Hi Steve, I hope you are in business for 100 yeas! I just took delivery of some equipment from you...the Cobra class 14 splitter is a dream....you know I was actually consider a band knife splitter but Im sooooo glad I went with your spliiter!!! The machine is absolute quailty and that D-2 blade was done by some caring hands...I have done Tool and Die work all my life I know what it takes to grind a lengthy piece of D-2 like that! You definelty are a man who cares about what he sells! Hat's off you! Wind power

Hi Folks, A few posts ago I had a rant about JRM Clips...it was the culmination of lost emails, a dropped order and later it was an email address mishap which got me on a roll. Since then I have gotten two orders from them and the quality is top notch and the price is fanatstic too; If you can buy in bulk the pricing is even better. It seems they have turned things around at JRM Clips and I will continue to buy from them! I have sourced other clips in the past, but JRM, is in my opinion is the best to buy. The finish is good, it is a thicker clip than what I have bought in the past from other vendors; they are well packed, and the customer service is great....I personally deal with "Beth" and she has taken good care of me since my embarssing rant!

Thanks Cyber, It appears the biggest hurdle Im facing is health Insurance

Hi Folks, I know the answer to this question is going to be different for different folks, but I want to ask the group, how much would you have to make each year if you were to leave your job and plunge into this full time? Thanks!

I dont undertand them....I ordered several thousand clips and they said they would invoice me when they had them made up...well about 2-3 months later I check to see what's going on and they said they never had my contact information ( BULL-CRAP!) But they said they would invoice me right away...however after repeated phone calls and emails they still have not even invoiced me!! How on earth do they stay in business??????? Does anybody have a decent supplier out there for metal clips who is not hitting a crack pipe???

With only scan reading the posts, I can tell you my experience with alibaba. Much of it is website for Chinese hardware... I have bought a few things through various suppliers, one product was 100,000 pieces it took a few days for my supplier to make them but once finished and was shipped through DHL, it left Hong Kong and was on my door step with in 26 hours here on the east coast of the U.S.....as to my supplier on Alibaba I would not hesitate to buy from them again

Hi, Can anyone tell me how much they pay for tubular rivets and caps from Weaver leather.... say about 20k at a time? I have a business but Im wondering if it's worth the effort to open an accont with them, it their prices only nuke my effort to do so. Lastly, does anyone know the price of their hopper feed rivet machine? Thanks!

Hi Marj, It looks likes its missing every now and then either he is trying to click it again before the clutch reengages or it needs adjustment....a quick adjustment can be made in the handle arm, by slightly adjusting it in or out or slightly bending it...those machines were designed to be within a range of height cutting board and die....stll a lot of adjustment there! Power off the machine if you feel its in the machine and not the operator cycling it too fas....t adjust the arm and cycle the machine over by hand...make sure you have the power off!...cycling by hand will tell you if your adjustment will allow it to go over a complete cycle without jamming the linkage..if it jams just reverse it slightly and readjust the arm until you get it to completely cycle

OP I have a USM model C clicker too...I love the machine...those mechanical clickers just keep going and going....they can be a safety hazard as someone mentioned if you get forget where BOTH hands are...If it doesn't have it, you could probably fashion a handle, which would block the linkage to trip the machine's flywheel, thus keeping the other hand out of the way, it would require it to be on the handle each time you ran it over....If you need some pictures of the linkage setup I could get some for you. Dot be afraid to purchase this machine...you can easily test it without power to it...first see if the flywheel will turn clockwise by hand when facing the machine, if so, make sure it has stopped and then trip the lever/handle in front, which disengages the clutch then turn the flywheel again slowly by hand and it should make a stroke downward and then back up and you will hear the clutch reengage, after which the flywheel will be just a little bit easier to turn by hand...if it performs this basic function you have a good machine!

Hi, Thanks guys! I tried to pull some of the thread through a rag soaked with denatured alcohol several times....It worked a little bit better but every now and then it still gave me trouble. I will step down to a 207 thread Thanks again!

Hi folks, I have a Juki 441 clone and was wondering how in the world can a paerson sew with wax thread? The machine handles everything I have thrown at it up to 346 but I was needing to use some 277 pink thread but all I could find was waxed....I know from learning in this forum that wax thread gives fits in sewing machines but I tried it anyway and it was a 100% pain in the rear. Does anyone know wax thread can be used in the machine? Perhaps soak the thread in a " thinner" of some sorts to strip away the wax? Thanks

Hi Ramrod, I use the thread exchange quite a bit, but eh best I could find was 207, I'm pretty sure they would probalby have it in a waxed thread, but from what I have discovered waxed thread does strange "juju" while sewing with a machine. I tried replying to you well over a week ago, but it would not allow me to post a reply....or maybe my computer was acting up....anyway sorry about that! All the best!

Hi, I know this has been asked before, But I hope the information has changed since then. Does anybody know where I can find larger thread colors in red and other colors in sizes 277 and up? I know weaver leather has 277, but they want a tax ID number etc. but I'm just dabbling part time I dont quite have that commitment to go that far yet. All the best!

Hi Folks, Thanks for the imput! Well I got my order pretty fast from S-T leather, it took about 4 days for a side of leather to come in, it was as they described no more, no less. Will I give them some more business? Probably so

Hi everyone, Does anybod out there have any experience with S-T leather in St Louis? I spoke to them today on the phone, while they were very helpful it was however a bit of a struggle communicating since english was not a primary language with the person on the other end of the phone. I buy from a lot of various suppliers and one fellow was out of an item, so I thought I would give S-T a trial run.... I hope it will be a pleasant experience. Any info would be helpful....if you have to be very candid about something just shoot me a PM ) Thanks
