I think the manual machines are more popular than is evidenced by the posts in this forum. In talking with a knowledgeable Tandy store employee, the Tippmann Boss sold well in their local store. Especially when compared to their offerings of entry level power machines. However, Tandy is ending their relationship with Tippmann and now has the remaining inventory on close out at a good price of $1350. I am told removing the Tippmann Boss is not because of a poor showing in sales but because of contractual issues. I have also been told (and confirmed) that Tandy is replacing the Boss with the Cowboy Outlaw. I predict their sales will do better with the Outlaw. For one reason, the Outlaw looks like a traditional sewing machine. Also, it is being manufactured by the same sources who build the big husky Cowboy machines. I don’t see portability being a big driver of sales. But, there are thousands of leather craft hobbyists and low volume crafters out there who see the manual machines as a big step up from hand stitching. Manual machines are an easy way for an emerging limited experienced leather crafter sewer to take a significant step forward in improving productivity. They are less intimidating and have a faster learning curve. And the prices around $1300 make that step forward easier to swallow.

My Cowboy Outlaw is expected to arrive this Wednesday (02/05/20). Once I crank out a few hundred stitches or so I'll do my first impressions. Now that there are 3 main contenders in the manuals, end user feedback is sorely needed on this machine so everyone can figure out which manual machine is best fit for their needs. Stay tuned!

Bought a Cowboy Outlaw manual sewing machine today from Ryan Neel. Should receive it in next few days. Once I get familiar with it I will do a user review. Lots of You Tube videos on the Cowboy Outlaw but they are all produced by the seller. User reviews on this new manual sewing machine are badly needed to help buyers compare the Tippmann Boss to the Cowboy Outlaw.

Seen all that I could find already posted. Looks stale. No end user reviews yet. Makes me wonder if the Outlaw is not selling or is having problems.

Anyone purchase this machine? Any end user reviews? I am considering buying one of these machines. I have seen several videos produced by sellers but haven’t seen any by actual users. How does the Outlaw compare to the Tippmann? Any comments are appreciated!

Machine is sold! $1,800.00

Nice Techsew 4100 For Sale Asking $1950 I have a 2012 Techsew 4100 with stand for sale. Asking price is $1950. Machine is in excellent condition. Sews perfectly. Accessories include: Double Toe Presser Foot; Center Grover Presser Foot; Left Side Foot; Magnetic Gauge; Wide variety of needles; Sewing machine oil; 5 spools bonded thread; Techsew 5100 Instructional DVD. I purchased this machine in 2014 from another leatherworker who never got to use the machine because of illness. Since my purchase I have only put about 4 hours on it. I now have decided to sell it because of health reasons. I cannot ship nor can I deliver the machine. It is located in Granbury, Texas which is about 40 minutes south of Fort Worth, Texas. I will consider any reasonable offers.

I live in Texas near Ft Worth. Still got the 4500 for sale? I'm in the market for a good used one.
