  1. For those of you who know, these are almost impossible to find today in this condition. The rollers are steel! Works perfectly. Comes as pictured. For those of you that do strap work, harness work, dog collars etc, these add a beautiful touch of customization to any project. The dome feature is virtually impossible to replicate without a machine like this. Show me one for less anywhere in the USA! Will not ship. Must come to middle TN 37027 to pick up. $775 firm. 615-482- seven two 33
  2. This is a beautiful belt embosser. Works perfectly. Comes with three dies as pictured. Has seen almost no use. Will not ship. Come to Brentwood TN 37027 to pick up. $675 firm. 615-482- seven two 33 Rob
  3. Sadly, It has been sold a long time ago. Often regret selling it! Oh well. This is a very old post listing. Good luck in your search for the Yeti of harness stitchers! I have listed a couple other items on Leatherworker and will sell still a few other items soon. Keep an eye on these classifieds regularly! Good stuff coming.
  4. Another impossible to find machine. Works great, indexes perfectly. Comes as pictured. Dies can be removed and new ones inserted for your most common uses. Too heavy to ship safely and I'm not going to build a special box for it. Located in Middle TN. $400 firm. 615-482-seven two three three.
  5. Works beautifully. Looks great. No missing parts. This machine in a factory powered configuration are rare indeed. I never seen another one with a factory Landis motor. This machine is so heavy I just dont trust shipping it. So those of you wishing to drive to middle TN 37027 please reach out to me. As I have aged, and my leather hobby slowing down, I have decided to sell many of my machines. I have some really hard to find pieces that have taken close to 20 years to accumulate. I will list them individually as I have time. 615-482- seven two three three.
  6. More than likely it is hot foil embossing not actual goal leaf. Buy a hot foil stamper like a kwikprint model 86 or 64 and have your magnesium die made for any badge, shape, logo or anything really and start stamping away. I highly recommend these two models as they offer features that make your life easier. Check ebay. There are cheaper models but you will have wished you spent the extra. They are a ton of fun to use, they do take some practice however. You only get one chance to press. One mistake on dwell time, alignment or temperature setting could turn many hours of labor into a dog chew toy. Ask me how I know!
  7. The picture you show is a leather welt edge not burnished ray. Ray can be sanded (use mask) to a beautiful round edge, dyed then edge coat.
  8. I bought a bunch of surplus thread at auction and have a ton of 138. I have a lot of brown color. Email me at rob@cobalttn.com and I'll see if I can help. This is all American & Effrid bonded nylon 1lb spools new! I also have 69,99 & some 277
  9. Your die is really the inherent problem. Try having the die made in reverse before spending a lot of money on a new press unless you plan on doing a lot of this. For example the "beer club" in the positive not negative, same with border. It will have less surface area to press nicely into your leather.
  10. Tippmans are great starter machines and I found their service to be excellent. It is a good machine to learn how to sew on for less money. The throw arm must go all the way up until it stops then down again. The disadvantage is with any steady work the manual operation gets old fast. Stitching a belt is a work out. Holding your work for technical areas is more challenging. I have since sold mine for a cobra 4. Never looked back! The good thing is that if you buy one used, you can usually sell it a year or two later and get your money back. There is always someone starting out that is tired of hand stitching that will buy it from you and they ship easily. Yes a tippman beats hand stitching! Good luck.
  11. I can likely do this for you, However I am in Nashville. Please email a pic of the wallet to rob@cobalttn.com
  12. Gloves require a very specialized skill set and machinery. Very few leather crafter's make them. You may wish to improvise and buy a pair of motorcycle winter gloves for about $40 and cut the fingers off. Then simply paint the white decor with acrylic leather paint found at any tandy store. Best of luck.
  13. I believe so. But please verify by the picture of the label. Thanks, Rob
  14. I prefer to sell them with the other Puritan machines. The new buyer would want it all. There are over $1000 (retail new) in Puritan parts and a new manual. Here are some pictures of them! Still need to take one of the 36 long arm. Also included is one of the coveted Cyclone & Stand. Enjoy!
  15. While I never imagined that I would ever sell my Cyclone, here I go. For those that know, it is the "Holy Grail" of needle and awl machines. Superbly engineered, this one is complete with all parts, extra bobbins and a beautiful table and new 110 motor. Very heavy. For those that know, they are nearly impossible to find and I have come to grips that once this leaves my home I will never be able to find another. Price $8,000 Also selling: Randal NSB Belt Beveling machine: 3 phase Complete with table and several feed wheels and knives: $3,000 2- Juki 563N sewing machines, on kessler power tables, pneumatic presser foot lift, electronic needle positioning, both on 3 phase $1650 each. These are factory machines in excellent condition with reverse. The Kessler power tables alone run $1200 by themselves! 3- Puritan Chain stitches, 1 long arm, 1 med arm, 1 short arm. Yes all three sizes, all complete with 3 phase motors, also a ton of parts, needles, loopers etc. $1800 buys all three. Very heavy. 1- Campbell Bell knife skiver with built in vacuum, 3 phase, excellent condition, bottom feed $1800. These machines with built in vacuum are not easy to find. I'm in Nashville, TN. These are all heavy machines at two locations depending on what you want. (I have some in storage) You must arrange for crating and or shipping. They are at a residence without a loading dock. I will send pics to any serious inquiry. rob@cobalttn.com Rob

  17. I knew I shouldn't look at these postings... I just get green with envy! I love the turquoise inlay!
  18. This is an old machine but today's models work identically. Compare at Weaver's for $1895. This machine indexes self centering holes in straps, belts or harness work. Simply put in your strap and turn the handle and start punching away. You can also lift one side guide rail and punch holes on an edge for pre punched hand stitching or holes for rhinestones, eyelets or spots. Does not show any brand or makers mark. It weighs about 40 lbs. Comes complete with spare hole punches, and spare brass anvils. Wheel turns freely with no binding and operates beautifully. $950 plus shipping inside US. I am in Tennessee 37027. 615-482-7233 rob@cobalttn.com
  19. Hmm, any all leather product exposed regularly to salt water (sailing) or any water in general is a problem better fixed by using a different material. I too would like to see a "sealer" that permanently fixes this problem. Fix that problem and you wont have to be clicking out sun-glass straps ever again! You've just invented a multi million dollar problem fix that can be used in multiple industries. Temporary sealers are just that but would require frequent reapplication to achieve a level of resistance suitable to meet the harsh environment of salt water. IMHO. The design would be difficult to "protect" and while your intent to keep it in the US as we all would love is admirable, all good ideas wind up in Asia. Write your congressman if you don't like it. You need more that a leather craftsman... you need a chemist. Just keeping it real in Tennessee.
