I love that folks in this group are so willing to share ideas and techniques! Looking for your YouTube posts. I know it has been a very long time since this post was made (2 years) but if you are still sticking around, LeatherLegion, please point me in the right direction to books, tutorials, etc. to learn to make quality dog collars!! Thanks so much! TY

Dog Collars (w/ swarovski)
TeriYool replied to Leathahh's topic in Collars, Cuffs, Leashes and Leads
Where did you learn? Can you suggest books or websites, etc. for learning about making dog collars? Your stuff looks great! I am not ready for crystals and rivets just yet..... still trying to get a feel for a sewing machine to perfect the simple stuff. TY -

I'm using a phone to read up today and cannot find a pale blue box or any place to buy. Will study up when I get to a desktop so I can see what you see. Again gentlemen, thank you! TY -

206 rb1 is available for $1200. I missed out on the rb4 trying to come up with the cash. Opinions? Suggestions? What questions should I be asking? -

Where to start?- New to leatherworking
TeriYool replied to britlet's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I am nearly as green as you are but have done a considerable bit of hand stitching and my arthritic hands do NOT enjoy it. I only just learned about the stitching pony and have watched a few YouTube videos. Looks like it will make the stitching considerably easier on my hands. I am anxious to get one. I found a used bundle for $90 US on a Craigslist type site. I have many of the tools in the bundle but feel like I can probably sell the ones I already have and make some of my money back. There are pictures of home made ones here if you put the term in the search field you will find them. They look simple enough to make if you have the tools and are thusly inclined. Keep at it, leather is a great hobby! TY -
I've never heard of Jockey but Juki is a popular brand that has a very good reputation. TY

Rats! Shipping will be ridiculous to Salt Lake City UT. It's a beautiful machine! TY

Thank you for your suggestions earlier. I found another ad source in my area (OfferUp) and found a Juki DNU 241h for $800 with servo. From what I have found it is a walking foot machine? Would this be a good machine for what I mentioned in my post about the 555? Better than the others available in my area and price range?
Thank you for your time and patience!

Ok - so after much research, and SO many industrial machines hitting the local market, this is what I've gleaned.
Juki 555-5 $200 with table, an hour away.
Consew 226 $500 with table, 5 hours away. Hs walking foot.
Juki DDL 227 $185 with table, 15 minutes away. Old saddle maker w neuropathy in his feet. Very clean machine. Guy says walking foot can be installed (??)
Juki dnu 241hs $600 with table, an hour away. Talked him down from $800, he's the one who hasn't a clue about the machine. Has walking foot.
Mitsubishi LS2-180 $320 with table, 1.5 hours away. No WF
There are 15 total available in the area right now for $1500 or less.
I'm inclined to grab the 227 15 minutes away assuming the old guy will help out a newby to leather and possibly building a relationship. He knows where in town to have it serviced when needed as well. Once I have some $$ saved up, I can buy a walking foot machine and sell this one or keep it if I've fought the 'bug' I keep reading about
I am a little rushed because I want to make several collars and leashes in advance of a show in September which should be pretty profitable.
What is your opinion of the 227 and my plan to get it and replace soon? Your opinion of the other machines? Any suggestions? Would the resale on the 227 be decent? Seems really low asking price but I kind of think it's the guy and not the machine. The pictures look clean and quite pristine. Of course, I will take some leather scraps with and try any machine I look at.
Thank you for your time and opinion!

Dave- what a great start! Your spreadsheet is empty as far as models/brandsbut has a wealth of information as far as what to ask and what to look for. Thank you for compiling it! What machine did you settle on?
