Very nice........the black and red is a great combination........(where did you get the "blued" gun?.... :-) ..... )

I have CS Osborne punches.....I don't remember if they were labeled belt punches or drive (I believe they are the drive punches). They are very nice, heavy, and I have no problem with them punching through anything

Hello All.....first post of photos here.......been a woodworker my entire life, and for several reasons am getting into leather work...living on a ranch with lots of tack to repair, both here and neighbors, as well as just wanting another skill. I have gleaned a fair bit of info. here on this site.....thank you all! Horween leather valet, and a couple of front pocket card wallets....I am learning a lot about cutting....sewing....etc. And learning about the "learning curve" of leather work...........Thanks for looking and looking forward to being a part of this community..... Don

Very nice. Thank you for taking the time....

Hello all......just want to introduce myself. Don is my name. Retired teacher, now a rancher as I married a ranch girl. Most interested in making tack, wallets, sheaths, etc.....any leatherworkers in my neck of the woods.....be talking to you all.

Hello...........I just printed out you Template and Directions.......thank you very much!

I should have mentioned I own a Cowboy 3200 ...... I would be using this for lighter work.....is it a good machine?

Hello all.....I have the opportunity to purchase locally a REX 11-155R. $200 and has the table, extra bobbins etc. it is a plug and sew that works just fine according to the seller. Any and all advise is greatly appreciated. Don

Very nice. Can I ask where you got the clip?

Interested in all if still available.... photos? Price?

Good advice.....thank you.

JW......thanks for the reply. Ironically, I have since decided to purchase the Cowboy CB3200. It will fit my needs much better, and then I can always do what you have done and buy a flatbed machine if needed. I just have not decided yet where I am going to purchase....Neels or Toledo ......I have sensed the same about Artisan customer service.

Thank you Itch for the reply .... I have done the research through Artisan .... I am just curious if someone here on site has personal experience with it.

Hello All.......First of all I would like to introduce myself......New member from Gardnerville, NV. in the Carson Valley. I am interested in making some chinks for ranch work, and I have the opportunity to buy an Artisan 1797AB, with very few hours. The current owner made a few fancy motorcycle chaps and says the machine is virtually brand new. Is this machine going to be heavy duty enough for chinks, chaps, tool rolls etc. I can get it for $1000, maybe a little less. Thank you for any and all information and advice. Don
