    Just picked up a Mini Brute Industrial Sewing Machine - supposedly only used once to make a gun holster. $150 - appears to be worth $400.

    Thoughts? Anyone know anything about these?[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Now that's a heavy duty sewing machine. It's got to be tough to sew sew leather. I think that was a great deal.

    I can just hear my grandfather saying "well proof's in the pudding".

    Ha - anyhow this bad boy should come out and help me finish my jacket. Making an Anorak of sorts similar to Lester River Bushcraft style wool pull over.

    Here is a pic of the style I hope to make - blue and yellow as the colors. 3 Layer though. Outer shell wool Melton fabric (think civil war reproduction uniforms) argon wind break material as middle layer, and inner insulation from fleece[​IMG]

    Nice. That looks to be more coplicated than a quilt. Do you have a pattern?

    Yes an no. I have an Anorak pattern but it's not exactly like this. Also the anorak pattern doesn't have any sizing on it. It was just generic, much too big.
