Count me in for a pďf this wallet rocks, great job Joe, .

Did you sell the machines?

OK did they say the hide takes 12 months to become a finished piece of leather, was this Andrews tannery? A side must be worth 1000 dollars, bridle leather can't take this long does it?

That's just beutifull!

Interested, if not sold.

W and c long gone from Toronto now Moore Pearsal give Tony a shout good guy 4167893123 he has w and c leather and a lot more!!,

Thanks but not one

There was a member here that home tanned snake skins I think he was in Arizona maybe a retired veteran ring any bells?

Excuse my ignorance I don't know the history of durkopp but are the not made in Minerva

Where in Ontario are you

I have seen skins on both but there was a gentleman that tanned the skins himself and was a way of financially supporting himself he may a retire vetran

Can somebody tell me what member on this forum sells snake skins, if my memory is correct he was a retired fellow from Arizona please help

If you wait for the Tandy sale on the 20 and 24 sets they were about 50 or so dollars a set, worth their weight in gold I have the same press got it from weavers

Heres my 1.5 cents I have 4 different types of "english" bridle 1 being from Sedgwick in England and yup thats the best one on my opinion for a 10oz piece of leather or in and around there WandC and herman tie a distant second but please dont anyone get excited this is just my opinion lol!!!Most times price is a BIGGG factor when I buy a hide thats all folks!!

Just my opinion,, if you let glue dry well most things, or in my case nothing moves!!!I like using double sided tape too but items gets "shifty" glue takes longer and is messier but works better if dried the needle doesnt stick and bring up the material just my 2 cents, hold on we got rid of our pennies up here lol!

This looks like an ad from Toronto Kijiji, is it a right hander? looks like I think

First order with Joyce from Black River Laser, hands down the best experience ordering something online from start to finish just a wonderfull product packaged shipped and delievered perfectly!!!!BIG THANKS JOYCE!!! will be ordering once Im done making my first guitar strap

Im not in the UK but I hear alot about Abbeylane? or Abbey some thing,

Ok guys this is what I was after, Eric you just made up my mind not to get this type of machine I was looking to get something to use for thinner leather a machine that i can put a roller foot on, just for decorative stitching do you recomend any pariticular machine?Thanks for everyones input just a great bunch of folks here!

Anybody?

try CANSEW they are in Toronto

Ok narrowed it down to ddl 5550 and the 555 whats the difference? one is rounded and one is square?thanks for any help!

Whats an acceptable leather thickness of leather for guitar straps, not tooling or veg tan, is 4-5 oz seems nice?I was thinking a heavy chap leather, havnt made one yet was trying to figure out thickness probably going to be lined with thin material or sheepskin?

Theres gotta be a Juki specialist here!

I know that the ddls are not for leather sewing but i need a straight stich machine for general sewing I found a couple localy ones a DDL 5550 and the other is a DDL 5530 they seem the same any body know whats the difference?There are some other DDL's that have a N at the end is this the safety clutch?Juki has so many subclasses it seems very confusing, can any body shine some light?thanks
