There will be some blatant advertising on here of things I'd like to move on, but also there will be lists of hard to find leather machine manuals, like the Pearson no 6, Singer 132K6, Adler 20 series, Singer 45K, BUSMC Pilot, BUSMC A1, Campbell Cycline.... all free to download, no catches, no fake sign ups etc.

I'm also hoping for find manuals for machines that I don't have.. like the Campbell Bosworth, Bauer, Campbell-Randall, Adler 5 class, BUSMC no 2 and 4 and so on.

As I find myself better aquainted with blogging and this site I hope to be able to put up these lists and manuals in special sections.

Here are some recent acquisitions....

Rare Singer 6-10 & two Singer 7-41 leather machines

Steve's Leather Machines welcomes you to my first post

After struggling for some time to get my old website, Targoclinic.com, to be flexable enough for me to add pictures and announcements that would be of interest to those that kept an eye on the website and also my ads on ebay, I've now given up and started this blog.

I hope that it will be interative in such a way that all sorts of people will write in and add their comments, requests and information.

There are around 95 machines in my collection at any one time, mostly heavy leather sewing machines for leathercraft, shoe making, saddlery, body armour and harness making.   Without doubt we (my wife Elly and I) have the largest Pearson no 6 collection in the world, as well as pretty much all spare parts, needles, bobbin winders, tables, rein rounders and so on.
