Have you taken a look at Springfield Leather? We are always looking for ways we can help.

NO NO NO!!!! WHATS on first!!!!

It did get harsh!! At any rate who ever did send it made it look as though it came from Bob and added the link to their email. So... I would like to appologize as well i guess noone@nowhere.com got me pretty good.... but fortunatly Bob is one heck of a stand up guy and gave us a call to clear the air if you will. Rusty

Hello...if you're refering to me (kevin hopkins) you might want to give us a chance to take care of you regarding your leather issue, before you simply assume that we're trying to "get you"... actually I'm quite happy to take care of you the best that I can. but I can't do it if I'm only made aware thru a vulgar accusatory email with no reply ability.

Looks Great! I like the detail to the brim of the hat, the shine that fades in and out really adds to the impression made by the "little things.." Also I think the Chaylor-Fenneli interiors look really nice. Thanks for sharing!!

But the great thing about it is that you made it in the first place! People are always worried about "if its right?" I feel like if it does what you wanted it to do, you learned something, and you feel like you accomplished something.......then whats wrong with that??? If you learned a little about what not to do next time..........then it was all worth while.! Keep it up!

This is a Landis Model K. This thing is CLEAN! It has had very little use. It was owned by a private shop. It comes with a couple extra awls and needles. Also comes with the service manual. The machine is complete and ready to use. It has 2 spools of thread, theres no thread lube. I can deliver to the Springfield area you must have a way to unload it, its about 800#'s. 417.207.0579 sale-brumz-2092337079@craigslist.org

If the thing is free or priced right I would certainly take it. A curve needle is better, but a straight needle will work. You have to take the last out of the boot so you can fold the vamp back out of the way to sew it. Rusty

Man you arn't kiddn about that!!! If you stopped and scratched your leg in the middle of the first stitch you better find a place to scratch every time!!! LOL I work for Springfield Leather (upper right hand corner) and I teach a lot of people how to hand sew in a days time, we have ton of sewing machines , but man there is real satisfaction in having to say, "no its hand sewn" The holes MUST be consistant weather drilled or punched ( I perfer punched the stitches tighten up as the leather shrinks back,) they should always be at the same angle and distance. The back not looking even will also be cause by your awl or drill bit not going through straight up and down, the thicker the leather the more it can deflect. But what ever you do I always start with the front stitch, once it is through it should be held down and away at a little bit of an angle which will let the back thread lay kind of on top and beside the lower thread, which ever direction you pulled the thread away, always pull it the same way. You must be very careful that everything happens the same dirrection every time, I know thats been said be it can't be said enuff!! hope this helps
