I recommend this company and the COBRA CLASS 4 to any serious leather worker that is debating what they should buy,, with out a second thought,,,,, AGREED David PRICELESS

could not find the pics, very interested db

I often wondered about some of the fishing on line and its catch or catches?

100% agree currently doing all of the above,, just got a Cobra 4-25 and cobra np4 skiver and getting a ton of parts from Bob K to rebuild a adler 30-1 A big thanks to both Bob and Steve for their patience and willingness to answer a ton of newbie Q's thanks db

Thanks I'm looking, to add a speed reducer, after the fact to my machine, interested in how the table mods and cutting or machine position are affected db

" Restored, those should last a couple of lifetimes. " great thought but I'm about half way through my first life time and not sure if my contract will get renewed????? just a funny thought,,, db

IT WAS on sale for $249.00

cobra np4 is $1200 bottom feed ,same machine as consew dcs-s3 ,,,,,,,,,,,,cobra np 10 $1900 top n bottom feed

I just got a cobra NP 4 and its the bomb,,, well made ,easy assembly, set up,,FOR LEATHER and now its my learning curve which will need adjustment Talk to Steve,,,tell him what you want and how you wanted it set up.Give samples or pics and they will get it right from the "get go" I also looked at the consew and figured a setup and tested machine is well worth a few $hundred$ more, money saved on the learning curve and test material,,

IMHO bump it up to the cb 2500 and make it work for you ,,,,,, heavy stitch,,,,,and close the ends by hand a couple hand stitches,,, BUT the,,,, Cobra 3 or cb 3500 could be the bomb,,,,,,, just a thought db,,, worth considering for??????????? the next project or one you might turn away,,,, , future investment.......... a little more but a lot of return options,,,,,,db

looks like tandy has an 84 type cheap any one think its worth the $$ http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/3792-00.aspx?tcd=13-B25TEM

Still learning,,, er,,,,, always learning,, love to see something new thanks db looks great..imho..db

Steve and Leather machine is my choice, with a lot of thought and studying and asking Q's. I went with a cobra 4-25 and a skiver from them should be here in a few days Bob at Toledo was also right there and would be another, with out a doubt both first class owners, IMHO db I have singer 211a166aa similar to the cobra 18 , but smaller bobin,which could do what you want, but wanted the little extra from a 441 clone type and a consew 227r as well as an older singer 145w302 beast

thanks , working on some ideas,, db

was wondering 2.5" or 3" ,,, for a strap, for a woman, light framed 5'5 @ 115#,, acoustic guitar thoughts??????

I think a great choice ,,, worth the investment,, congrats db

welcome from David in Gainsville go Gators,,,,

Is a Singer 211G166 similar ?????

Just a thought,, what are most table heights on sewing machines,? My machines are all at 34",to top of table, and on casters,and feel pretty comfortable for me, 6'1" ,,34 inseam legs, for ease of movement,,is this close to the norm??? singer 211 flatbed and a consew 227r set on top of full table no cutout also what height do most users, find best for a 441 clone???? for ease of use??? type of work???? measuring from the needle, or top of cylinder arm??? thanks David,,, just wondering....

A very lucky cat and owner.. nice work,, purrrr fect

Interested sent pm db

Again thanks for the info, it helps so much , for me, and others, to understand the basics and how to do things, as a starter and inspires me to "take a step outside the box and go for it"

What type of machine did you sew on? flat, cylinder,, cylinder w/table, beautiful work and very creative thoughts,,,, care to share a little more of the details,, thread size any points which made you pause for a moment? David
