This press needs to be picked up as a I will not ship it due to its weight. I just bought a Lucris so this one is up for sale. The press is in good condition, no cracks, and works flawlessly. The top plate is 12in in diameter and can be adjusted for different heights clicker dies. The handle is 32in long. Feel free to message me any questions you might have. Located in Brampton Ontario Canada Priced firm at $1100 Thank you!

I bought it last year...didn't needed , but at that price it was a steal.

I am looking for a needle feed , cylinder arm machine with or without the table ... probably prefer just the head as it might be easier for me to make shipping arrangements .If you are within few hours of driving from Toronto , then table and motor would be fine as i can pick it up myself Anything similar to a Consew 223R , Juki 321 and such would be great.Needs to be light/medium duty able to go all the way to a #138 thread , reverse and in good condition mechanically and aesthetically . Might consider similar walking foot machines if the price is right Please message me pictures and price of what your machine Thank you !

.Hi there Are these machine pretty much the same thing? Are they using common accessories... feet... bobbins. and so on? Is one better than the other one? Thank you!

You can get display , blank phones on eBay for few dollars. Same goes for tablets too

Here is a side by side comparison with the cheaper irons in 4mm...which still works fine with heavier thread

The awl was used just for the pictures...i was trying to put the card holder in a better angle to eliminate some of the light reflexions . Thanks !

I end up getting 2 sets or Beagle irons in 3.38m and 3.85mm and i am very happy with them. I might get the 3.0mm for fine stitching ...watch bands and so. They make smaller holer then my previous set which i like ia lot Here is a small card wallet i put together yesterday using the 3.85mm paired with #138 thread . Last picture is the 3.38mm / #138 thread Any comments are more than welcome

Tandy will take the faulty ones back...replacing them with a new set or full refund as far as i know

I bought a similar press , made in China, from a US distributor and the dies are horrible . The Line 20 and 24 caps would get stuck in the die and i would have to pry them out. The line #16 dies are usable but very finicky. I also got dies for eyelets along with a bunch of eyelets and they are pretty much useless...they get flatten because the dies are not machined properly. The press itself was badly finished and had rough edges ...poor quality built but did the job somehow. I was hoping to replace the expensive Tandy press along with it's dies but it wasn't worth it I assume there are many Chinese makers of these presses/dies , some better then others, but i will never buy another one unless i can get may hands on it and see how it performs

Left hand T-bar to be more precise...hard to find.

I didn't touch anything else ...i know my limitations...lol...

I had the same problem stitching some of my wallets with the CB 4500 until i had another needle plate made that was a bit narrower and i shaved off a bit the feed dog to fit properly in it. I am using the same set up as you as far as needle/thread combination and same leather thickness and never had that issue anymore. 3 years ago i posted pictures of the new needle plate and as far as i remember , few forum members bought them and were happy with the results.They weren't as fancy as the ones posted by Uwe but they work . If i were you , i would probably stitched this lot by hand just because there are less then 15 stitches at a time. A Tippman Boss would be great for these Here are the pictures

Only the third clicker die is available ...first two are sold.

Accepting reasonable offers...

Clicker dies have to go...accepting reasonable offers

I take the pictures myself

I had to share these ...just found them on Ebay...the seller's name is baverleathercraft

Because of the distressed look of the leather used for the larger bag , i thought leaving the edges unburnished will look better

Ok...i got it now...lol...a picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks again !!!

Here is an improved version of the smaller pouch. I added a card pocket on the back , made the flap longer adding a pocket on the inside too. All hand stitched using #138 thread and the new set of Wuta irons ( 3.85mm) i got few weeks ago. Any critiques especially regarding my stitching are appreciated Thank you !

I am still trying to improve my saddle stitch using stitching irons Here is the front (left side) and the back (right side) .It looks like the i was not holding the irons perpendicularly when punching the holes and the back is not as straight as the front. Critiques and suggestions are more than welcome. Thank you !

Here is a simple card holder made using the Wuta pricking irons...the #207 thread seems a bit to heavy on this one
