Thanks for the feedback. 😅

Soy natural de las Filipinas

Thanks for the feedback. Тварь я дрожащая или право имею?

@@VP4TD Извини старина, не думал что так задену тебя .

@@РахмановЭмиль I love your feedback. Keep them coming. Без труда́ не вы́тащишь и ры́бку из пруда́

@@VP4TD Успехов тебе. Искренне желаю. Да поможет тебе Бог.

Geri bildiriminiz için teşekkürler.

That’s a great question. The closest I can get is around 1/4th of an inch using the edge guides I make. A technique I also use is to sew it as close as possible and then trim off the excess. This is especially handy for Watch straps and smaller leather projects. For the foot, I still try to work mostly with stock settings.

That’s a good suggestion. Do you mind sending a link so that I can see how it is done? Thanks for the feedback.

@ TW Va Where can I get one?

But the diy one is made of leather and gives the machine “character”.

Удивительно. Спасибо за ваши комментарии.

Thanks for leaving your feedback. I love the idea of using aluminum as a guide. Please send me a link if you posted something online.

gracias por tus comentarios

I feel you. These machines are crude, and very spartan. But you also gotta love them. I call my CLSP "Oscar" - despite his gruff disposition - he's a beast and has saved me hundreds of hours with projects not requiring saddle stitching. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback.

I’ll post a link where the 3D print file is located. It is in a Facebook group for CLSP owners and enthusiasts.

The link is inside a Facebook group here: facebook.com/groups/1646031288779869/?ref=share

@@VP4TD Great thank you. I just sent a request to join the group. Thanks again.

@@robhenderson548 I got in the group but cant find the file.... could you help?

@@bobbobbinson1841 didn’t notice this post - sorry. On the top section of the FB group navigate to Files > sewing guide rev2.stl

Excellent suggestion. I have replaced the screw I initially used with a longer one and now have both washers installed (top & bottom).

For this project, I used a hand press grommet machine and removed the dies and replaced it with a small piece of steel. I also used contact cement to glue the pieces together. I created this playlist as a way to share small projects and solutions that showcase what thIs handy CLSP can do.

@@VP4TD Thank you!
