    nicky, i am located in south texas, but if you are willing to work out a shipping arrangement, maybe i can help you out. please let me know what all you are wanting to get help with, pictures would be handy. i have a leather shop/repair shop and you can see the work i do on facebook under "cowboy cobbler and leather repair". i believe there are 2 pages called that, one is in montana, i am in texas. you can pm from there if you like to talk further.

    Looking for suppliers of leather suitable for making boot tops. I know there is a supply category, but figured this room would be easier to get an answer from the folks who know. if I need to move message boards, I will. Any help is appreciated in advance.

    Sorry so late to respond...I was buying sheets from Rogers shoe supply (formerly state leather) in San Antonio, but found some at southern for right about the same price....only problem was they charged me almost $30 for shipping from Dallas to corpus Christi....me thinks I will look at Landwerlen next time. Thanks for the heads up.

    Searching everywhere for Goodyear neolite toplift sheet and cowboy heels at a reasonable price. I know they are out there, but I think most all I've found are on the high side (maybe I've been living under a rock the past year since I ordered last). Anybody have a "honey hole" for buying supplies? A few guys have the crown sheets for $76, I DON'T THINK SO, seems like I paid closer to $30 something a little over a year ago. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thunter, Those are cool little machines, but I'm really looking for something a little more all in one...I think I would spend more time changing out attachments, I've already got a chopped down line finisher...having said that, what are you asking for it?
  6. christiancowboycobbler
    ISO supreme 60 shoe finisher/sander. I know what they cost new to ship so obviously I don't want to pay that much if possible. Any help is appreciated.

    Have you sold any of your equipment?

    Maybe I should elaborate...the standard roller measures 32mm,I am looking for the smaller diameter for tighter turns. Most feet that are available are the flip up type used on flat bed machines. I have seen replacement rollers, but they are still the larger 32mm size. I know there has to be some smaller out there somewhere. Does that adaptor work for those type feet?

    Looking for a small roller foot for techsew 810... I see the singer type roller feet all over the place. Is there a conversion or do I just need to look harder? Any help is appreciated.

    I'm down in South Texas,and will check that out...thanks

    Wondering if anybody knows where I can buy boot boxes to ship boots? Any help is much appreciated.

    I have done soles on a cobra before, before I got a curved needle and such....you can leave the outsole wide and use a right hand presser foot,only problem was the groove, but I have seen plenty of people that don't care about a groove. I just always figured it was right to lay the stitch in the groove and it also shows a little more pride IMHO. Thanks for the pics and the info.
  15. christiancowboycobbler
    Thank you much....you didn't have to groove that previously, the attachment did it all?
  16. christiancowboycobbler
    Any pictures of how it looks on the bottom side? I would like to see the thread in the channel if possible.
  17. christiancowboycobbler
    Still available?

    Turns out it there were a couple of screws that had come loose on the needle shaft and that was allowing it to move just slightly when it was in motion. Thanks for the insight and effort in trying to get me going the right direction.

    I've got a techsew 5100 that is eating my lunch....I know the timing is off. I have gone through all the timing procedures. I have been dealing with machines for around 8 years now and so I've already gone through all the newbie mistakes. I get the shuttle lined up at zero stitch. The Allen screw is tight. Sewing thinner leather does ok but no matter what thickness, after a period of 15-30 stitches the top thread gets frayed, then it begins skipping stitches. I have changed needles, smoothed off burrs on shuttle hook, and done just about all I can think of....is there any issue that could be up inside the drive arm,etc? For whatever reason when it begins to have problems, the shuttle timing is off, but with everything I know of being tight, am I missing something? Any advice or criticism will be greatly appreciated. I also have a cobra class 4 and have been trying to see where the difference/problem can be and pfffft...Thanks in advance and hopefully somebody else has been down this road.

    Steve does a good job of getting you what you ordered. I had ordered a class 4 stitcher about 6 years ago that was supposed to come with all the bells and whistles. When it showed up it was missing the stirrup plate and the detachable work table. I had a little sour taste in my mouth and had forgotten about it until I ran into him at Wichita Falls a year or so ago. I brought it up to him and with no questions asked except "what's your address?" he shipped them at no charge to me. I can get on board with service like that. Thanks Steve for making it right and for putting out a good product.

    I have one of those, it does a great job,but only on shoes. I think this one seems to have a leg that is long enough to accommodate boots also, which I can't do on the macker type press. I may go to a machine shop and just see what it might cost to have one built. You would just think that as many home grown footwear people there are, there would be more of these floating around. Quien sabe...

    I have seen these on ebay before, but does anyone know where they come from and if they work very well? Looks like a great alternative to pneumatic presses, I just don't know that they are worth the 900+. Thanks in advance for your replies.
