I have basic skills in sewing but would like to purchase a quality walking foot sewing machine to do leather, neoprene, auto, boat, furniture upholstery for home use. Price would be least than $1000 I hope. What recommendations do you have?
Ok, I've been looking for a good skiving machine for a long time. I finally found one, but now I need to get a table and motor for it.
Please do not tell me to contact campbell-randall. That's just not going to happen. I don't feel like getting into a long, drawn out discussion about it, so I will not do so here.
I have read on here that people have used two separate motors for these machines...one to run the knife at one speed of their choice.....and the other motor to run the feed mechanism
As all can tell I have not been posting lately as I have been really busy - Haven't even had time to work on rig #2...
Anyhow, I moved back to Saskatchewan and am setting up a new saddle shop in our place here.
It's almost done. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it wrapped up.
We have been doing lots of riding and have had a chance to go to quite a few brandings as well as pasture rope.
It'd been nice to really use the first saddle I built - It seems to work prett
Hi Guys I am from Sydney Australia and I am looking for a locking screw for a Tippman Boss Bobbin Shuttle, the head is stripped. The manufacturer only sell the complete shuttle which is cost prohibitive with postage costs to Australia converted to Au dollars. Have visited engineering, machine shows to no avail any help appreciated EV.
Does anyone know of a monthly or quarterly leather working magazine. I have been looking around but so far no luck. I was hoping that I would find one like the Wooworkers magazine but as I said no luck. Please let me know if you know of one.
Thank You

Hi.
I have a Junker & Ruh SD 28 1876 in pristine condition for sale. This machine has been stripped down and completely cleaned, oiled and assembled again, with all its original parts.
This beautiful machine has been exhibited in a museum in Germany, due manly to the fact that this particular machine is a rarity to come by and is as good as new, in both appearance and functionality.
This machine is 100% functional and eats its way through the thickest of leather soling.

Wholesale leather supplier, Carroll Leather has introduced a new article at their recent trade show. We wanted to share this product with the leatherworker.net community because it is a fresh outlook on a vintage leather. The new pattern is called "Cheyenne", as you can see in the image it is a vintage/distressed article but also has added durability. You will notice a subtle crackle effect in this leather but the unique aspect is it's protective top coat. Most leathers like this will scratc
If you get two or more leatherworkers together, there will probably be three or more opinions on the best stamping tools. Opinions about who made or still makes the best tools are like mothers, everybody has one. It is hard to pay homage to all the toolmakers that have come and gone, but I'll try and list some of them.
Various saddlemakers. These were custom made tools, often from a nail or if necessary from a piece of tool steel. Almost NEVER signed and seldom marked with anything, they non

With fashion and decorating trends changing daily, one trend that has been consistent for most of 2015 is the desire for distressed leather hides. This type of leather has always been a popular choice for western themed homes and cabins but is slowly catching on in the urban and contemporary styles. Distressed leather has become a diverse product due to the variety of colors it is offered in today. In the passed aged leathers were only offered in brown but today you can easily find shades of
I have an old saddle and am curious of what it is and its worth. On the front rigging dee it is is stamped with "EZ RIG PAT MAY 1815". Then on the inside of both rear rigging dees it is stamped with a very small anchor. The last mark that I have found is either a 6 or a 9 which is stamped in the leather underneath the saddle in between the fleece. Other than that I cannot find another markings. It has no maker marking stamped in the leather that I have been able to find. Please let me know if yo
