Yes!!! He will be down there Saturday but makes runs to Ocala all winter

I'm headed from NH to Harrisburg pa in a couple weeks, could also put this on a truck and trailer headed to Ohio, Midwest and even buffalo NY area!

Just wondering if anyone has an edge guide for sale, i ordered one a couple of months ago but its been on back order from Campbell Bosworth. Just worth a check again on here! -Andrew

Where in Canada? I can get this beast to buffalo area no problem! Can't help on the exchange rate though!

I have a 20" artisian splitter all set up with a motor and stand on wheels. works well, i'm a harness maker. I don't need anything this wide! $1,750 im located in NH but can help arrange shipping via horse transporter across the country, I haven't sharpened the blade or butchered it at all. I've only stropped and buffed it!

Hey, just picked up a Campbell/Randall stitcher, it's in great shape, has a ton of extra parts, but I'm looking for a few things! - material edge guide -razor feet to sew rolled reins with the throat plate - step up, pricker feet I know I end up collecting extra parts for all the machines I have, just looking to see if anyone has anything out there! -Andrew

A crop has a much different action than a "buggy whip" I sell a lot of Westfield whips, and have been to the factory many times. Westfield is the oldest whip manufacturer in the world, and makes a superior products. Their cores are predominantly fiberglass, depending on the application. Traditionally they were made of whale bone (baleen) they would put rattan on the outside and wrap the core with linen and laqour them. A crop, or the shorter bat typically has less action and at one point they would have been made of holly wood, ewe wood, or bamboo even.during the industrial revolution souther plantation owners would also have what they referred to As a "walk trot stick" used with saddlebreds. It is fashionable for carriage whips with a drop lash to be made of these traditional woods as well. With the carriage whips finished, unwrapped with a plaited thong that has a baleen tip with a split goose quill and "whip stitched" top is what you normally see. The lash will go anywheres from 1/3- 1 1/2 of the way down the shaft, depending on the turn out. The lash must reach the shoulder of the furthest horse. The materials change with the times. Goad sticks and whips for oxen can be made from white ash, as this is a popular hobby still in New England I still see kids running around the local fairs whipping on each other. Be resourceful for that right feel, a lot has to do with personal preference. Carriage whips are all about balance, from carbon fiber to holly whips, balance is paramount. with a crop, it's more used to encourage, maybe a little spank, but the rider has the option to use seat, and legs to cue the horse.

Sergey at SewPro was showing me his skivers last time I was down there, they are as Dan calls "inspired by the fortuna" ha! He sets them up with two motors, a constant running motor and a servo motor for the feed. Not are mounted under the table, and he does this not both the bottom feed, and the top and bottom feed. -Andrew

Casey send me an email I'm in NH andrew@awharness.com

I wouldn't have been happy either! I read the thread about the undertaking to get it up and sewing again, sounds like it was a mess! Did nick not want to make good on it? I would have requested that he swap out the head! I know I've dropped the ball before, and then bent over backwards to make good on my word for different things I've made for clients that didn't end up working out for them for one reason or another.

I've bought several machine from nick-0 and had really good luck. One of which was an Adler 467 and the other was a 20" artisan splitter. Both had been used, both came in working order. Nick moves a lot of machines, and is a fairly large company personally I wouldn't hesitate to order from him again. He crates, packages and sets them up pretty well from my experience. I do believe that he has been an advertiser on here in the past. -Andrew

I've got one, I never use my stitching horse I love the little colt so much! Pretty slick, well crafted!

I've seen several rotary die cutting machines by bluegrass leather out of KY both were in Amish shops who worked in biothaine -Andrew

The clamps and presses are primarily used for impressing box loops, such as on show harness, carriage harness ect. I would be interested in these for they were to become available, I make harness and would use them.

I'm looking to buy a domed creaser, would like a weaver, or newer one that has steel rolls on the top and bottom. Thanks!

One of my 441's is skipping stitches all together in reverse, and occasionally going forward. Changed the neeedle, re threaded, pulled the shuttle, cleaned that out. Retimed it... Any input??? Thanks! -Andrew

Hey I've been wondering/looking at stitching, comparing, analyzing, collecting, investing in presser feet and modifying presser feet for my 441 machines in my shop for some time! After sewing horse harness and comparing stitches it seems as though what's sewn on a Randall with pricker feet is slightly cleaner looking. 1) has anyone made pricker feet for the 441? 2) how about that throat plate that's slanted slightly to move the bottom stitch further away from the edge? Attached is a picture of a show harness I made -Andew

andrew@awharness.com ill take a look at some pictures of the machine for sale! -Andrew

I just use a propane torch. You get the feel of it pretty quick!

That's a really nice winker brace mold! You don't run across those often!
