......needs a new set of spur straps, and has two dogs that both need new collars,... what could he do........get matching dog collars and spur straps! Veg tan double shoulder from Hide House ....

Thank you. I will give it a try. I have used a variety of concoctions and products, with varying results.

Hello all......anyone here used this? Sounds good, and it would sure be nice to have a great edge burnishing concoction.....

What style/type of buckle are you considering.....brass....stainless....nickel plate ? Size?

Holy smokes......I continue to be awed at the talent that is abound around here!

A longer stitch will help i.e. less spi.

Thank you.....Practice and Barry King stamps......good stamps do make a difference.

Was just checking your imgur page....is everything sold but the deerskin?

Very nice .... Nice photos as well

I was in your same boat ........ bought the Cowboy 3200 ...... a very nice machine that worked perfectly for wallets, spur straps, belts, guitar straps and the like......I did have a need for a flat bed for as I make waxed canvas and leather tool rolls......ended up with a Ferdco 206HL (which is essentially the same machine as a Consew 206RB) ....... I know you are looking for one machine that will fit the bill for everything, but not sure it exists...you will be sacrificing something on either end of the spectrum.........Don

Thanks guys.....

Nice post......I also make wallets out of Horween chromexcel.......unbelievable patina......here is mine after 7 months......

Btw.... Dog collar looks good!

Funny similar story and I feel your pain.....just yesterday I was finishing up a Horween chromexcel guitar strap..... Completely done with the exception of stitching.....stitch groove slid off course, and bam! Guitar strap becomes a couple of dog collars as well.....crazy how quickly a stupid mistake can happen!

Wow...that is beautiful! Nice looking work....

Thank you all for your replies..... Bruce.....the basketweave stamp is a Barry King.

Very nice .... I am in the process of making a set of working chinks.......I am finding the simplest of patterns/templates are more difficult than meets the eye. Nice job on yours!

Hello All......A couple of pieces off the bench in the recent past.......A basketweave belt with a Wages buckle set.....Veg tan lined with Horween chromexcel horse front.....And a knife sheath for a case folding knife.....same veg tan leather. Thanks for looking and thanks to all of you who I continue to glean valuable information and knowledge from............Don

Maverick Leather in Bend OR.

I agree.... Give money back and get the holster back. The one thing I completely disagree with as far as eBay goes is negative feedback that is completely unwarranted, and the difficulty in getting it removed....hope you don't have to deal with this as well.

Sounds good

Where are you located Bob? I have the Cowboy 3200 and a Ferdco 206, both of which I sew fairly thick leather with. I am in Gardnerville and you are welcome to come down and see both in action. Don

Hello all.....going to visit my brother in San Diego.....any leather supply outfits where one could buy double shoulder/backs hides etc? Thanks. Don

That is very nice......
