Big Papa Leather

I guild member bought this machine about 4 months ago. He decided he liked his Consew better and needed to get this out of his shop. I took possession of it and for the life of me do not know why, other than I wanted to own a Tippmann. Now that I have I owned one, I'd like to sell it. LOL I do small personal items and this is WAY too much machine for my wallets so... I just don't see myself using it. Here is the Deal: Tippmann Boss Stitcher Material Guide Material flat bed attachment table Stitching bench/cobblers bench Smaller center presser foot Regular presser foot Thread winder attachment All necessary Allen wrenches Extra needles Extra Bobbins Large cone Unopened spool of White thread Large Cone Black Thread (about 9 yds used) This machine has sewn prolly less that 10 yds of stitches in it's short life. One the Tippmann site with all these accessories is near $1800.00 new. This is as close to like new as you can get. I can disassemble the bench and package the whole shooting match up for the most economical shipping I can get. Looking for $1150 plus shipping. No Pictures to post, but can send some to you, if necessary. Tippmann has great shots on thier site. This is a pristine machine. Allen

Here is a combo set I just finished up. Made from black bison with a subtle texture and nice firm feel. Gives the purse a good body without being really stiff. Pink Cayman croc on top. I lined it with a cool and funku pink skull and crossbone interior. The matching clutch was made with the tail section. Let me know what you think. Allen--Big Papa

I'm guilty of it as well, so I got little room to complain. Thanks for all the comments on my junk. Allen--Big Papa

I bought the skin with the spider web already applied. It appears it was a white skin with the black applied in the spider web pattern. Allen--Big Papa

My Dirty Devil wallet got no comments... Was it the subject matter? Anyway. First is a wallet inspired by the 60's era Gibson Les Paul Sunburst guitars. The lanyard attachment can be used as a "dangler" type decpration or removed to allow a chain to be attached... or both. Second is a stingray wallet. Interior carried the spider theme with a cool print and the pockets were made using a patent leather type kidskin. Both laced in Black Kangaroo. Thanks for looking. Allen--Big Papa

I recent completion. Carved and hand dyed with Fiebing's alcohol based dyes. Just a touch or acrylic in the earrings. Rest was done with dye. Kangaroo lace and 8 pocket interior. Whatcha think? Allen--Big Papa

Bigfoot, The hide used on the exterior of that wallet is elephant. The big pachyderm animal sometimes seen flying by his ears in the Disney movies. Yes ivory is illegal/banned. Elephant hide is not. The skins come from farm raised or legally culled animals. It is somewhat widely available through a couple distributors and is very popular in boot making. It is a strong, durable and attractive hide. As far as elephant burgers... I'm sure they are available somewhere. Just not at McDonald's. King's X: No problem... just farm that work my way Allen--Big Papa

For colors I used Fiebings Emerald Green, The brown was done with a Fiebings medium brown cut 50% with alcohol and Eco-flo black antique gel. I resisted the skull with RTC. Thanks for the comments! Allen--Big Papa

Just finished it up... Celtic Knotwork is very time consuming.

Thought I would share a new addition to my leather toy box.... I just got my Cobra NP-4 skiver yesterday. I am in the process of "Pimpin" it out to be more my flavor. I need more skull decal to finish it off. Just as a addition I'd thought I show a "pimped" version of the Cobra 17. Thanks to Steve at Cobra and now I'm back off to playing with my toys! Allen--Big Papa

Here is one I finished over the weekend. Black elephant hide and a reddish-orange stingray. Black kangaroo lace and cowhide interior.

I got my card in the mail yesterday. Thanks Dbusarow

The thread: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=15085&st=0&p=93418&hl=rollersnapcom&fromsearch=1entry93418 Website: http://rollersnap.com/ Neat little snap. I enjoy using them Allen

I will have some pics ready soon. I got a small collection started and it is really looking pretty cool. Don't be shy folks jump on in. Allen Thanks for the offer so far. I hope I got them out to those who wanted on in redturn. If I missed ya... let me know! Allen--Big Papa

Great idea to move the post. Well, lets see those cards people! Allen

Yup hand stitched. Allen

Sweet. I like this design alot. Good job.

ABN sent you a pm on the tools hen realized it shouldnt be a secret. I got the tool from Wayne Jueschke out of Elko Nevada. For those who are interested I used the diamond Jueschke tool, a Barry King flower center, A Hackbarth Ellis Barnes seeder and checker beveler. The border is a craftool that happened to fit TroyS yes it is kind of mind numbing to do geometrics like that. It was worse doing a belt. My eyes were crossed after doing it. To everyone else Thanks for the Kudos! Allen--Big Papa

Here is a geometric patterned biker wallet. British Tan dark brown antique to accent the pattern. Silk brocade lining. 8 credit card slots 2 cash slots and a zipper.compartment. Saddle stitched construction. Whatcha think?

Mine is going in the mail today. I attached a scan of the card that DonnieBlaze will receive.

Put me on the list. I liked the original PIF also. Kind of neat waiting to see what your secret gift was going to be. But I'm in on this as well. Allen--Big Papa

Well here's an update. 99centtaco is ignoring emails. He stopped responding to his Etsy convos (the only way I got him to respond). Too bad that people can't do the right thing. Allen

Thanks Spence! And thanks to the three others that offered. I thought that I was making it easy for just about everyone to join in. No cost. I'd send the leather and the enevlope to send it back. Heck I'd even do International if one of our members from another country would offer up. It would only take a second and your not out anything. I ain't gonna steal your mark I'm just interested in collecting them. When I was in the police department our Association had a collection of 8000 patches from nationwide and international police departments. Not looking for 8000 marks, I'd have to build another workshop... Now that I'm thinking about it.... I could use more room. OK folks make me build on to my shop and get me those marks! Almost 100 views and only three takers? Free? I send the stuff. Allen
