Love That New Sewing Machine Smell!
gannonorion replied to gannonorion's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
MADMAX22: Setup was really straight forward. I actually needed more "help" when it came to building the thread stand. The servo motor takes a little bit to get used to. I may upgrade to the larger one in the future. Reason: It has more features, knobs, and power. lol, Sorry I'm a guy! But really it was easy to set up, not so easy to get into the house. The head alone is 120 pounds. the box it comes in is large and unruly, with no real way to manhandle it. Believe me I tried. had to ask the neighbor for help. So far I have used the machine without incident, If you take the intimidating size and raw power out of the equation it is much like using a standard sewing machine. But rest assured once I do have a problem, after i'm done crying, I will ask for some help. Thank you for the offer KAYAK45. -
Hey Hey! As of today I am the proud new owner of a Cowboy CB-3500. It arrived just a few hours ago and I have only had time enough to put it together and run some test pieces through. I will post more pictures as I crank more out.

One of the products that I have been experimenting with is a boot treatment that I used when I was a logger. I lived in Ketchikan, Alaska ( It rains A LOT ). Its called Huberd's shoe grease. www.huberds.com . I have had great success so far with it. It goes on thick but slowly absorbs into the leather, till there is no trace of it. One thing to be wary of is it will darken the leather depending on what stain or dye you are using. I have used it on my labs collar, and on service harness as well and the water just does not absorb into the leather. You will have to reapply, but that is dependent on how much use the item gets. My boots were every few weeks, but I also like to err on the side of caution, especially when my feet were at stake. Will keep you posted on how other items i use it on turn out.

Ha this is funny!! Everyone they are drawer pulls! every single one of his "special" rings is a drawer or cabinet ring style pull. Google lion ring pull if you don't believe me.
