Thank you for the pattern.I'm not able to print that size. If I take my printed version to staples, can they enlarge it?

I noticed that Rocky Mountain Leather is selling French Clams $187 . They look well made. Jim

I just received one Robert Beard made for me. It was worth the wait and extra money . I had to wait about a year. I realize this is an old post. Just in case there are some new guys & gals looking for a custom stamp.

I am looking for an Indian with head dress, or something that can represent Indian motor cycle.

They are beautiful. Jim

What kind of splitter do you use? Nice job.

I like the look. Where did you get the Goat?

Hi Electrathon, Thank you for the examples of the angle stamps.I'am not sure if you remember me. Some time back I wanted to purchase a stamp from Robert Beard. I didn't know how to go about it. I did some research on the internet and came up with a phone #. I called the number and I got a recording, I left my name and number. I received a call some time later by a gentleman who was extremely nice. I am from NJ/NY area, and being so I don't trust people that I don't know, and very few that I do. Any way, we talked for about twenty minutes or so. He told me everything you could possible want to know about how he makes the stamps and how I can make up my own design. To make a long story short, I didn't know if this was the real Robert Beard.I figured that someone as popular as he is wouldn't have time to talk as long as he did to me.I follow a lot of your posts and Johanna's so I asked you both if this sounds like the real Robert Beard. You found it somewhat amusing and told me it sounds like the real deal. I just wanted to thank you and Johanna for steering me in the right direction. I told him that I wanted a Basketweave stamp with an arrow head theme. He told me he has a picture of what I wanted in his mind, he will make me the stamp. He explained that the stamp will be given a # and it is mine. He as you know is such a fantastic man. About a year later I received a phone call from his assistant telling me that my stamp was finished and how much he likes it. I received the stamp and it is beautiful. It is a pleasure to work with it. I hope Robert has some spare time to read this post, he is a true artist in what he does. For all of you folks that never tried his stamp, it is worth the money. I just wanted to thank you again for helping me out. If I can get a good picture of something I stamp that I didn't mess up I will post it so you can see the stamp. Thanks again Jim

Great job on Johnny, How can you not like Johnny.

What kind of lining leather did you use? I like the wallets, they look great. Jim

With all the talk being about doing edge work, I have to say that Hidepounder has one of the best edge markers I have ever tried. He is to modest to mention it. It is a plastic tube about 5 to 6 inches long with a felt tip and I think it has a marble inside that keeps the dye flowing. You put your own dye in it and paint it on the edge. It is very neat and works like a charm. Thank you Bob for a great product. Jim

I like that very much. I was thinking of 2/3 oz Hermann Oak and adding the Goat Skin for a lining. Is the Goat skin expensive? What is Kip skin? Is that Goat skin?

I tried the horse front for wallets. My problem is , if they don't like the color there is nothing you can do about it. I personally don't like it. There is nothing wrong with the leather, I just don't like the color or texture, I felt I should of got the veg tan instead. The folks at Maverick were great. Jim

Hi All I like the glue pot that is pictured above I like it very much and is cheap compared to the others that look similar to the one pictured above. The problem with it is the shipping, for me anyway. They want $20 just for shipping. That is twice the cost of the glue pot. I need to find one in my area. If not I will keep the glue in the can it came. Thank you for the information. Jim

Nice edge work, looks great. Jim

What kind of leather did you use on the first wallet with the initial H on it?I like very much, plain but classy. Jim

Nice, is that wet molded? I like the size of it. I would like to try that with deer skin, I just wouldn't be able to mold it. Jim

He is willing to sell it for $800 act fast he is moving.

I am bad with posting photos, not good on PC. After all the trouble you guys went through telling me about the JUKI I changed my mind about buying it. If you know anyone who lives in the NJ, PA area who would want it, I will give you the e-mail address. I just don't sell enough leather items to make it worth buying a machine. All you guy are really great and I do appricate all the help you gave me. Let me know if someone is interested, I will give you the guys address. I can tell you now I guess. It is on craigs list Philadelphia. He has the pictures posted. Thank you all again. Jim

Juki Industrial Sewing Machine with Adjustable Servo Motor.webarchiveJuki Industrial Sewing Machine with Adjustable Servo Motor.webarchiveIt is the 1541S Thank you all, I hope this opens.

That is a big help. Thank you so much. Jim

Thank you for the reply. Is there anything I should be looking for if it runs? Like I said, I never operated asewing machine.

I have a question regarding a JUKI for sale. I have never used a sewing machine of any kind before. I came across a JUKI for sale, he was asking $1200. I told him it was out of my price range I only had $800. He said he couldn't let it go for that price. A week later he contacted me and said my price was the highest offered, I can pick it up if I have the $800. I don't know anything about sewing machines. The fact is I never thought he would come down that low. I am not sure if that is low. That is why I am turning to you Gals & Guys. I saw a few pictures, it looks in good shape. He said it has a Servo motor and comes with a table and could take multiple needles and could sew through 10 oz leather. There are #s on the side DNU1541. He said it is in excellent condition. Well what do you think? Jim
