Thanks all for the responses, but I decided to purchase a CB3500.

If anyone is looking to offload a Tippmann Boss, please let me know. Thanks

Thanks all for the information. Unfortunately the Cowboy CB3500 machine is what i want, but is just out of my price range right now. I probably will settle on the manual Tippmann Boss for now and save up for the CB3500. Thanks again. Great information, especially the article on the sewing machines. Warpe

I am starting off making holsters, and i have quickly tired of sewing by hand. I am not planning at this time to "mass produce", but i do want to lower my man-hours for making a holster. Within my budget are two machines that I am looking at. One is a Sailrite LSZ-1 (with upgraded equipment) and the other is a Tippmann Boss. I realize they are both at opposite ends of the spectrum, but as i said before, I take my time. My concern is if the 3/8 clearance on the LSZ-1 is going to quickly become a liability. I usually work with 6/7 or 8/9 oz leather. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to purchase a machine and than turn around in a couple of months to upgrade just to sew thicker leather. Again, I will be primarily making holsters, belts and ammo/mag pouches. Thanks ahead of time for input. Warpe

Hey Mary....welcome

Hello to all. I have worked with leather for years, but just the simple farm stuff. I have started to get serious about holster and belt making. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. Look forward to this site.
