I don’t know what weight it will sew but if it works, for a hundred dollars, BUY IT! Rodney

I bought a cowboy 3200 from Alexander at Solar in Arlington, Tx. He gave me about an hour of hands on instruction when I picked up the machine. Super good people and a great machine! Good luck with your endeavor! Rodney

WOW, fantastic!

Try tan-coat, make sure antique is dry, overnight, apply a coat and let dry, tan-coat will let oil penetrate it later if needed.

Welcome Daffy, good bunch of people here and most will help just for the asking! Like you I am retired but I have been doing leather work off and on for 50+ years. Anyway enjoy retirement and your new found hobby. Rodney

Still available? If so I would like to make an offer email rhale47@icloud.com Thanks Rodney

Very nice, from one Texan to another! LOL

Great looking belt!

Frodo, That was very nice! And the very same back to you and yours! Happy Thanksgiving! Rodney

I collect stamping tools, about 800 to date, the older craftool that just say craftool co. And a # without a letter in front of the # are the best ones under the craftool name, then comes the ones stamped the same except there is # and letter. You will also find some withou # or letter. Most all of these are good stamps, they are earlier stamps made in USA. After that they are stamped craftool co. USA, these are as a whole good stamps also. In 1999 all there stamps were being imported and from then to date you are not getting the quality they use to be. If you want good quality stamps get the USA made ones or better yet buy Barry King, Robert Beard, Hackbarth, Clay Miller and a few other custom made stamps! They are more money but the difference in the quality and crispness of the stamps are undeniable. Hope this helps! Rodney

Save your money and get the Barry King!

You can use either to burnish then dye edges or dye the burnish, I usually dye the burnish but either way will work, try both and see what works best for you!

Ron’s edge rub is very quick and easy to use but is a bit expensive. I also like quick slick from Barry King it does a good job and not as expensive, may take a little more burnishing!

Thanks Rodney

I can buy a never used set for 125 plus shipping was why I offered 100 what is the best you can do? Thanks Rodney

I believe it is nationwide, but you have to order it most all stores do not stock any of the machines!

Would you take $100 for the 3.85 crimson hide set of pricking irons shipped to Texas? Thanks Rodney

I think there are a few pieces that there just isn’t a good place to put a Maker’s mark but most anything else I make gets a Maker’s mark! It’s just like anything else you buy, it’s going to have a brand, a label, or identifying mark no mater what the item is big or small. Granted I don’t do this for I living but I have made and sold I lot of leather work in 50 plus years of making and building leather goods, if you don’t want my Maker’s mark on something I make then you can get it elsewhere! Just my policy right or wrong! Thanks Rodney

3.85 crimson hide pricking irons still available? If so what is you best price shipped to Texas? Thanks Rodney

Thanks for your reply, I am about 200 miles from you. If you decide to part out please let me know, there are a few things I would be interested in. Thanks Rodney

I realize that, I was seeing if he is willing to part out since I am fairly nearby so I am waiting for “his” reply! Thanks Rodney

Where in Okla? Will you part out some things or only sell as one lot? I live in the panhandle of Texas so could pick up! Thanks Rodney
