Cool I'll check that out. Thank you and see exactly what you mean. It was just a picture used tools based on what I thought there aren't any instructions for tools. Wish there was

Hello all leathercrafters, I purchased a digital book from proleathercarver.com and it has 35 designs and tried one out. The beveling was with a Barry King steep angles beveler#2, craft tool pro P2621 and V2787. Craft tool zinc tools used were P212, J520, C431 in the middle around the seed stamp. Tooled on 8-9 Herman Oak with an oil finish. I would love some feedback on how it turned out. I think I should have done the center different and I struggle with decrotive cuts.

Hello all, I am looking for a bench top skiver. Drop me an email at deep6leatherworks@gmail.com. Thank you.

Machine works great other than We tried the 277 top and 138 bottom and it didn't work so great. I need to call tomorrow and get the skinny on what we need to do to make it sew that because the specs say it will. We've been using 207 top and 138 bottom with a 20 or 22 needle still experimenting but that works great. My wife hogs the machine a little to much but she's happy! We've sewn thin velvet alone and up to two pieces of 8-9 ounce with no problem. I like the look of the bigger thread so I need to get on that. I am still sewing on 5 for speed slow but steady. For what I make books, wallets and belts it a dream. I hope this helps I'll post more once I talk to them about the 277 thread. The bobbin winder works great to. We are going to have a local guy come out and give a tutorial on the thread and bobbin tensioners I'll post more on that too. Again it's the Cobra class 26. Sti hoping to get the class 3/4 for that 346 thread.

Hello all, looking for a set of Dixon edgers. I have been looking all over and no one has them since they are out of biz. Please contact me at deep6leatherworks@gmail.com if you have a set to sell or if you know where I can get them. Thanks

Thanks dikman! I'll try a resize the photo and post it it's th newer model of the one shown in this thread.

Thanks bikemutt07! Lucky this machine will do what I want to do and what my wife wants. She was going to win anyway I just happened to get lucky this time. Pays to pay it forward!

Thanks Uwe, glad you concur with our machine. We looked at the Pfaft 345 as well but he said he would have had to make some modifications to sew thicker leather. And we didn't want to canabolize a 2000 dollar machine of the get go. Glad we found this one.

Thanks all for all the comments and suggestions. We just went down the the Leather Machine Company yesterday and purchased a cobra Class 26. It looks just like the Class 3 but meant for medium to light work. Impressed it will sew two 9-10 ounce leather pieces together no problem and will handle the 277 thread. I understand we will need two machines to be able to sew the 346 thread for that special look but for now this has been a dream come true. They don't advertise it on their site but the distributors can get it. For a novice sewer like myself the servo motor is a dream and so easy to dial in. Currently working on experimenting with needle and thread size. We are using 138 bottom and 207 top with a 23 needle. They really focus on customer satisfaction overall a great experience and the 4 hour round trip was worth it. Not to mention lifetime warranty that in itself is amazing. Tried to upload some pics but this site doesn't allow files over a certain size and they are normal pic anyways if you want to see the machine email me deep6leatherworks@gmail.com and I'll shoot some pics and video. Thanks again for all your words of wisdom and super stoked my work is about to improve.

It depends on the image you have. I have seen a few different images. My own Chief Petty Officers Associations uses several different ones. I do in fact like yours better. Just bought a Cobra Class 26 and it sees like a dream.

Hello all, I have read all the threads containing defining machines. I really need the help of all of you to assist me in getting the right machine. My wife and I are both into leather and making a small business out of it. we have a little money now and able to purchase only one machine for the both of us. My wife sews handbags and purses and I deal with wallets, journals, books, sheaths and belts. the most I sew is about 8-9 ounce with a 3-4 ounce lining. I want a Cobra Class 3 which has a cylinder but says its best for 6 ounce to 7/8 think leather. Will the Class 3 sew garment style leather? thank you all in advance,.

Sounds like I met my competion. Love your work. Deep 6 Leather Works is my side business. I am also thinking of switching to that style of anchor. It fits more with our collar devices. Thanks for all your input I'll get make to practicing and post some more work. Thank you all!
