Weaver Leather has announced they've discontinued hosting the annual consignment auction. Are there any other industry gatherings/markets/auctions? Of course events are not likely to happen until the pandemic recedes, but I'd like to know if there are any events that are worth traveling to. I heard about a harness makers gathering in Wisconsin; where can info be found?

ADLER 205 is dropping stitches, fraying etc.
HazelB replied to HazelB's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Thanks all! I will try all of your suggestions, its helpful to know what to look for and test. Much appreciation. -
I'm having some trouble with my Durkopp Adler to 205 - 370 not wanting to back stitch. The hook is not catching the thread most frequently when in reverse. It is also randomly dropping stitches when sewing forward. But the really puzzling part is the top thread sometimes frays and unravels. For details: I'm using a 180 needle and 200 shim. Thread tension is good, top and bottom. Needle is centered properly and is not making contact with shuttle. Serviced by a pro 2 weeks ago and all checked out fine. Help!

I am inundated with strap scraps that need a new home. Prefer to sell by the giant box full, weighing about 40-60 pounds per box. Come and see it all and make an offer for a truckload! Located in Aurora, CO. Herman Oak golden tan bridle, 8/10 oz veg tan, and 9/11 oz. struck through Black Latigo from Chahin. Most are mixed boxes, with both colors. Most leather is cut and edged, from 3/8" to 1" wide. Also plenty of random bits and trimmings from the edges of the sides. Asking $1.50 per pound, or $40 per big box. A few boxes full of ONLY the bridle leather cut to 9/16" width. This is beautiful stuff, it's just a little too short for the products we make with it. Asking $2.00 per pound, or $60 per box. Perfect for key fobs, bracelets, small projects, 4-H, scouts, crafts, etc. Remnant from dog leash/collar business (IE: nothing long enough or strong enough if this is what you want to make, because we've used what we can for this purpose). I have a continuous supply of this stuff. Feel free to reply here, but for faster reply, just give us a call. Call or text Brian three-o-three 653-184FIVE

9/10 oz. heavy weight, superior quality, premium American hides veg tanned by Herman Oak. Yeah, this is really good expensive stuff. Located in Aurora, CO Asking $20 each piece of belly remnant, or 6 for $100. Also have really nice trimmings, good sized pieces cut from spine and shoulders (before strap cutting). Nothing wrong with it! I just have too darn much. Wholesale cost paid for this stuff is over $9/square foot. Natural golden tan bridle leather, vegetable tanned, not toxic Can be tooled, dyed, oiled, or painted. Good for various crafts requiring heavy weight leather, saddle repair, bags, holsters, bird toys, natural kid toys, key rings, bracelets, whatever. Remnant from premium dog product business.IE: NOT for pet products, as I've used what I can for this purpose. You can post your interest here, but for faster replies just give us a call.

CHAHIN BLACK LATIGO 9/11 ounce, struck through jet black color (not just died on the surface like most). Heavy weight, superior quality, premium American hides tanned by Chahin. Asking $10 each piece of belly remnant, or 15 for $100. I have dozens available, and a continuous supply. Make me an offer for a truckload! There are hundreds of pounds. Located in Aurora, CO (Denver area). First image shows a random piece stretched out on 12" tile floor for size reference. Usually run about 12-18" wide by and about 5-6 feet long. Bellies are the bottom part of a full side of a leather hide and have some blemishes and soft spots but are excellent for craft projects. You will NOT find this quality leather at the local leather craft supply shop. (Inferior belly leather from Tandy is $30-40 each.) Tandy wants this much money for a pound of mid-grade leather scrap. Wholesale cost paid for this stuff is over $9/square foot. This really is a great price for amazing leather. Remnant from premium dog product business. Good for various crafts requiring heavy weight leather, like bags, holsters, whatever. IE: NOT for pet products, as I've used what I can for this purpose.

Hi there. Does anyone have a good recommendation for where to post remnant for sale? I'm new here. Trying to figure out the forum. Is there a reliable classified or advertising section for the community? I have an excess supply of Chahin 9-11 oz black latigo bellies. Fantastic, premium quality leather for small crafts. Dog product company remnant, very usable. Located in Aurora, CO. Will ship.

Technically, that couch may actually be top grain, but it means very little. "Top grain" and "genuine leather" are deceiving terms, and really mean nothing. Full Grain is the real stuff. Check out this article that explains leather types. http://bestleather.org/leather-101-the-different-types-of-leather/

I just purchased a strap cutter and a couple of self-centering gang punches from Dan Byler, and am looking forward to receiving it next week. All of his machinery and tools cost about a third of any other makers, and seem to be a better design and more reliable. Found some at the Weaver Consignment Auction, and he was also there selling directly. I've heard nothing but fantastic things from many other leather workers about his tools. The trick is, he is Amish. One can only contact him by mail, or in person! Worth it. Write him, ask for a price list.
