Thank you folks! I haven't had time to mess with it yet, but will update as I do.

Well, not much is working properly. The machine runs, it runs smoothly, but I cannot dial in the adjustment on the presser foot. It will skive way too much, tear the leather up or skive nothing at all. We have adjusted the sharpening stone, the position of the bell knife, etc. To no avail

We recently purchased this gem of a machine. It was working beautifully and now isn't so much. I have contacted Fortuna, C-R, amongst others, to no avail. Can anyone at all help me with this beautiful piece of lead that is now occupying precious space in my small shop? I need it to skive edges, as its supposed to do, but have been unable to find an actual 'destruction' manual for it. Fortuna themselves couldn't help me...... so ANY help will be appreciated.

Very nice!

Has anyone used the new Cricut to engrave or cut leather yet?

I am actually looking into this as I have access to several 3D printers.

Sorry for late reply, but I am about 2 hours away. Sheaths and scabbards are our specialty.

I put them in a file cabinet if the same or smaller than 8.5x11". Larger patterns I hang on hooks from a shower curtain rod that stays in the shop in the corner.

I am working on one, once I get it proper, I would be happy to upload the pattern measurements. I doubt I will give directions, but I will habe the pattern for you. I go as I go, if that makes sense. Very hard for me to remember directions.

Thank You! The customer was blown away!

We always use welts, yes. We work for custom knife makers all over the country......so we have to be on point.

Thank you! These are out of 8 ounce. And yes, nice and snug!

I am getting bored with the same tooling, over and over and over, but our knife makers request these. Any ideas for new border designs would be appreciated!

I am extremely curious as to why any company would be selling giraffe. These animals are in danger and are protected as at least threatened.

My husband and I make a LOT of items for Conservation groups (legit groups) that fight against illegal poaching and capture. These groups raise money with pur products theough auctions. That being said, Pangolin are the most highly trafficked (illegally) animal in the world right now. Their captures/poachings are illegal, as well they should be.

I use Zack White. They have a huge selection of just about everything and are reasonably priced.

Here is my honest amd very humble opinion. My husband and I work for several custom knife makers and do this 24/7. Our first sheath was horrid. Absolutely garbage. If this is your first sheath, it looks far better than ours did. Welts are extremely important. It is also important to keep in mind the use of said knife. If it's going to be in a showcase, good. If not, the white lettering and other tooling is going to get destroyed. All in all, I think you did a great job, even if it was a kit. Kudos!

Absolutely beautoful. Nicely done!

My husband and I have been making various items for the last 6 years. This past weekend, we had a special request from one of our custom knife makers.....we were asked to make a display sheath. We inlaid copper and found copper speedy rivets. So here it is.

Interesting, as we started making these a few months ago. They are super fun!

I have not used their wheels, but I absolutely love their embossing plates. They are great folks to deal with, as well.

I would be happy to talk to about this. Please message me via LW.Net Thank you!

I may be able to help with that. My husband and I made ano arm brace for me, as I have frozen shoulders.....it allowed me to work, but kept my,shoulder still enough so as to not cause more injury.

I researched this for a man I did some work for. You can Google a guide for this machine. Or go to Randall and email them. They are more than happy to help.
