Thanks , you are darling for taking the time to do all that. Glad I found this place....feels like home

Wow, thanks a lot.I know what I'm doing for the next few days............visiting each one. That would be me http://madtailorleather.comThanks Johanna

Hope so Art. You mentioned changing Oil. .... I guess I'll read the manual first. I'm sure will take some practice to master it, but I'm ready to do the work. Have been in the tailoring trade for over 15 years and any garment machine there is I'm like a race car driver. I'll ask questions soon...... I've seen a video on the web of a dude working on one but did tried to find it again with no luck. Maybe it was not Artisan..... Thanks Art

Thank you all. I got YRsaddles's Artisan 4000. I do not do lots of items so it looks like a god fit for me. ART thanks for laying it down for me.

You still in the top of my list. Let me just get an over all idea of this machinery and will get to you. What will the difference between Toro 4000 , 4000R and 4000P will be? Milen

[quate].................... That's it in a nutshell. Art Thanks a lot. It looks like a good homework to me.

Hi everyone. I need some feedback on heavy stitcher. I have Tippman Boss and it does work fine and all but have been thinking of something more automated and to do similar job. I do not like the fact that the arm is so short, and I have one hand to hold the pieces. It is not a 100% "walking foot" (bottom has no feed dogs). Have seen many use Artisan 3000/4000. Is that the same deal but with motor? I'm using it for heavy bags and such and I'm looking for strong consistent stitch that I can place close to the edge and not have many marks on the bottom. Any expert help will be great. I'm new in the heavy leather deal, but very familiar with any machine for fabric and garment leather (have 5 of them). Here is a bag I did with the Boss, and I have the feeling there is an easer stitcher than that to do the job even better:

I think they are gorges.

Right on. Kick ass.

Nice. I like the combo of hair-on and tooled leather.

That is great wrire up. Thanks

You got to start them early . Right on brother....

Can you post a picture of that slicker? I'm in a look out for one my self. Maybe someone can make it.....Thanks

Nice pair. How do you get the edges to be so nice? Is that burnished by hand? I need some help with that....Thanks

The leather is 6-7 oz.the closures I got from a small shop here in the city. I do not have a picture from the top, sorry and the bag is gone .....

I ride "Honda Shadow Spirit 750" and the tank looks just like yours looking from the top. Any who here is the one I was talking about:

You got that stitching down man. What machine are you using?

Thanks Luke. And sorry for the question (new here) Who is Ed? And English is not my strongest so some of the abbreviations I do not get right away (fine pc?)

Tom , talk to my rep. I can't aford one my self. Just joking....the design is for a special customer, not my personal preference but is good to do something like that once in while.

Thank you Ken. As much as I love lacing after this bag I need a break from it .....LOL

Nice, feels good to finally find a place that everyone is on the same brain wave. Thank you all for the welcome and I'm looking forward to future posts.... Yo Spider I have been looking at yout Avatar , that is a Leather Spirit Tank isn't it. I have a crazy one to show you.

Yo Grumpy . Looking good man. Makes me want new wallet my self.

Hi everyone. New here and firs post also. I see some familiar faces and some really great work in here, Glad I found this Forum. The bag is lined with suede and sides are molded in. Thank you.
