Big Sioux saddlery may know who bought shuttles, I don't know to many people, and sometimes like to keep it that way.

Had the chance to go to this sale, lots of Landis, Randall and singer parts, most of the machines needed a fair amount of work. But it was nice to see the tool hoarders and reseller's were keeping prices up, so maybe someday my stuff might be worth something. All in all it was a nice day and a fun sale to watch.

7 oz Herman oak for the outside and the liner, tankote finish. Stitched the way you see it, got to pay close attention to keeping it level as you sew, otherwise the stitches do come out to close to the edge on the backside, Thanks for all the comments

Finished up another one, thought I'd share some pictures.

And by the way, the pinto pretending to be a caddy thing, I see that all the time, auto repair is my mainline occupation, we always recommend a prepurchase inspection or just a test drive by someone knowledgeable .

Your right, but it would still beat walking, I do have to applaud French law enforcement for having time to deal with something like this, over here you'd be told something to the effect of you will have to work it out with the merchant, have a nice day, or buyer beware. Takes some big dollars in fraud to get law enforcement to investigate anything.

My point was if there is no good resolution, that she will still have a machine that does what she needs it to do.

At least it sews, and you can use it, the built in bobbin winder on my Adler slips and doesn't work very well either.

That's to bad it's misrepresented, but does it do what you need it to do?

Yes, location?

Thanks, not real practical but definitely cool.

I'm with jls on this, slots cut to belt size, I use oblong punches from Weaver, seem to work well, holster stays put on the belt.

Thank you for the positive feedback!

This is a holster I did for a gentleman that wanted something to help advertise his business at gun shows and to have a conversation piece in his shop.

Looks like no real people have one of these machines either. Kinda like a 8020 splitter.

Big Sioux, thank you for the reply, that's the information I was looking for. My little guy got a pony last week and he wants a harness for it, and in all the information I have there's dimensions for everything but a pony farm harness. Thanks again, John

I'm looking for finished length of Traces and breeching for a farm style pony harness. Thanks in advance, John

Jls, that what I'd like to do, but it seems nobody actually has one, The Leather Guy in St Charles can order one in, but it's special order only. The price is the same as the Cobra 14, but there would be any additional freight to get it to me since I could pick it up. Youboob has some really good stuff, but I agree anything can be made to look good. I'm a little Leary of the Chinese stuff after buying a cb4500, seems like any accessories I get for it need a complete refit to make them work the way I think they should.

I don't have any experience with the Weaver 205, but I have used a real Adler 205 at the saddle shop, I wish I would have saved my money and got one rather than the cb4500, the Adler runs so much smoother and quieter than the cowboy and seems to make a nicer stitch. When I got my flatbed I waited till I found a Adler 467, accessories and parts are a bit more expensive, but it works very well.

Apparently nobody actually has one in captivity.

Yes, they do look easy to use, I think support from any of the Chinese manufacturers if pretty slim, the quality of support depends on the selling dealer, some are very knowledgeable, some sell the machines, I had to do a lot of fiddling with my cb4500 to get it to work like I think it should.

No, nothing other than what's on YouTube, I sure would like to hear from someone with one.

Other than the people that sell them does anyone have any firsthand experience with the 8020 splitter? I'm thinking about getting one and was wondering how much tinkering and how steep the learning curve is to get it to work as it should. Thank you

When I changed mine it was pretty straightforward, the servo mounted in the same holes as the efka, I needed a different belt and had to lengthen the rod to the pedal.
