So has anyone in the US taken possession of, and using an Outlaw to regularly make salable items? If so a critique as to quality of the results and the mechanical workings as compared to a Tippman would be a helpful addition to the forum. I had an older Cowboy motorized unit that I just never used that much so I sold it and am wondering about the hand crank units. Truthfully I never did get the motorized one fine tuned enough to get comfortable using it. It was always to fast for me even at the slowest I got it to run.
Thank you, it was a lot of work over about 4 days but it turned out pretty nice, most of the wood was scrap I had in my garage from other projects, got lucky with the holes lining up for the all thread.
Been a very long time since I last posted anything but here is a workbench I recently completed. I made it with 3/4" x 3" clear pine on edge with 3 all thread, washers and nuts through to each side to cinch it tight. Then surrounded by 3/4" x 4" red oak sides. I added a lowes vise to the front with doubled up oak and put a tool catch box on the back. I used the legs off an old computer desk and have since added pine frame on three sides as the legs allowed to much bounce. I am in the process of mounting various tools to T shaped pine that can be mounted in the vise such as stitching pony, granite stamping stone. fringe cutter, belt embosser etc. and someday a Tippman.
I know this is an old topic but am bored today and thought I would just chime in. I have one of those hand crank units from Tandy. I do not use it much, but it works fine, after fidgeting with it to get it all adjusted right. I once had the whole thing spring apart halfway through a belt! My fault for not assembling it properly! The bronze embossing wheels are expensive, not really that great in the quality of it's imprints and not much of a variety out there. Wet press is the only way to get a proper emboss. About a year (2007 or so) after I bought it Tandy came out with an open end powered unit but a recent visit to the local store revealed the employees knew very little about either tool and they did not carry them. They did however have a Tippman Boss that I drooled over for awhile before the price tag shocked me back to the reality that I must hand sew for the time being LOL.
Hah, it will be awhile, my leather room is storage right now, until I get finished building a master bath! And I will need to learn how to bead as I do not see any in the stores I shop, but when I do I will certainly post pics.
The wood protects the blade as it is soft pine, protects the leather from the blade and does act as a keeper as it is a friction fit plus ther is a drain hole in the bottom to prevent gunk from accumulating. I read about using wood on a traditional nordic sheath site there are others out there made from plastic and such.
Something is still fundamentally wrong with my account, no matter what I try I can not post any photo's I am frustrated to say the least. Great site though!
Nothing I seem to do allows me to post any pics? I have posted many times in the past but not working now. any cure for this would be appreciated Thanks Jordan

Airbrush tutor.com lots of info and fun video's. I am saving for an iwata dual action suction feed HB-BCS 4200, seems to be an excellent one and the O rings are not affected by solvents. About a hundred thirty dollars at Hobby Lobby.
LOL I would If I knew how to do that, I did post to leatherworker.net Facebroke page and clicked like. Now it won't let me see it and says page not set up for secure browsing, silly computers, I did post about 20 pics in an album on my personal fb page. I think it is jordan.nygaard.facebook. something or other.
tried a different tact attempted to open a gallery and same thing, page just went completely blank and did not create anything. I finally went to the facebook page and uploaded the pic worked fine! LOL.
