I still have this for sale for anybody looking for a good mid-weight machine in great condition. I will ship or make arrangements for pickup. Thanks! Colby

I dont know about the CB 227. It will definitely sew a 1/2" but not anything more than that or it will start skipping stitches. Thanks

I have pictures on my phone so if anyone is interested in seeing pics please send me a message on my phone and I will send them that way. 254 252 0616. Thanks! Also, Im asking 1000 for it. Paid 1500 for it less than 6 months ago from Bogle-Greenwell.

I have an Adler 69-372 sewing machine for sale. Its in great condition. I bought it from Bogle-Greenwell Machine Company in Grand Prairie,Texas. It is a cylinder arm machine and will sew up to about 1/2" or so. I will upload pictures later. Thanks.

Thanks Terry! I have been doing that a little and it seems to help a lot.

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the invite. Driving down some evenings wouldn't be a problem at all for me, so keep me informed. I realize your time isn't free, so just let me know what a few hours of your time in the evenings would be. On another subject, I have been tooling every night for a few hours and have a question. 1. Is there a trick besides just practicing to "walking" tools such as the beveler, shader, etc.? I think I am pretty decent with my swivel knife only to chop the pattern up with the beveler!

Kings X, I noticed you live pretty close to me. I live outside of Temple. I have been looking for some places to go tool and get some instruction. Is there anywhere near you that offers such a class?

I just got my tools in the mail and have been playing all weekend. So now I have a few questions. 1. When cutting tight turns like on leaves and flower petals, what is the best size blade to use? I seem to have trouble with the current blade because it seems to big, i think it is 3/8. I am going to order a nicer knife, what would be a nice one to buy? 2. Beveling- the same situation with the leaves and flower petals, the bevel tool seems to be to big to maneuver around the tight turns. I know there are smaller bevel tools and rounded ones, so is that the answer to my problem? thanks

THanks guys, I checked into all those things and I just ordered a set. I am sure i will be back for more information soon. Again, thanks for taking your time to help. Colby

hi everyone, i am new to the forum and have been wanting to get into leather work for some time. I have been looking at some starter kits on the internet but the quality is not great and the tools just end up getting outgrown. So with that in mind, i am wanting to put together a pretty decent set of tools. Basically, I am asking someone to please help me put together a nice starter set that I can keep on using in the future. Thanks a lot. Colby

Hi Dave, I was wondering if the tools are still available. I am wanting to get started and this looks like a good set. My email is colby_jenkins@msn.com.
