The Techsew 2750 PRO and SK-4 skiving machine arrived last Friday—unexpectedly early. I had just received shipping confirmation the day before, and then got a call in the middle of the work day that the delivery was happening. I had to run home to direct the truck to the loading dock.
Both machines came on two pallets. I didn’t have time to do an unboxing video since I had to break them down right there to get everything into my apartment.
Over the weekend, I got both machines assembled and set up. The 2750 is a cylinder arm machine with a walking foot, built for stitching heavy materials like the leather I’m using for glove work. The SK-4 will be used to skive—thin down the edges of leather for binding and welting.
Right now, I’m focused on learning how to operate both machines. I won’t be doing any test runs until I feel comfortable with the controls and maintenance.
Photos below show the setup and where I’ll be working. More to come as I get familiar with everything and begin making a glove.
What kind of glove are you planning on making? Something modern or vintage?
