Would also be willing to trade for either 3/4" or 1" brown Bio in the super soft gummie flexible grip. Photos available. Pay Pal & Money Order's accepted.
  2. Hi Ian! I'm trying to find a manual or video on how to thread it? I found a couple video's but they weren't up close enough for me to see exactly how it was threaded? I got the general idea,just don't have a manual or reference to help me better understand how to do it,so I do it right?
  3. Is anyone familiar with a De Luxe Heavy Duty 1952 Japanese sewing machine which looks similar to a Singer 15 model. I need some much needed help!
  4. Thanks Jax! I had two Weaver beveler's that I miss placed and cannot find them! I guess that's what I get for not keeping my tools better organized
  5. Singer that is for sale. Owner knows nothing about it,except that it was bought for the owner by someone who has a reputable tack shop that does repairs. Any idea how many ounces of Leather it can sew? Owner said it can sew canvas,leather etc,but not sure how thick of leather it can sew? I'm more familiar with the older,bigger Singer 29-4 type models. See attachment for photo.
  6. Hi There! Trying to find a supplier that makes a small designer brass,nickel or chrome plated horseshoe studs. I'm looking for a refined shaped horse shoe to apply to 1 1/4" pieces of leather. Any help would be GREAT!!!!
  7. Hi There! I am looking for a Weaver #3 French beveler. I do not yet have my tax I.D. so I am unable buy from Weaver. I'm willing to pay for a used one or pay a few bucks extra and shipping if someone can order me one if you have a future Weaver order coming up? Let me know if you think you can help me out? Thanks a bunch! ~Kelly
  8. I too have done really well on facebook! I am in a small niched market,and there are other pages that openly sell items within that market from other People looking to sell their stuff. So I post many of the things I make,and People are buying it up! I also post that I take order's as well,and have had a TON of success with that as well! One thing I like to do,is offer gift certificates as well as adding a small freebie product if they buy a certain item etc. The possibilities on facebook are endless! I get PM's all the time from People asking me if I can make this or that,and I've done a lot of business that way too! I've also had many People post positive feedback and recommend my items to other People by posting publicly on quite a few of the facebook selling/swap pages I deal with,so its a great feeling to know that there are People out there in facebook Land that do want to buy....you just have to put yourself and your items out there,and be confident in what you are doing,and of course honest communication with buyers is paramount when selling on facebook.
  9. I'm looking to officially start my Leather business here in the very near future,and I'm curious as to how most of you started? Did you start out as a sole Proprietor to save cost or did you file as an LLC or Corporation? Did you start as a sole Proprietor and then later switched to an LLC or Corporation? I plan on selling some of my Leather works as well as buying wholesale products for retail. I've already spoke to a Lawyer,and know what protection each one offers etc but I'm just curious how you started as to how you originally filed your business? Pros/Cons/Recommendations???
  10. Ok English Bridle makers....can anybody help tell me what Pippin Punch sizes I need? Do you recommend round or oval? I'm going to guess most of you recommend the round one's,but wanted to ask anyway. What size punch would I need for for 1/2" cheek pieces (I'm guessing most People use medium size stud hooks for 1/2" cheek pieces?) and what punch size for 3/8" wide cheek piece stud hooks? I'm guessing small size stud hooks is what is used for 3/8" cheek pieces? Also,what size Pippin Punch would you recommend for 5/8" wide reins? I'm looking at some Osborne punches,and I'm a little confused on the sizes they show on their sizing charts,and was wondering if any English Bridle makers here can help me? P.S. If you can recommend a place to where I can get stud hooks that are for 1/2" cheeks and 5/8" reins...I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
  11. Yes Thanks Nigel for making your video's! I really enjoyed watching them,and taking valuable notes! A wealth of visual information that I know (myself included) have been struggling to find to no avail. I hope you continue to make more in the future. Thank you soooo much Nigel!!!!
  12. Looking for a Pricking Iron similar to what Dixon makes for use in preparing to hand sew the bottom of English Bridle cheek pieces to install hook studs. If there are any English Bridle maker's here that has one to sell or can tell me where I can find one to buy,would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ~Kelly
  13. Would love to see a video of how that is exactly done? Seeing it done would be easier for me to understand as I really,really want to learn how to do it! I want to learn how to make rolled throat latches for leather horse halter's as rolled throat latches are the most preferred by People who buy leather horse halter's. I also would love to learn how to make rolled traces and breast plate neck straps for a fine driving harness. So I really want to learn how to do rolled leather! : )
