lately i've been seeing semi-freuquent cases where it seems like page loading is wating on something from leatherladyproductions.

I would love to see more photos. Looks like the front under the flap is made from 3 separate pieces of leather. If you can't post more I can Private Message my email.

I am now the proud owner of a used 5100? But looking at the specs it says for use from 6oz to 7/8". I will not be using light weight leathers but never anything remotely like 7/8" and probably mosty from 4oz to 6oz. The deal was too good to pass up but I'm wondering if I bought something not well suited to the weights I intend to use it for. Also the proud owner of LU 563 and more patchers than I have fingers on one hand.

What about the "self oiling" aspect for a used 367? I'm looking at a used one that has been used in a factory for years. Is this a concern?

I'd like to see pics also

I'm in Brooklyn and just saw your posting. Any equipment still available?

The Harrisburg store is great! I was driving to State College and it was on the other side of the road. Major U turn and I shopped for the next several hours.

Please add me also.

Is it just glue that holds the footbed to the sole? If so how did you get it to adhere effectively?

What is the sewing machine? Did you use a machine to attach the shoe top?

Excellent - looking forward to it.

Beautiful stuff. I looked on the web and didn't see anything about the 7 day workshop. Have you done these in the past? How frequently and cost? How many people and any plans for 2014?

I'm looking for a replacement part for my broken Frobana. I need the part that holds the needle. The part that holds the needle has some little piece sticking OUT that fits perfectly into the INDENT in the Frobana needles to hold needle securely. On my machine when they ran out of Frobana needles they decided to try other curved needles but they had to FILE OFF THE piece sticking OUT because regular curved needles don't have the indent in them. Needles to say the experience was a failure and I purchased a seriously non-functional machine. Any ideas are appreciated.

I drive to State College periodically from NYC and I have a couple of 29-4's and I may have a 29k to sell.

Another newbie from Brooklyn. I wonder if it would be possible to get together a group of newbies with one experienced person?

I also own a Juki LU563 but haven't learned how to use it.

Thanks Wiz, My confession: I've been intending to get back into leather work for some time now. When I was a teenager I apprenticed briefly with George Reeves (Western Mass and Martha's Vineyard) about 40 years ago. Over the last several years I've just been buying but not doing.... I now own 5 patchers - 2 x 29-4, 29k58 treadle, 29k58 motorized, 29k72 motorized and a Frobana missing a part. It was much easier with a mentor. Signed - Struggling in NYC

I was hoping someone could contrast these two machines. Where one would be good and the other wouldn't. I'm planning on using one of them for bags (4-7 oz leather) but thats my plan now and who knows what I may be thinking of making two years from now. Thanks in advance. PS: I still have 2.5" size 3/0 Harness Needles in packs of 25 for less than anyone else. I just sold 750 needles (30 packs of 25) to someone who teaches hand stitching.

Thinking of turning some bluejeans into into bluejeans skirts and substituting leather for some of the bluejeans material. What leather would stand up to the washing that a skirt undergoes without looking and feeling funky?

Spent 1.5 hours searching through 'Items for Sale'. No idea where to post. Sorry. These are in packets of 25 needles. Minimum order is 10 packets Price for 10 packets $27.50 Price for 20 packets $45 Cheaper for more... Here they are on Ebay I'm selling for $22.50 for 5 packets: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321054315769

I have packages of 25 Harness Needles for sale. I'm selling them on Ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321054315769 For Leatherworker,net I'd sell 10 packages of needles for $26 including shipping which is just about half the ebay price.

Responding to an old post. I just bought a vast quantity of size 3/0 harness needles. They are 2.4" (62mm) long. Where do these fit in the sizing 000, 0, 1, 2, 3? Somewhere I read they are heavier than the 3s. I have these for sale cheap in packets of 25. No other sizes just the 3/0.

Hi. Not sure if you are still looking but I have size 3/0 62mm heavy harness needles for sale cheap. On Ebay you can see some pictures but I can sell lots cheaper than the Ebay price. This is the only size I have but I have it in quantity. Plus I have some tapestry needles. Here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321054315769

I'm at 5 and making an offer on 2 more.

What kind of quantity are you looking for?
