Sewing machines...

What type are used for collars,harnesses,ect...For nylon webbing.Does it take a special industrial strength machine?,or just a heavier needle.?

 

if its more than 2 or 3 layers of denim or similar material you need an upolstery machine like what I have, they range from 300-3000 dollars for high quality machines, Mine is a mid grade machine I got for about 500 bucks used and theres some things I wish that it could do that it cant....use rivets and rivet it ...and drill holes thru your material, thats how I use to make my collars...cheaper by far, Im thinking about going back to riveted collars they are indesrtuctable if you use the right rivets and gun,...

 

thanks ill check the flea market tommorow..

 

where can the seatbelt material be obtained?

 

Check at a Junk yard.It's a gold mine. you should be able to get all kinds of different colors.

 

Yeah the junkyard here is a rip off though like everything a car axle runs about 15-55 its outragously overpriced. any bulk websites sell the stuff?

 

yeah at any material or sewing shop they have a similar material called Polypropelene Fabric or something like that, its comes in black and white mainly... and the woman took me straight to it when I asked for "seat Belt material" and its also 2" wide, Im not sure if its rated like a seat belt but 2 or 3 and especially 4 layers would hold any dog, its like 25 bucks for 20 yards or so...or you could always get a good pair off shoes.... some scissors and go for a jog thru the friendly meighborhood Junk yard on a slash and dash mission....Id be lying if I said I never did that before....lmao

 

Tell the junkyard its just to tie a bulldog up and tell them that a bent one is o'k.....that generally changes things. But sometimes, guys are just dicks and would rather throw something out than help someone out and make some extra $$.

 

Yeah thats how you get the 15 dollar price but if you say its for a car you get the 55 dollar price. The slash n dash sounds nice though i always like free...maybe ill get some top end like off a mercdes or jaguar. lol

 

Man no joke I worked in a Junk Yard in NC named 67 Motors on Reynolda Road, and they made money off of every damn piece of the car, from every bolt to the glass, they can spare it... but they dont want to its all $$$$ to them one way or another, so dont feel bad man they make theirs...trust me they make theirs...go grab ya some seat belts...lol

 

make it fun get a couple buddies drink a couple beers just a couple wouldn't want to impair the running and see who can gather the most and who loses buys beer for the rest
