I have used Chicago screws, and metal weld ( you knead the two eliments together) let sit for a few days and it worked well for me...

How about sending me a picture of the basket and the broken straps, then I'll let you know if I can replace for you. I am Stu's Leather Shop in Gainesville Florida, send to: sls905leather AT gmail DOT com

Outstanding Thanks...

Thanks for the info, I love my Cowboy 3200...

I just sent you an email, would like to purchase if you still have it...

I got mine at Tandy Leather, they have them in stock all the time...

I have a GA5-1R for $995.00 Has reverse, cylinder arm industrial heavy duty leather sewing machine, it will sew up to 3/4" of leather or about three layers of 9-10 oz. leather. There are a lot of extras that go with the machine, has servo motor variable, with a step down pulley to slow the machine down. This is a 441 clone style machine, it was gone over by Neel in Lima Ohio who sells the Cowboy 3200, it runs better than when it was new in January of 2014. I am Stu Kanofsky skanofsky@Hotmail.com 352-317-7034, if interested send me a e-mail and I will send you pictures of the machine and all the additional equipment that will go with it.

Like you said, after I get a few hours on it, but so far it is great. One of the best lessons I learned on my trip to Ohio was the so called bonded nylon thread was not bonded, that makes a big difference. It is sewing great, you will be happy with it...

I followed your advise; Just go back from Lima Ohio where I bought a Cowboy 3200 from Ryan Neel, from Neel's Saddlery ( 330-692-1418 ). It was a great pleasure for me to meet Ryan and get to know him, I spent about 6 hours learning about my new machine, and Ryan was a very good and patient person to show me the entire operation of the machine. I am glad I found someone who really knows these machines. I brought my GA5-1R that was having issues, and two repairmen in Florida were not able to fix. Ryan was able to fix and made it work better than when I first got it. His knowledge shines and he loves what he is doing, he is a perfectionist when it comes to getting it just right. About the Cowboy 3200, it is such an improvement over the GA5-1R and the price of $15.95.00, what can I say except the deal speaks for itself. The cowboy 3200 has everything a leather sewing machine needs. I would say if your looking for a good leather sewing machine, give Ryan a call and if you live near him stop in, and let him show you this machine, I don't live close but glad I made the trip.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me...

OK thanks, that is a new one on me...have a great day

Great info, will put it to good use, and thanks...

Thank you Wizcrafts, I read a lot of your post, I do not do to much writing but do get in when I have a question. The Singer 29K4 has been motorized and thoughts on that, again thanks Stu...

I see this is an older post, but if your still out there, can you tell me how the machine sews and what type thread do you use and what weight will it take? Thanks Stu (Gainesvilleman)

Thanks, now I am going to show my new-ness to you, what is IMHO thanks...

I have an opportunity to buy a Singer 29K4 that has been motorized, can anyone advise me if this would be a good buy or not? Also what thread will this machine take, I currently use 277 bonded nylon on top and 210 bonded nylon on bottom. Will this machine take heavier thread, "Thanks I have found that the people on this sight have the answers.

Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us...

I'm still learning how to use this site, I looked on the holsters and sheaths forum, and did not find it, do you have a date it was posted? thanks Stu...

Not sure if I got it correct or not, trying to upload Ruger Mark II template. I have another one with a thumb snap, will upload at another time. You can modify this one any way that suits you, good luck... The belt look is for 2 1/4"

Warrior 193; Sorry it took so long to get back to you, the profile picture is for a Serbu Supper Shorty 12 gauge shotgun. As a retired law enforcement officer I make a lot of items for police departments. One of the local swat team commanders asked me to make this for his Serbu it is only 18" long and they use it to breach doors as it is short enough to wheel around and not bump anything with a long barrel shotgun. The word got out ad I was getting orders from all over the states.

You could try Tandy Leather, they have a lot of patterns, you may have to modify to your specific need, good luck...
