What is a good and affordable post leather sewing machine? I am looking for something to sew bags and shoes with. Is a walking foot or roller foot better to do most of these things with? Thanks in advance! Mooshi

What thread size are you using also? A lot of my friends use 277 for top thread and 207 for the bottom. I use 277 for both. Works fine for me. Mooshi

Tippman Boss Made Obsolite With Electric Machine?
mooshi replied to 15mules's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
I have a Tippman Boss and will not part with it EVER. I found a case I could fit it into when I break it down. I have had many times when a friend called and needed some holsters sewn on site. You just can't do that with a heavy flat bed machine. I think it would be smart to have a stationary home machine and a Boss. You can't go wrong! Mooshi -
I've had my Tippmann Boss for about a year now and it can do everything I want it to do. It has it's advantages and disadvantages but to me those are minor. For one it is 23 pounds and I put mine in a case for portable use on site. My friend Owen and I have used it multiple times at his shop where we couldn't lug his heavy Singer machine to any shop. The negative side is you have to pull the handle to do one stitch at a time and doing belts will take a lot longer to do. On the flip side, doing one stitch at a time gives you precision and control that you can't do as well on a regular automated machine. If you want total control, go with the Tippmann Boss. I would personally recommend this and another machine like the Cobra series(see Steve on that one) to get all your leather sewing needs done. Mooshi

I currently have a Tippmann Boss leather stitcher. I was wondering which presser foot is best for sewing leather piping or welting. I am attaching the link for all the presser feet they carry. Tippmann presser feet Thanks in advance. Mooshi

Do any of you know where I can find or get made an embossing stamp for holsters? It is the old military type. I am enclosing a picture. Mooshi

So I got bored today and decided to make hat bands for a friend of mine. I had never done them before but they came out pretty good! Mooshi

Nwa Pro Wrestling Belts Releathered

I have been gone for a bit but have been keeping busy. I have been releathering and doing some custom work on replica wrestling belts that came on some cheap simulated leather. For those of you old school wrestling fans, I have worked on two NWA World Heavyweight Wrestling Titles. Cut from scratch from leather sides to the line 24 snaps. Both belts have a suede backing. The black belt was all done by me except for the lacing on the edge of the belt. My friend Owen did that. The edge lacing is all Kangaroo. The Red World Title Belt is a custom job also and has Black Kangaroo lacing which was done by Owen. The Diamonds were blinged by my friend Angie. The rest of the belt was all done by myself. Enjoy all! Attached are the links to my online portfolio since there are multiple photos. (Yes, I am also a photographer!) http://public.fotki....orld-title-rel/ http://public.fotki....ed-belt-releat/ Mooshi

Which blue guns to start with
mooshi replied to sfav8r's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Glock 17, 1911, and 9mm. Those are the ones I started with after talking to multiple people who make holsters. Mooshi -
I lucked into a Tippmann Boss today with box and all. I doesn't seem to be used and if it was, very lightly. My friend and I already lubed it all up and tested it and it works great. I want to sell this thing before Christmas and want $900.00 for it. The box is a bit beat up but has everything in it. Honestly I think someone bought this and then put it up in a closet and then decided to sell it. I would keep this thing but I am saving up to get a Cobra Class 4 from Steve. Please feel free to e-mail me at: amiga2091@yahoo.com I am in San Antonio, Texas and want to sell in this area. Just to let you all know, a brand new Tippman Boss from their website right now is on sale for $1195.00. Get this baby at a fraction of the cost! Thanks in advance! Mooshi

So I found this sewing machine today at a Goodwill for $20.00! A Nelco S-700 Model Zig Zag machine. It has all metal gears and sews light leather with NO problem. It does say made in Japan and came with no manual. Can anyone tell me about these sewing machines? Mooshi
