Hi Is this still for sale, i am based on south cost so not miles away. If so how much are you asking for it. Thanks Leatherstrap

I have just sold one and i showed the guy that come to look at it sewing 3/4 thick of sedgewicks bridle leather... Yes as soon as he see how easy and how good the stitch was needless to say he was only too quick to buy it....apart from the fact it was original and superb condition.. I must admit they are a fantastic bit of kit..

Sent you one back 👍👍

Wimsew machines are from Ray at wimbledon sewing machines...a singer 132 or 45k will do rygs and leather no probs but can mark the underside of leather depending on what you are sewing... there is a busm #6 harness stitcher on ebay. Actually there are 3 but 2 of them are massive money and look a little rusty and oil dry... Depending on your budget you might want to get the right machine first rather than one now then one later.... Where in the uk are you.. Atb Ls1

Nice machine but i know nothing about adlers but someone will know whats ok on here... Just remember if you buy from a private seller just cost in the fact you will need a service and perhaps maybe a repair if need be as not everyone are 100% genuine

The 563 is a good machine but i would always recomend having a servo motor on it. I personaly wouldnt have a clutch motor anymore but thats just me. What thickness of leather are you sewing?

Hi storm Im also in uk and ive sold a machine to one of the people that have one of the ones your looking at on ebay he was a nightmare to deal with. I sold the machine on a sunday and it was back on ebay on monday for double the price.. What part of the uk are you in?? Pm me and i can suggest a good trustworthy guy thats based in london who may be able to help you. Ls1

True but i also have a spare stored at my brothers house that i could get if needed 👍👍

Im in the uk and i make horse harness and can sew upto 3/4 inch on my busm #6 and for the thiner bits (1/2inch or less) i use a busm pilot. To be honest i am thinking of importing a techsew 5100 and selling the two busm machines...i know some will think im mad but i think if i have one machine to do both then thats more room i have and less to pay out with having both machines serviced... Atb Ls1

Thanks for info ron i will inbox you for details.....whats the difference between the cowboy 4300 and the 5100??? Just curious thanks

Thanks for your help. i will look at the sites

I have a #6 busm stitcher and a busm pilot and im thinking of getting a techsew 5100 to do the job of both or just the #6. Where in the uk would i get a 5100 or where is the best place in u.s or canada to get the full package....head,servo motor, stand/table and import to uk without paying a fortune for import duties...

What would this be covering and is it possible to cover the item.. i assume it must be some sort of case you want made up.

I make a new style of slip lead like the Waterloo cup coursing style ones. It has a quick release on the wide collar rounded leather leash with a trigger at the top on the hand loop. They work quite well too. I use one on my Laguna whippet bitch. If I get chance I will upload a picture for you.

Hi gaffer What quarry would you hunt with this type of dog having the bull mixed in with a running dog. And could there be an issue if she is running a rabbit or something and it shoots in a hole near undergrowth could the collar get caught on any brambles or tree sticks. Nice collar tho

Les Don't forget me when you and your mate are casting hardware because me and my uncle will no doubt want a few bits and bobs. Especially harness fittings Thanks Sheldon

What part of the uk are you in. You could always ask ray at Wimbledon sewing machines once you have found the machine you want. I have a busm pilot and a number 6 both these machines do the thickness you talk about but are old machines. I did have a singer 132k6 that done this thickness but it had been pimped out by a specialist. My choice would be a cowboy or number 6 Hope this helps

The gold I done on my #6 and the (grrrrrr) pilot was done with a steady hand and two sized nibs of a paint pen. I cheated a little but later I would love to do it with a lining brush. It seems to have worked ok for me but do take a fair bit of time to do Steve. If I see them on my travels I will pick a few up and carrier pigeon them to you if you like

Wow Steve it's a good job you have good contacts in the uk. I'm glad you had quite a bit of stuff from this chap. But I do have to say sorry. The early bird gets the worm. The pilot is a wonderfull machine. If I see anymore I will let you know. Sheldon

Thanks it wasn't like that before I managed to get all the crusts off all the built up wax and the dust from the bone dry cogs. I've give her a good clean and had a service and its like new. Keep trying ray he will more than likely help you out but may take a few calls

A belated hello from portsmouth

Was the saddlers name power by any chance I only got this a few months ago from a saddler in Walsall. The firm was an old company and employed a lot of people. Hmmm I wonder if this was one you used

Try wimbledon sewing machines (london)ask for ray. Ray has his own sewing machine museum there and is very knowledgable. Have you considered a BUSM pilot. They are very hard to source but really are the mutts nuts. Ray had one for sale a few months ago. Not sure if its still available but however he do manage to get other machines. I have a pearson 6 and a pilot for doing harness and they both do what I need. Pilot will do from 1-2 mm to 13 mm and pearson 6 will do fence panels with right needle. The busm machines are quite hard to find here in uk but do come up from time to time. My pilot took me 2 years to find. Then just like a bus (can't find one and when you do another turned up a fortnight later) hope this helps you

Sure is Steve Thanks for doing that for me it's really appreciated Hope the Randall turns up soon for you then you can have a good fettle with it and make another masterpiece good as new

Also. Do anyone know where I could possibly get another foot for it as the one I've got is a bit too well worn. It comes around the side of the needle bit I'm wanting one that comes from the rear of the needle as like conventional machines Thanks Ls <img src="http://i.imgur.com/PsUiGf6.jpg" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" />
