Do you still have this? I am very interested. Thanks Doug

Don't know if this is sold yet but I would like to buy it.

What type and weight leather do you use? I have no problem cutting my own lace but what is the most common type used?

Thanks, Maybe I should look at typing help ;>)

I have been making leather leads, harnesses and collars for working dogs for years now but I have lately started to get a little fancier. I have been asked for braided dogshow leqads and very fine leather work. I do make high quality leads now but it is all flat leather items. I would like to start making braided leads. Most will be 24 in, 30 in, 36 in amd 6ft leads. Can someone help me find a tutorial somewhere that shows me how to start this stuff. From what I have seen, it is pretty detailed and I need a simple method I can put out a few of these things. Once I get used to it, I can do more complicated braid. Thanks Doug

Great, That sounds like what I may have. The needle has hit so I will have a look at everything. I have done everything else. Thank You Doug

ll try that, Thanks

Dwight: Thanks for the reply. Is that the collar that pushes up the thread take up bar on top? I did check that and if you push the handle all the ways back, the stop is in the right position. The maching seem pretty simple and I think it is just a matter of learning what does what. I have always hand stitched everything before this and this machine seemed to be the next step for me. Thanks again. Doug

OK, This has probably been covered many time but it is new to me. I got Boss and am trying to sew leashes and harnesses. I had 207 thread in it with 200 needle. I adjusted the tension to the recommended setting as well as tried adjusting it. I can get a good stitch for a couple of inches but then it begins to fray and breaks. I call Tippmann and he walked me through all the things I already tried. He did get me to check the rings by the bobbin case area and thought that was it. It did not work. I checked all the stops etc and can't seem to get it. Anyone have any ideas? I have about 40 leashes and a couple of dozen other items sitting there waiting to be finished for a show coming up. I thought the Boss would get rid of the drilling and hand stitching and I think it will if I can get the hang of it. Doug

I found one in CA that was on craig's list. Thanks for all the help.

It looks like I keep missing the others so maybe I can try this guy you mentioned. Thanks

Thank You, I will have a look.

Thanks, I'll sent you an email.

I am looking for a Tippmann Boss. Would love to get the attachmants as well but the main machine is the main thing, I would love a Tippmann Aero if possible but am limited in funds for that unless it was reasonable. I am tired of drilling and hand stitching. I want to use it for making tracking harnesses for search dogs and leather leads
