  1. Birthday greetings from Michigan. Thanks for all the great advice. SkipJ
  2. Here is the date for the Weaver Auction 2008: July 16-17: Weaver Auction in Mt. Hope, OH. (330) 674-7548. SkipJ
  3. Luke is this the place? http://www.sewingmachinesales.com/ Or is it the place in Toledo? SkipJ

  5. Matt is that the same as the one I bought in Wickenburg? It looks different and says improved. I didn't think the one I purchased needed improving. Works great for me. SkipJ
  6. I took the class last year and it was great. It was held the three days prior to the show, so you can take some of the other classes offered after the holster class is done. The holster class runs all day so you can't take classes those days. SkipJ
  7. I used both a 3000 and 4000 at last years Wickenburg show and liked them both. I didn't get a chance to sew bullet loops with either because I never had used a leather sewing machine before and we were trying to get everyones holster and belt done in 3 days starting from scratch. As a hobbyist I have a problem with the extra $1000 the 4000 costs. It is awkward to sew the loops with the Artisan 3000 because of the narrow throat. In fact, I don't remember for sure if belt loops were done on the 3000. I guess I should talk to Artisan and get their opinion. SkipJ
  8. Just wondering how many net members attended the Wickenburg AZ classes and show last year. I somehow thought I was the only one, but I've seen several mentions of having taken classes. Also, is anyone thinking about going this spring? SkipJ

    Introduction

    What Vegas show is that. SASS show perhaps? SkipJ
  10. I just looked at Zack White website, they have indian head and buffalo nickel snaps, new to me. I've seen buffalo nickel conchos in Tandy catalog. What's a trigger snap? SkipJ
  11. I emailed Artisan and Jerry says the 25" machine is a TORO-4000 LA 25. They are sold out and expect more in Jan or Feb. SkipJ
  12. A successful leather worker I took a class from buys double shoulders, says it's the most economical buy. SkipJ
  13. I remember that article, I thought the results looked quite professional. The Journal may have a back issue containing the article available. SkipJ
  14. Sorry, I meant that I had found my way to the cookies. How to remove that is. It says I I'm not allowed access, may not be logged in and right below that, it shows me logged in. I'm using Firefox, I have trouble with some sites using that browser. SkipJ
  15. Johanna, I did as you suggested and still cant look at the for sale articles. Don't know if its the tinfoil hat or my Firefox browser. SkipJ
  16. Very nice work, do you do any of your stamps? SkipJ
  17. I don't know if I missed this, but has anyone tried improving their tools rather than start from scratch? SkipJ
  18. How do I delete cookies? SkipJ
  19. Why use dextrose paste? Is it as good an adhesive as Barge? Other advanteges? Van Dyke sent me a catalog in a few weeks. Lots of needles and cutting tools there. SkipJ
  20. What kind of holsters are you making Danial? Western style holsters can get pretty thick and Luke talked about small thin items. Does anyone have an idea what the resale price is for a Boss. I used a Artisan in the holster class in Wickenburg last year and it worked great. And our instructors said that weren't set up for the kind of work we were doing yet. SkipJ
  21. Wickett and Craig are very popular in the Guild I belong to. I'm not sure of the quantities they sell, only sides or smaller sections. SkipJ
  22. Real money for fictional products??? Thats weird! SkipJ
  23. I'll start by asking what there is in Sheridan SkipJ
  24. Don, am I correct in thinking that a western holster for a Bisley Colt revolver would be the same as for a standard Colt single action? I was told by someone in a gun shop, Texas Jacks, that revolver only differed in its grip and hammer and you could convert the Bisley to a conventional Colt by changing backstrap and hammer. SkipJ
  25. Another thought is a new category for video reviews. Not to replace renting but in addition to. SkipJ
