Re:Leather 3 Years, 2 Months ago
You sound like me. I had a friend of my wife that gave us her old sewing machine and I use it to sew all my patches and leather stuff with. I am making my own lowers as well and will try and finish them tomorrow. I try to make all my stuff if I can. Now that is cheap.
