"Woody" sounds like a good name .

These are the same chisels as Springfield's ... without the brand but the same "great" quality ...next day delivery too. Or just $10 here if you are willing to wait more that 6 weeks

Flat Sienna is what you should have bought to make wallets

Send Tandy an email or even call them ..i am sure one of the stores or even the warehouse has a spare one

Not those ones...lol...

I had those ring custom made locally in a machine shop. Most of the dogs i made collars were over 100lb and the ring held just fine . That being said , they are not meant to be used as an agitation collar , bite work and so on .

I made collars in the past using these lions I bought from the hardware store...they are drawer pulls...some better quality then others . I am not a big fan of them as they are "kitschy" in my opinion ..but who am I to argue with the customer. The round spots are just upholstery tacks from Tandy Here are some of them

The lions can be found at any larger hardware stores...just do a search for "lion heads pulls"...most of them are screw-back

Sorry , I was a bit vague. Call your local Tandy store. I assume since the Montreal location is closed , Markham or Mississauga location is who you want to call for any alcohol based dies , finishes or contact cements.

Call your local store for Fiebing's dies (pro or regular) and order them over the phone . I am also sure they might be able to answer some of your questions too

I've been making dog collars for a long time...this is an interesting design that I've never seen before

When you say padding , is that some kind of foam inside your soft leather ? I am only using 3-4 oz soft leather for my "padding" nothing stuffed inside ...it is more for aesthetics . If needed , the softer rolled edges are more than enough protection in my opinion

I think the padding is way to thick. With or without the top strap attached , a padding that thick will wrinkle regardless , when bent into a circle . If I am making a collar using two ply , I am always gluing them together around a form. My padding is not nearly as thick of yours and I still get a bit of wrinkles . I am using different size PVC pipes as forms ... helps me with collar sizing too .

Did you called your local Tandy? The website shows "out of stock" but some stores might actually have it

Beautiful , clean work. Two tone will always stand out

My dog collar cost me well over $10000 so far ... welcome to the club. You do nice work !

Make round holes around curves...you are not gonna have that problem anymore..especially in small radius curves. Also start making your holes from the center of the curve and work your way up on both sides..this way your last stitches , left and right side, will be equally distant from your key ring

I drove all the way to Toledo from Toronto Canada...never regretted it...Bob was great Dealt with Cobra and their customer service is impeccable ...they went the extra mile to help me when they didn;t have to Either way , you can't go wrong

I apply the satin finish (or any other finish) using an air brush , regardless of the dye i am using.

It does the job. I like the portability , easy to set up, cuts through 8-9oz easily

I've been looking for one of those for more that a year with no luck. Best option is to order a brand new one if you have the money

2800 not 4800

I have a Nakajima 341 using the singer 111 feet...they don't fit the techsew 2800...the setting screw holes don't align

Hi there Would the 335 presser feet work on a Techsew 2800 ? Are there any other accessories interchangeable between the two machine ? I just want to make sure before placing an order on ebay . Thank you

I believe we're overthinking the whole Tandy "situation" . This is one of the biggest companies out there when it comes to leather , leather tools and hardware , leather dies and pretty much everything else needed to get you into leather craft , all under one roof . They got rid of their membership fees , dropped prices and some of us took that as a bad sign. They are rolling out a new web-site and closed down less that 10% of their stores during a pandemic and that's somehow a bad sign...unless those were the overperforming stores bringing in huge profits They've been around for 100 years taking pride in interacting 1 on 1 with their customers , offering classes in pretty much all of their locations ...i think it's unlikely Tandy will switch to an online business model. I've been shopping with Tandy for about 20 years and my good experiences, overshadow the bad ones by a mile . As far as i am concerned , i am not ready to write them off yet , based on their current situation.But than again , bigger companies out there went under , some of them even without any warnings . I guess time will tell but i am not gonna waste my time "reading the signs"
