Ross, It appears that logistics, time, energy and funds will be prohibiting me from moving the contents of the shop, which is quite a bit. I will be looking into selling outright or auction. The selling of outright would be preferred, I would like to see everything stay together. If you have interest or know of interested parties, let me know. Bob

Looks good! Can't tell and you may have done it... If not, I would recommend a double stitch on your first and last stitch. -
I have one very similar if not the same... Great machine. -
Thanks. Mulling over what to do with it... I literally have 100's of dies as well. It is becoming pretty overwhelming. -
As much as I would like to take credit and yes I can tool... The credit for this goes to my late Dad who cut, tooled and sewed this for me when he was 82 years old. He was truly a Master of his craft. -

Hello All, I'm new to this site and trying to figure how to navigate. Please forgive if I've double posted or placed things in wrong category. I've uploaded some pictures in the gallery to show some equipment that I have and products made. I am a third generation leather crafter after my father and grandfather who opened his business in 1911. My Dad started in 1948 after WW2. My dad passed away and passed his equipment to me. I am like many of you... One of the few who actually know how to work these machines and work with leather. My problem is one of logistics and finances. The machinery you see in the gallery is located in Northeast Pennsylvania, I unfortunately am located 1400 miles away. This was my father's sole business and source of income of how he raised his family. This would be a hobby to me so I have to weigh the economics. Would I like to move everything to where I live, YES. Is it the smart economic move. Should I consider selling? I have a six month window to figure this out... I have other and better pictures that I can upload, just have to find them. I am just rambling looking for other opinions and thoughts. Thanks, Buck's Son
