  1. I upgraded the simple cover I had on the Wiss 20W, or W20 if you're buying them vs reading what's stamped on them..., to one made out of leather.

    I got the taper on the top piece a little too wide for the back width I used but it works. The flap that tucks inside catches the nut, or bolt if you flip it that way, a little to hold them more secure.

    The errors really show up when you're using a tri-point needle and have to pull stitches.

  2. Sewing project today was very riveting.

    Handle upgrades for the tubtrugs. I had done one similar to this previously.

    Two 24-inch pieces of 2-inch polyester webbing per handle for some bulk to the grip and to be inside and outside the attachment points.

    Spent more time cleaning around the sewing machine and then fixing the burr on the gib hook from some long ago needle strike causing some balling at the needle would randomly appear sometimes.
