The last of the (Mohicans) TOOLS that I have for sale
Hildebrand replied to OLDNSLOW's topic in Old/Sold
Ron, I also sent an email. If the snap setter is still available I'll take it the stapler too if it helps clear everything out. Todd -
Tape measure holder "help please"
Hildebrand replied to Pledgedpatriot's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
Thats the best bet, I made a speed square, tape measure, pencil holster for a friend and I couldn't find the clip so I bought a cheap one and cut the rivets. Todd -
Errors & non-existent user assistance
Hildebrand replied to TxLeather2's topic in Feedback and Suggestions
Andy, This really isn't that unusual. Most of the forums I am on a few times a year a long time member will lose the ability to log on and have to create a new account. Honestly other than post count/member status usually not much is lost and for what we pay the folks servicing and maintaining sites like this they do a dang good job. Todd -
Simple Basketweave Belt
Hildebrand replied to LederRudi's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Looks great, just out of curiosity what kind of guideline do you use to keep everything lined up? Thanks, Todd -
I just sold a Boss and bought a 4500. I would wait and get the 3200. The Boss can be temperamental. I finally had it sewing decent but always held my breath while using it. Also the difference in the arm length is huge, the short open distance on the Boss frequently made it hard to work items through. Good luck and keep us posted. Todd

I decided to try something a little different for when I go to the mountains or such and want a few extra rounds with me. Its not always convenient to slide a belt slide on and off especially on the left side. So I came up with this concept and thought I would share. Please ignore the edges and stitching, this is just my prototype. The bottom picture is upside down, the clip clips down over the belt. Todd

Two-layer belt question
Hildebrand replied to SouthernCross's topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Sage advice here, I made one out of 2 7-8 oz layers and that thing will stand my pants up on its own. Its beautiful and stiff but really not practical. Todd -
Tippmann has been sold. Thank you everyone for your interest.

i would be happy to let you try it out if you wanted to run up. Todd

I am in Gillette, where are you? Todd

Yes it it available.

Another good option is the plastic printable overhead transparency material. These hold up pretty well but not forever but easy to just print another one.

Thank you that’s basically what I have been doing but yours shows me how to clean it up. -
A Few Holster I Just Finished
Hildebrand replied to Rohn's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Ron, Where do you run the safety strap on the back after it goes through the back of the holster? Thanks, Todd -
Aging.... blurry vision when tooling
Hildebrand replied to chriscraft's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I have transition bifocals and find that the circular magnifier with the light makes my stamping much more accurate, especially stuff like Basket stamping. Todd -
If this one sold I have one for sale. Todd

No problem, I bought the Boss before I found this sight and had much less knowledge to work with I might of waited if I had known. I will say that all though it was frustrating to learn the quirks of the Boss I feel like I have a much better knowledge of the machine sewing process from the troubleshooting I did on it. Todd

Fedx looks like about $89.00. I can take some more exact measurements when I get home tonight and see if that changes the amount. Todd

I have a used Tippmann Boss for sale. It is the old cast iron version, serial number 130. I bought this used and it has been sewing well for me the past year. I upgraded to a CB 4500 so I no longer need this. It comes with small cones of 277 white and black and a small cone of 207 white, a new pack of #200 needles from Tippmann with 1 or 2 used( some old needles I received with it), 6+ bobbins, a screwdriver and a handful of allen wrenches and the original owners manual and bobbin winder for drill. Also has the center pressor foot along with the double toe foot, the material edge guide and the led light. There are also a box with a couple spare parts that will go with it. I will ship as long as the machine is paid for and the shipping is pre paid. There are pictures of sewing examples and the machine, on the holster that is not a skipped stitch by the machine it is one I missed as that is where the two stitching segments joined and I stopped one to soon. Price is $700. Message me if you want more information. Thanks Todd

Avenger Style Holster Sewing
Hildebrand replied to Hildebrand's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I don't have any pictures, I usually sew around the outside starting at the bottom then sew from the top down the stitch line. I am going to try sewing from the bottom to the top along the stitch line on the next one. Thanks, Todd -
I was wondering if anyone has any tips for sewing avenger style holsters, when you fold them over they want to round out and it makes it tough to get the pressor foot in on the stitch line? Do you get it really wet then push it almost completely flat, or do you just try to hold it down as much as possible and sew around it? On a second note do most of you use just the left pressor foot? I am learning the ropes on my CB 4500 and I love it but there is a difference between the walking foot mechanism and the center pressor foot I have on my old Tippmann Boss. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving. Todd

Veg Tanned Leather Holster questions
Hildebrand replied to ABB's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Well "that guy"s patterns are the best I have seen. If you do your part and follow the stitch lines you will end up with a holster that is a great fit to your gun.
