  1. Sorry, TKR. Don't mean to be rude. We were our of town for the week of the 4th. I really have my sites set on a cobra class 4. Thanks.
  2. I swear, this is the best forum that I have ever been involved with. Dwight, would you be so kind as to inform me on how to get a copy of your 1911 pattern? Thank you in advance. Cranky.
  3. I'm trying to supplement my social security with something that I love, working with leather. The machine needs to sew through heavy veg tan leather. I make holsters, knife sheaths, belts, and bags. Some people might argue that what I'm after is over kill, but I don't want to be limited if and when I consider other products to produce. Thank you in advance for your help.
  4. So, about a week ago I posted my wishes for a Tippmann Boss. I need to supplement my Social Security and I have decided to do that with something that I have a very deep passion for. Oh, yeah, that's leather workin'. I have nerve damage in my shoulder, arm, and hand. that is agrivated by the repetitive action of pulling on the handle of the Boss. It looks like I'm going to have to wait for the ever elusive low priced electric leather machine. I know what I would like to have, but I have champaign taste on a beer budget. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

  5. I knew that I was going to regret it one day. Yup, I sold my Boss about twelve years ago. It was loaded. I loved that thing, but I was so busy in my day job that it wasn't being used very often. Now I'm trying to retire, but I don't have any income except for Social Security. I would like to supplement my income by making holsters, tack, and knife sheeths. I need your help in locating a reasonably priced Boss. (remember that I am on Social Security) Thank you so much for your assisstance.
  6. I'm Back In the Market for a Tippmann Boss.

  7. Does anyone have a Tippmann Boss Flatbed and/or material guide attachment that they would like to sell?
  8. My Boss keeps fraying the thread at the needle. I have been playing with the tensions for about an hoiur and cannot get it to stop. I have also tightened up the stop. What else should I be looking for>

  9. Hey, King's X, I scored one last Saturday. Thanks for the help, though.
  10. I finally got my Tippmann Boss and I have allot to learn. It's great to know that there is such a huge brain trust in leather working here. Thanks in advance for taking the time to teach me how it's done.

  11. Has anyone used waxed irish linen thread in their tippmann boss? What was the performance of the boss?
  12. Hey, Madmax, I scored the boss in oly. I am just going through it with some lube and I''ll should be practicing tonight. Thanks again for your assistance.
  13. There were a couple of Juki 550's, a Pegasus W500 and an old Union Special 93700, but they are all flatbeds. I really need the cylinder arm for what I want to do.
