    Why Did My Post Disappear?

    I posted a detailed review last night (3-23-23) of how I motorized a leather stitcher with pictures. I saw it get posted. Today it's gone, including all uploaded photos.

    This is, by far, the best solution. I spent many bucks and lots of time trying to find the correct tap.
