This is a listing for a Tippmann Boss (not cast iron) with a number of accessories. The price I am asking for this unit is 1050.00 and I'll pay UPS shipping with insurance. This machine is in near new condition and has been completely gone through be the Tippmann factory just two months ago. I'll accept PayPal and will ship as soon as funds are received. Here is what I'm offering: The Tippmann Boss stitcher Center, Right and Standard presser feet Stirrup Attachment Lubricant Box LED Light for the Boss 1 Additional Shuttle Assembly 10 pack of needles Tippman standard tool kit, allen wrenches, bobbin winder attachment, etc. User Manual Original Packaging Check the prices for yourself at Tippmanns' web site http://www.tippmanni...b20be3573715a31 If you say you want to buy this machine, I'll send you a PayPal invoice to your email address. I'll give you three business days to transfer the funds. If you do not respond withing that period of time, I will cancel the PayPal invoice and move on to the next person in line. To be fair to everyone, the time stamp on your PM will determine who responded first. Steve

I am closing this topic due to a lot of confusion and misunderstandings. I am going to re-open is topic as Tippmann Boss for Sale Take 2. Steve

Particle, no cold feet here. Someone wants it in Florida but hasn't came up with the cash yet. I'll give them a couple of days, like I would give anyone. If they don't pay within the next few days then it's back up for 1050.00 and I pay the shipping. Seems it would have been easier to go the Ebay route though. Steve

Actually, he was the first person that responded to my post. I haven't seen any response or payment yet. If he doesn't respond soon, I'll put it up again for the public to bid on Steve

I'm not sure. Someone in Florida said he was going to buy it and I have sent him a PayPal Invoice for it. I'll post the status here early next week. Steve

Okay, here are pictures of this machine and the accessories that go with it. Steve

It's a couple years old. I'll post pictures later today. Steve

Art, thanks for the reply, and with the description you provided. I was actually able to find more info from a google search after reading your post. I'm guessing I won't need one at the class as I don't plan to make that type of holster. The other tool, I'll just bring a big screwdriver and play stupid! Steve

I am hoping to be able to attend the Wikensburg show in February. The workshop I want to attend is the 'Secrets of Professional Holster Making' put on by John Bianchi and company. In their course description they mention several tools to bring but, as a newby, some of these are foreign to me. Can anyone tell me what these are? 1. throng puller (shop made) 2. forded tool (shop made) Also, if anyone has any thoughts about taking this course, good or bad, I'd love to hear those as well. At 795.00 it's a lot of money to spend, I hope it's worth it. Thanks, Steve

I have a Tippmann Boss which is in excellent condition. I have recently upgraded to a Cobra class 4 machine. Here's what you get: The Tippmann Boss stitcher 5 Pack of bobbins Center, Right and Standard presser feet Flatbed Attachment Stirrup Attachment Lubricant Box LED Light for the Boss 1 Additional Shuttle Assembly 10 pack of needles Tippman standard tool kit, allen wrenches, bobbin winder attachment, etc. User Manual Original Packaging Normal prices for all of this are as follows: Tippmann Boss 1495.00, sometimes they run specials and you could buy it for 1195.00 5 pack bobbins 20.00 Right presser foot 37.00 Center presser foot 37.00 Flatbed attachment 135.00 Stirrup Attachment 74.99 Lubricant Box 20.35 LED Light for the Boss 24.99 Additional Shuttle Assembly 42.50 10 pack of needles - came with the machine http://www.tippmanni...b20be3573715a31 So, if you bought one new with these accessories it would either cost 1886.00 if you paid 1495.00 for the machine or, 1586.00 if you got the machine at 1195.00. I am willing to sell the whole package for $1050.00 and I will pay standard UPS shipping. Steve

I bought one of these from Chris as well. Do you use anything on the leather during the burnishing process? I've heard people say to use bees wax. Steve

Dwight, I'll give your method a try. Thanks for your help. Steve

I'm new at leather working but the last two holsters I have attempted to make have come out way too tight. So tight I can't get the gun in the holster. I've been using the following formula. After I lay out a holster pattern, I measure the width of the gun and add the thickness of one layer of leather.(half of the gun width plus the thickness of one layer of leather) I use this measurement to place my stitch line on the leather. In most cases, after sewing, the holster is too tight to even get the gun into the holster. Even after I wet the leather, I still come up short. Is there a formula that works more often than not? Thanks, Steve

I'm fairly new to leather working and have learned a lot from this forum. I recently started making holsters. I made a template for a holster but found out before I sewed it up that it was going to be too tight. On the leather I used a small pointed tool to mark where my stitch line was going to be. I moved my line out before I sewed the holster and now the gun fits fine. My problem is now, I have some small marks where I marked the first stitch line. Is there any way I can either make these marks go away or at least reduce their appearance? Steve

I recently started making leather holsters. I have a Tippmann Boss sewing machine and have been able to make some fairly decent holsters. My question is this, what size needles and thread are most commonly used? I'm using what Tippmann Industries calls a 200 needle and 277 thread. The needle is a Chisel point type. My question is, should I use smaller needles and thread, or should I change to a round point needle. I typically fabricate my holsters from two pieces of 9 oz leather. Any thought would be appreciated. Steve
