I will send you a PM about my WONDERFUL experience with the CB3200.
-
No. I find haggling to be an inordinate waste of time. Can't tell you how many times I've seen people soliciting "offers" for their stuff...and sent me insulting, low-ball offers for MY stuff...especially when I hadnt asked for any offers. I just don't have the time or patience for it I guess. But that's just me...

I would not recommend a Chinese skiving machine. I'll send you a pm about that later...avoiding a hurricane at the moment...

Where To Get This Money Clip And Wallet Ring
25b replied to J W Craftsman's topic in Hardware and Accessories
You know what I think that is? It looks exactly like a combat boot eyelet...I mean even down to the way it's installed...looks exactly like what's on my jungle boots... -
Yeah, I think we'd all like to be able to buy Shinki, but no one ever wants to say where to buy it. It's more than irksome.

Us Wwi Military Leather Putee Pattern?
25b replied to 25b's topic in Shoes, Boots, Sandals and Moccassins
Yeah...................no. Doesn't look anything near WWI leather leggings. Thanks anyway though... -
Uhh...I didn't pay that much for mine and mine came with an extra blade... But I guess it's worth whatever you can get someone to pay for it.
-
That's called a plough gauge. Might help you find more info about who made it if you have the right name of the tool. Looks similar to mine and mine is a Blanchard.

Ordering Tiger Thread From Abbey England Bound For Usa
25b replied to SmokeyPoint's topic in Suppliers
And a LOT faster than certain leather companies in the US... -
From everything I've read, you do not want to use waxed *anything* in a machine...
-
Did you bevel the edges of your lace?
-
Yeah, the best threads do cost more, but it's worth it in my opinion. I primarily hand stitch too and if I'm going to take the time to do that, I'm going to do it right and with the best materials available.

I use a small (~ 10-15 pound) anvil with a few pieces of leather on top to punch my holes. Haven't broken the anvil yet.

What Size Thread Do You Guess This Is? (Machine Thread)
25b replied to jk215's topic in Sewing Leather
Looks like 92 to me... -
dq7133 -- call Campbell-Randall...they have automatic rivet setting machines and can answer your questions...I'd highly recommend buying from them instead of some unknown source on ebay...
-
Depends on the bell knife skiver...I've seen at least one that will let you skive larger areas than the 2" max per pass that most offer (so only 4" total)...you still have to do it in multiple passes, but it works even for larger areas.

Bell knife skiving machine.

Belt/waist Sizes?
25b replied to DS STRAPS's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Sending you a PM on how to avoid all the inaccurate measurements from customers. -
It's "Gail HoughT"...with a "t" at the end...not "Hough" and I hope the OP would've found the book he was looking for already because he posted this five years ago...
-
Thank you.
-
Ok, so what is the CORRECT address then?
-
Yes. They are out of business. The "search" feature on here is less than worthless. If you want to search, go to google.com and type site:leatherworker.net and whatever you want to search for right next to that and it will work.
-
I buy from Abbey England, so....can't help you with leprevo.
-
I think they can make them to whatever size you need. Might be worth a phone call to them.

If I recall correctly, Nigel said the Seiwa ones were much better quality than the craft-sha ones...for what it's worth. I'd recommend watching his video reviews. He's very thorough and objective. I've used the Seiwa ones and they are awesome. I like them more and more every time I use them.
