To my best of knowledge, Hermes makes the Birken bag right in Paris and it is hand crafted and HAND STITCHED, Louis Viutton is actually not leather... and I am not just talking about the knock offs! I guess you can make what you want and call it what you want, just dont call it someone elses!

I went to the Smuckers auction and was in aww at what the machines were going for! I passed up a killer deal on a 900-b bull becuase I really had no room for it in my truck with the union lock that was in my truck becuase I couldnt pass that deal up! there were junk buyers buying brass buckles and the old unions that were not working for scrap! It was pretty sad, I SHOULD have bought more! Sounds like the weaver auction was a buyers market too! Is anyone going to Mose Miller's auction next month? I want to try to make it down there. -Andrew

I still have this machine for sale if anyone is intersted! -Andrew

I bought it knew for 1500 plus the roller guide for 170 or what ever it cost. Its in great coondition, I'd let it go for 875 with the guide plus shipping. THis is a lot cheeper then Ebay! Loved the machine, but I need room! shoot me a PM or an email andrew(at)awharness.com Thanks for looking! -Andrew _

Since were on the bag punch/strap end topic, who sells the nice ones from KY, I think they are blue... I know that their is a guy in NY who sells them too, but I am talking about the maker in KY, I heard he makes real nice ones... -Andrew

Is the quality of stitch compareable to the union? It just seems like all of the harness makers use the union, but if the landis is that mucher eaiser to use... Sewing machines... its a love/hate relationship isnt it?

Just a questions for the sewing machine guru's on here. Ive got a chance to buy either a union lock or a landis 16. I do harness work, and I really want a needle and awl machine! What machine would be better? I know the landis is a lot slower but is the stitch quality as nice? is it less work to time? is it an easier machine to use? help? Thanks again guys! -Andrew

I have a set and use them! I bought the bissonette style a while back. Its not a bad edger! Holds a pretty good edge too! its comfortable to use. I got the ones with plan handles, and I bought I set of four. I think it was like $60 for four when I bought mine. They're kinda scalpel like. They have their applications like anything I suppose. -Andrew www.awharness.com

I like that stitch cutting tip! Wish I had usd it today! I quoted that woman $200, I think I scared her away! GO FIGURE! Thank you for the input on this subject! -Andrew www.awharness.com

Steve I am dying to see a picture of the new machine and maybe a side by side comparision of the Corba, Toro, Bull and the cowboy. Price as well! In this economy if anyone has the gumption to start a business I have much respect! -Andrew

So before I could tell this woman"I dont reflock saddles" the saddle was on the porch when I got home from lunch... The pannel is already off of the saddle, its an old german made stuben, I figure I might as well give it a shot! Any tips? where to get the flock? can I use just carded wool? any secretes tips on how to sew it back up? how much do I charge? -Andrew

Hey everyone, Seems like the good deals always pop up when I am tight in the budget, well things haven't changed too much, BUT Uncle Sam's check is due in anytime from my tax's! I am looking for: 1) a good bench splitter, an osborn, or krebs style of spliter/skiver 2) a single edge creaser, an old randall or something. I'd rather give one of us the money then Weaver for a brandy new one of each! Look forward to the replies. -Andrew

What weight leather is used for the front and back pieces of leather? typically in a brow band or caveson like this?

with the filler piece what shape is it? is it edged then placed in there? or is it just flat? or do you shave it into a V so to say? -Andrew

Hey I am in south western NH and I do harness work, No saddles... -ANdrew

Hi Blake, I think that 10% extremely fair. This particular tack shop is huge, two tack shops, as well as two huge lumber yards. They will do all the front end work! All I have to do is pick up, and drop off, after I fix the tack. They will run it threw their system and then just cut me a check once a week for the previous weeks work. I know I always give my buddies deals. but not this way!. They want me to make up a pricelist, that is the delemia, BUT I can use my name and web site on the flyer! They will also advertise it as a service. They send a lot of work my way, but I am out of my home as well and its easier to just have them drop it off. They are 4 miles from my house on my way into town, and I buy grain weekly reguardless! I was just wondering what would be a fair dollar amount for an hourly rate and min rate... Thanks for the input though blake! -Andrew
