Just a note to myself that i'm caught up with public and private requests. Just let me know if you want access. Johanna

I would love to join you again, if you'll have me. Johanna

Barry King makes great tools at affordable prices, you don't have to wait a year to get them, and he's a really nice guy. Please please tell Barry that you appreciate him helping to sponsor LW. We couldn't pay our bills without the companies you see the banners for, and we are grateful for them all. ~J

Guys, I love all of you, and I am closing this topic for everyone's benefit. I wish people would stop posting "which machine is best?" topics and post "I want to do this and that, what will work best for me?" You guys all know your stuff, and we're grateful you share your insight and knowledge. Let's keep our discussions relevant and useful, and not make a circus out of leatherworker.net. People come here because they want to know something, not because they want to trigger landmines. Johanna

The "except for the snake" remark went too far. If this conversation degenerates further, I will close this thread. Johanna Admin

The Artisan, Cowboy and Cobra will do what you need, and all three have excellent customer service. I suggest calling the dealers and talking to them. You'll get a good idea of the kind of "after-service" you can expect, and they might have other considerations you haven't thought of. Do your homework, and you'll be satisfied with your purchase.

Okay, I think I'm caught up again! Let mer know if I missed you or you decide you want access to the NSFW area. Thanks! Johanna
