  1. I got a random message from a gentlemen wanting a coal mine theme guitar strap for his dad for Christmas. I don't really take orders, but I thought this could be fun since I use to be a coal miner.
  2. A great friend of mine asked me who she should contact to make her husband a pair of chaps. He is a working rancher in San Angelo Texas, and I know him pretty well. He wouldn't want anything flashy. Just a great fitting lair ofnchsls with their brand, and probably some tooling around the waste. When I lived in Laramie, WY there was a leather shop that specialized in chaps and and did some outstanding work, but I can't remember the shop name. Suggestions?
  3. As long as the holster material is panty hose - I say go for it.
  4. I have a 206, and that isn't a 206. But I do believe it is a 226 or corresponding seiko
  5. I have to agree. That machine is worth $1000 in great condition used, but its on the high side of the market. I bought mine for 450$ in heavily used condition, and I considered that a real bargain. A consew 1206 is 1095$ new https://www.tolindsewmach.com/consew-p1206rb.html
  6. I took a job as the state livestock specialist and animal science professor for the University of Maine. By the way, I earned my Masters Degree in San Angelo, Texas.
  7. Beautiful piece. My hands hurt just looking at all those stitches/laces.
  8. I bought one from Ebay a few years ago. Consew 206s are exceptionally popular, so parts are redily available. I think Ive bought most of my parts from Bob Kovar at Toledo Industrial Sewing supply.
  9. I use my Consew 206rb-1 all the time, and I have maxed it out a lot sewing 3/8" veg tan materials. It will sew what you mentioned without hesitation.
  10. It was my understanding the warranty on these clone machines were only through the dealer.
  11. So far, I have had the best luck ordering from Hide House.
  12. Chinese Tariffs hit these clones machines pretty hard. Im not sure how the new trade deal with China will change the prices in the future.
  13. These companies have to enforce their trademarks. If they do not have a record of enforcing their trademarks, they can loose them all together. Gibson and Fender guitars lost their guitar body shape trademarks when they let importers copy their stuff for too long.
