    Fox it is then. I like how the person who made the stamp did not try to make the face symmetrical - gives it a charming, quizzical look. I know! Isn't it wonderful? I'm envious. To have the ability as well as the talent to make the stamps so well. They are really well made and the impressions are sharp and clear. Yes there are. A couple of unusual ones too, at least to me. I can't wait to use them... once it is less cold and I do not mind wet hands. Right now, I am busy shivering! Probably something similar. There are some large ones in this lot but some small ones too. I put the rubber bands to prevent them disappearing in that stand. On the large ones, to protect the carved ends when they are on the nail side. Those are really impressive - small and so well carved.

    Replying to an plder thread I read a couple of days ago. Cambell Randall has 300 shims for the 205. Their online catalog sucks so call them for what you want. I just installed a 300 tonight I got from tbem a few weeks ago.

    I seem remember you mentioned this in another thread, but to be honest i have never seen this and i have been using it for almost 30 years now also its what we used when did my training. But as daft as it sounds i suppose there maybe a varying quality of MDF from different suppliers.

    As a young teenager . . . my boy scout leader . . . Ellsworth Lynn Beach . . . taught us to do the same thing. He made his own leather stamps out of I believe 20 penny nails . . . they were big ones for sure. May God bless, Dwight

    Nice! There's some useful looking stamps there.

    You're an ideas man, I see, that could work!

    Since you are using 3 layers of 8 oz which will be about 3/8" thick and using V207 thread you would be at or close to the max of all Class 341 machines like a Juki LS-1341 machine, brand name or clone. Since you are using a Class 441 machine, the Tippman Boss, you would have to move to a Juki TSC-441 or a clone machine. The Juki TSC-441 will set you back somewhere around $8000 USD which for most hobbyists is out of their price range versus a clone costs about $3000 USD. kgg

    Either works for me

    You're in the US, this guy (Bob, or on the forum, CowboyBob) posts here nearly every day, helping people with their machines: https://tolindsewmach.com/ He sells many brands including Juki.

    That's awesome. If you can't find, or afford, what you need, make it. Someone did. Great find... I'll bet the person made a LOT of things with those and loved them.

    I've seen bits of metal embedded in MDF. Fine for stropping since you're not cutting into it, really smooth.

    It would be nice to get his feedback. He/she hasn't been back here since Dec 11. So I suppose we won't get any more info from the OP. @hamim

    My first impression was a wolf. Don't know how I arrived at that!

    I like that answer. If your'e using a Tippman boss you're in a heavier class of machinery. Juki makes a large stitcher that's pretty similar work wise, but they're expensive. Most guys here buy Juki 441 Clones from China (Weaver leather and others sell them). That's probably your best bet. A real Juki 441 is pretty pricey, but I think the copies sell for around 2-3k.

    Up close, the animal is even more appealing. Coyote perhaps?

    Here they are. The stand was included with them. This will go over several posts. Huh? Not getting uploaded, for some reason. Will try a while later.

    It's a tippman boss which does fine but my parents wanna buy me an automatic sewing machine so I'm not arguing.

    What are you using now?
  30. rcon1991
    I sew firefighter radio strap and sometimes do up to 3 layers of 8oz leather. I use 207 thread and want to upgrade to a juki but I am unable to see which juki machine can do that kind of work. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

    It's cold in our area today. Cold enough that USPS says they cannot deliver due to dangerous weather conditions! So stuck at home but happy as, as I heard them say in Idaho, 'a pig in muck'. I love that phrase. So eloquent! Happy because I found a set of old hand made stamps - all carved onto nails of different sizes, including one that I cannot decide whether it is a coyote or a dog. In Evaporust right now. I'll put up pics as soon as I get them clean. really do not care whether they are old or vintage or from last year. Their value is in the fact that they are all hand-made. Someone made them, used them and took care of them and now I will do the same.
