Its all about Leather

The Item has been sold. Thank you.

I have for sale a used, but in excellent condition, Tippmann Boss sewing machine. This is an excellent sewing machine as the pictures show, and the reason I am wanting to sell it is because I don't use it as much as I thought I would when I purchased it. I still prefer to hand sew my projects, so it is just sitting around not doing anything. What is included is: Tippmann Boss Sewing Machine DVD and Operators Manual, Plastic container holding tools, bobbin, and needles 2 Bobbins, Including the one in the machine 1 Bobbin winder 5 allen wrenches for maintenance 1 screw driver for bobbin tension adjustment 10 extra needles of various sizes 1- 1385yd spool of #277 White Polyester thread Selling Price including shipping: $1,050.00

I can't remember where, or who said it, but through all of my searching in these forums I found someone say to cut on the outside of your marks and this will help with your patterns from getting skinny. Bill

To answer anybody else's question concering scroll design that searches this site, I found the same questions answered in other forums. His name is Ron Smith and his books are called Drawing and understanding scroll designs, and Advanced drawings of scrolls. Here is a link to a website that sells his book at the cheapest price I can find. http://www.contenti.com/products/books/116-614.html i hope this helps anyone else who searches for scroll design.

Send a IM to Hidepounder (Bob Park) I think he is around that area. He could give you some great advice.

Thats Very Nice Chris!

Those are sure some beautiful tools BearMan. I love your woodworking abilities. Very nice work!

That sounds pretty awesome! You need to take some pictures so we can see. Here are a few wooden dowels I made and use when I make my koozies. I made them so I could clamp them in my Stitching Horse and sew the edges together . One fits a bottle the others fit cans. It also helps to stretch them out. I made them just a little bigger in diameter than the acutal bottles and cans themselves.

Thanks! Yea the light bulb can get hot after awhile. I try to use a low wattage just to help keep it cooler, but most of the time I clamp the light to my chair and set the box on my legs and it doesn't seem to get as hot that way. I made my anvil for knife holsters I make. I needed something long enough to be able to set the rivets in the back. Necessity is the mother of all invention.

Here is a few of my tools I have made since I started crafting a few years ago. 1) Rein Rounder made out of 2 pieces of 2" x 1/2" strap 2) Embosser : I tried to make it deep enough to be able to stamp bible covers 3) Deep throated anvil made out of 4" I-beam 4) My stitching Pony made from the plans from Al Stohlman's book How to Hand Sew 5) Something I threw together using an old 12" X 12" window pane to trace a pattern and haven't quit using it since. I didn't realize how much I have made until I was looking around to take pictures to add to your post. And I still have more, but I used my picture quota. William
