    I have a Cobra NP-4 skiving machine, and looks damn near identical. I'd give them a call over @ Leather Machine Company (https://www.leathermachineco.com/) ask for cobra Steve:) hope this helps

    Thanks for the link and recommendation, I just dropped an order and waiting now for it to come in:) I usually shop at Tandy's but their colors and types of thread are limited:( cant wait to try this. I feel I'm ready for the upgrade if its half of what I have been reading about it:)

    I have a cobra class 4 that have a flat bed attachment over the cylinder arm. I swore I saw a cowboy cylinder arm machine with one as well. On the cobra website I ordered mine for $95 as an accessory after I realized they made one:) If you haven't contacted them yet, I would ask them at Toledo.

    It sounds like you have your mind pretty set. I see it like this, if its a purchase you are happy about making, and you can comfortably afford it. Get it while you can and have fun with it. I have three myself, but I still find myself hand sewing. The downside with a machine is every stitch path has to be planned and you will have to pull out a scrap piece to check your settings every time (set up time). Hand stitching you can pop a stitch on the fly in less time, and headache. I love using both and a machine opens so many doors to styles and cutting down on product time. Hope this helps, and also everyone here make really good points. I'm glad that you came here for advice, that is why I love this forum we help one another.

    I saw a video on Tandy's website and it shows some of the details. With their craftaides it gives you info on the tools used so you can try it out. being a not so good tool-er, it is hard to determine what would be best to use for what.

    For this being a first post, you really blew the hinges off the door! nice work:)

    You have a great eye for detail, I look forward to seeing more of your work here:) Truly inspiring

    Is it me or did you add a splattered blood effect on the shoulders? Nice work, I love it

    I find using the Fiebing's saddle soap w/glycerin before Appling a color tends to come out a little more even, and your less likely to have contamination on the surface that acts as a blocker/ blotch-er.

    Thank you:) I did see that one, but I was hoping for a craftaid type of pic that kinda guides on the tools you can use along the image.

    I'm trying to find a good tooling pattern of a bald eagle in flight. I've tried the patterns on the leather craft library and not too impressed, because they seem too generic on the body, the wings look good. I'm not the best it tooling, but I do like a challenge. Any suggestions are a huge help, I tried the search here and really didn't find anything which is why I'm bugging y'all:)
  15. DarkGoku
    That looks great
  16. DarkGoku
    I'll check that out, I didn't think to look at Home Depot or Lowe's. I need to make a trip there today anyway:) Looks like I have some testing to do this week end. ill post the results and pics of what I find:)
  17. DarkGoku
    I'll see what I can find, and ill get back to you. I know that a lot of the ones I've used harden halfway through dying a holster which makes really bad streaks and scratches.

    @Fredk this may be a dumb question, but I'm having a problem finding a sponge that doesn't spread out and become loose, or harden when I use Fiebing's pro dyes. I tried different types like the yellow non-scratch(harden), all of the different Tandy's sponges either harden or spread out too soft its hard to control. Please tell me there is a sponge that holds its shape and allows structural integrity!
  19. DarkGoku
    Thank you, this helps a lot now that I find myself wanting to make more belts. Great work on the pdf.
  20. DarkGoku
    I usually find a cheap cloth or canvas and deconstruct it, great pattern and gives a great idea on adding and taking away from the design. I know its not a direct answer to your question, but I hope it helps
  21. DarkGoku
    does it come in a shoulder rig? lol that there is the greatest thing I have seen in a while! im thinking of attempting it, my sis is about to have a little one soon.
  22. DarkGoku
    Thank you AMEN Thank you Yes sir
  23. DarkGoku
    I love it, you can make so many styles
  24. DarkGoku
    Thank you

    She looks sexy, and once clean she should work good for you. There are a couple things I see that looks incomplete. but it could be just the model. I will try to confirm it for you
