  1. Hello, long time user of Cobra equipment. But, most familiar with the class 4. I’m looking to buy a Juki LS-1341 for bag usage. But, I have a few questions that I just haven’t been able to find in searching here and other places. 1. are all accessories specific to the 1341 model or do they match the Singer 111w? I think I may know the answer that the 341 may match the singer. But, I’m not certain. 2. when sewing smooth finish leather will the serrated feet mark them? Or, can I purchase smooth feet? 3. where’s the best place to purchase accessories like binding attachments and piping feet, along with others. Thanks in advance for the help. Craig

  3. Kwikprint Model 64 Hot Stamping Machine I’m downsizing my shop and have this hot stamping machine for sale. It’s definitely an older unit but works perfectly. They just don’t make them like this anymore! This machine was originally used at Ohio Bag Company, hot stamping luggage. I’ve used it for personalizing handbags and such. Either with gold/silver foil or simply hot stamping the leather. Works great!! The unit comes with 3 sets / sizes of stamps. See the photo for size reference. And, it comes with lots of foil and some original literature. Any name or logos on handbags on my Facebook page (bluegrassleatherco) were done with this machine. Item located in Western Ky. I’m willing to drive a couple hours to meet. Maybe further if gas is paid for. For anyone interested, I’m happy to send additional photos, videos or to facetime or video chat for you to see it in action. Note: this item is very heavy. You will need either a truck or trailer. The head does come off easily for transporting. Here’s a link to the Kwikprint website for full details; http://www.kwik-print.com/model64.html $500 (these sell on e-bay for over $1k) I can accept credit card payments and will split the fee Please email for quickest response at craig@bluegrassleatherco.com
  4. CRAFTMASTER HAND CLICKER PRESS - 4 TON I’m downsizing my shop and have this 4 Ton Clicker Press for sale. I purchased this 1 year ago at Springfield Leather Co. It was their first unit built. You will see that they made only a couple changes to it. Primarily, to how the arm is held up when not in use. It has only been used to click out a few coasters and do some general stamping with markers marks. Works great and is adjustable for stamp height. I’m willing to drive up to a couple hours to meet. Maybe further if gas is paid for. For anyone interested, I’m happy to send additional photos, videos or to facetime or video chat for you to see it in action.

  6. Another quick question. I just got my bluegun mold. I ordered the colt SAA. It’s stamped 357 on the barrel and seems to be a smaller frame size. At least by feel. Is the 357 the frame frame size as the 45 colt?
  7. is the Al Stohlman still available?
  8. Thanks Josh! So, I'm guessing since my customer just bought this new vaquero birds head, then it's a new model and I should be fine to get the SAA. Correct? Out of curiosity, have you ever used a longer barrel version to make a shorter size holster? Specifically, if the bottom is open as the I'm making will be. Since it will be a OWB pancake version, I assume I could be a stanadard barrel length mold and use a dowel for the front sight channel and simply let the barrel hang out while forming. Then, simply remove and form over the end of the holster. Would you agree?
  9. I'm needing to get a vaquero mold. However, it seems to be easier to find a Colt SAA. But, I cold swear that I remember the Ruger Vaquero's being slightly different in size. Can anyone confirm this? And, do you have suggestions for the best place to buy one? Thanks in advance for the help. Craig
  10. Thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought about mixing colors. I'll have to look up the mixing chart now
  11. Hi Everyone, Does anyone have a favorite medium brown for dying holsters and belts with? I typically use the Fiebings Pro Dye and love it. But, I cannot find a good medium brown that I like. I love the pro dye as it doesn't streak and give a nice even coat. I have a bottle of water based Eco Flow Timber Brown. It's about the right shade with enough red in it. But, it blotches up terribly on the leather! I'm looking to buy some Angelus dye as I found what I think is a good color from the online swatches. Does anyone have any feedback on the Angelus dyes? Thanks in advance for the help. Craig
  12. This has been sold. Sorry as I cannot figure out how to edit my original posting.
  13. For sale is a brand new (only used 2 times) Cowboy 3200 cylinder bed sewing machine. Seriously, I only made on holster and one belt on this machine. It's literally brand new still. I bought this new from Ryan Neele and within 1 week of owning it, I ran across another machine that is larger and that I originally wanted. Since purchasing the new machine, I do not need the Cowboy 3200. It come will all accessories from the factory. Plus, the belt makers kit ($180) and the flat top conversion table ($120). Asking $1700, (you can save $300 plus the normal $225 shipping on this one) I will drive within 3-4 hours to meet someone on this deal. Also, I will traveling to many place in upcoming weeks. I'm happy to meet anyone along the way. Western KY to Northern Western KY to Mobile, AL Western KY to central Kansas
  14. Sweet! I think you'll love the machine. I envy you living so close to SLC. I'm 4.5 hours away. But, that's probably a good thing for my wallet
  15. Here's a few pics showing two layers of 7-8oz from belt blanks. And, two layers of 3-4oz. Both leathers are dry and untouched. Don't mind the thread/needle size on the 7-8oz. I didn't bother changing it from working on wallets. Also, check out the backside. It's pushing hard enough to leave a reverse impressing from the cylinder arm plate You can see the walking foot impressions are deeper than the presser foot. The presser foot adjustment is as loose as it will go. So, will adjusting the foot arm on the back of the machine move the entire foot assemble up, including the presser foot?
  16. Hi Alexander, Thanks for the suggestion. I may need to do this. I've done more testing on the 3200 with lighter weights leather (2-5/6oz. & 2-3/4oz.) both were in regular dry form from the supplier. All harness leather and natural Herman Oak. In both cases, the walking and presser foot are still leaving more than desired impressions. I've adjusted the presser foot tension until the adjustment knob jumped out. Luckily, I was anticipating this. So, I think I may try a small adjustment on the foot height linkage arm. But, will this move both the walking foot and the presser up or down with the single adjustment? Craig
  17. Thanks Wiz. You know, the weather has changed here with some colder temps and rain. And, although I did let the finish dry for 16 hours, it might have needed a tad bit longer. This may be reason the samples pieces that came with the machine didn't show as much. I just didn't think about this. Time to do a better test now. Thanks!
