Loving it!!!!!!!

I am on the fence for a Cobra class 20....does anybody has one and can report what this machine can or can not do!? I am planing to start making chaps...also book covers, wallets, backpacks, flat bags and inlays...I do have the Cobra Class 3....wondering if eventually a class 18 would do me!!??? Any thoughts?

I am interested in a Cobra 20, Cowboy 1541 or a Juki 1508 HN.....is the Cobra #20 a 1508 clone?? Which is the better machine...?? I am doing book covers, wallets, heavy veg tan book covers, chap tops, veg tan sleeves, small flat bags, I dont just want to end up with a mediocre upholstery machine!!?? ....I do have a Cobra #3 for the big fat stuff. Any input would be great, thanks!!

Fly wheel is custom made by a NC machine shop!! No shipping...lol...you could not afford me! Near TN state line!!

I am so sorry...John...We should have warned you!! You are now officially doomed, for ever broke and the smell of leather will have severe effects to your brain and wallet...you will never look the same way at a leather sofa's kicked to the curb...you will start buying old rusty tools and fancy templates...your wife's tanning bed will disappear and a work bench will be build at this same spot... May the gods of leather dye and bees wax be with you from now on!!! Ohhhh, and have fun...and I mean lots of fun!! Greetings from another "doomed" guy in SW Virginia!!

Very nice details, clean work and superb engineering...classical look...sort of old school!! Should be effective as described!??

Let's get started!!!! Good to have u in here!!!

Lol...you wish...I do both...Ham radio ($$$$) and leather work ( $$$$) so yes...I know...BUT: Both hobbies are great fun and very enjoyable ways of spending BIG money....in the end leather work is a bit more rewarding I think. Now go and have fun!! 73

Awesome!! Very clean...I like yellow things...my daughters favorite flowers are sunflowers. Great work!

Best Halloween movie ever!! Very nice work!!

Heheee....now that's cool...loving it...very nice detailed work!! Tnx for sharing!!

Love both KNIVES!!! The sheath's are cool, nice work there...keep it up!!

Very nice, I love the color and stitching details...nice work!!

I am asking $1800 since it is in mint condition...the hand wheel is commercially made for it!! Willing to ship if you pay for shipping/ crate material! Lol...I am a neat freak...I try to keep my shop/ machines in good shape!!

Cash only, if you are willing to pay for shipping ( material for crate etc. ) then yes... I am asking $1800 for the machine.

finally broke down and will sell my beloved Adler 105, she has been a work horse for my hobby and never let me down. Will stitch close to 5/8" of about anything you want to sew. Have been using from 98 thread all the way to 346. Has bottom foot/needle fed. Comes with large industrial table with lockable coasters under neath, flat working area can be removed or dropped for free cylinder arm work. Has air lift foot set up if needed. Strong servo motor and HUGE hand wheel attached for max torque!! Have 4 extra bobbins, several new packs of different needle sizes, comes with extra base plate and two pressure feet. Never had any issues with this machine, been making bags, belts, holsters, scabbard's, even larger wallets and book covers. Running right now 207 on top and 138 on bottom I have owned this machine for many years and it has been taking real good care off. You can call me @ 276-6 nine zero-508 four Will trade plus $$$ for Cobra #20

I had one and it sews really nicely, 138 thread works fine on top!! Lots of parts available and well build!!Cant go wrong if it is in well taking care of shape!!

Actually a few years ago.....friend of mine wanted a seat done for his bike...I love the color of this bike!! he build and painted it himself.....sooo, I kept the seat color sort-of orange too....all skirting is 2-3 oz veg tan leather, the top seats are 4-5 oz tooling leather!!

Good friend of mine builds hot rod cars....cool ones too!! So he requested a cool wallet....4-5 oz tooling leather, inside is chrome tan left overs and dye is Fiebings, sealer NeatLac!!
