Yes, sometimes it's just easier to have a few colors to select from rather than building them up custom every single time. These three colors cover the majority of orders for me.

Thank you

I've considered making a pancake sheathe as a magazine accessory but I haven't drawn up a pattern I've liked yet. Would be pretty convenient though!!!

That's a nice machine! I have the Cobra Class 4, and it does pretty much everything I want it to do. I don't see myself really using this Adler, although it is nice. it does run, it does lay down a stitch, etc. I think I'd keep it if it was the walking foot variant though

Hey Folks, Here's a few pics from a while ago showing off some simple knife sheathes. These tend to sell pretty good so I decided to carry them as ready stock goods. These were the three color combinations I decided to go with. They are excellent for eating up the offcuts of leather, and extremely convenient. Easy to ship too!

Hey Folks, Picked up this barn find Adler and not real familiar with them as far as market value goes. I did post it and got flooded with messages asking for a price, but I don't have one in mind. What's a fair price for something like this? It does stitch, motor works, etc. Some rust, will add more photos below.

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a Straight Needle stitcher. also looking for a Landis badge to restore a current machine. Thanks

Can one person transport a Landis Rapid E?
LMullins replied to LMullins's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Wow! Thank you for sending the link... much appreciated! I know how it feels to try to go back and find stuff online. Always a hassle haha thanks! I'll be looking into it. How difficult was it to move? I'm sure I'm gonna need another person, but I'm just curious on how much manpower is necessary. I've hauled my fair share of equipment but never dealt with the Rapid E. -
SOLD

Hey folks, as the title implies; I'm looking to transport a Landis Rapid E, probably by myself. I transported a Cobra Class 4 and Class 29-18 without help and it was no sweat to disassemble them and get them in the back of my SUV, but for the Landis Rapid E I'm not too sure. I've never used one, and never seen one (they are extremely scarce in my area) but this one is in working condition and the seller wants less than I paid for my Landis 5-in-1.. so it's a deal too good to pass up. to anyone with experience, how difficult is disassembly on one of these matches? I'd prefer not to transport it in one piece if I can avoid it. Thanks

I perforated it with a machine and then finished by hand. No particular reason, just wanted to hand stitch this one.

Thank you. I always find the curves in particular to be the most difficult to work, whether it's sanding, burnishing, or tooling.

Hey Folks, I had a customer request that I make them a custom-fitted basketweave sheathe... there was just one problem.. See, this Hunting Knife was sentimental to them and they were unable to risk it getting lost or damaged in the mail, and they lived much too far to exchange in person so there was only one thing I could do. I had them take photos and map out measurements, and then I constructed a similar shape to the blade for reference and began working. In the end, the knife fit perfect and the thick sheathe came out beautiful. Looking back, I think I would've shortened the snap closure, but that's pretty tricky to get right when you don't physically have the knife in your possession. Let me know what you think!
