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.

Ron, Where do you run the safety strap on the back after it goes through the back of the holster? Thanks, Todd

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

Please see new add under used equipment as a couple of the details have changed.

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

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

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.

You have 2 terrific Tandy stores in your area. I have been to both the north and south ones. I have not been to the one just off I-70 but the one in Westminster is great, they have been more than willing to help me and answer questions.

JLS, Where do you find the LL needles? Thanks, Todd

I'd have to look at the package but pretty sure its a #25. Its what came with the machine.

I appreciate the replies. I spent last evening doing battle and still lost. Confirmed thread path was correct, started backing off primary and secondary tension(upper) as in the utube video in 2:1 ratio primary to secondary. I got to the point where there is no primary tension and minimal secondary and you can see from the pictures there is essentially no change. Am I wanting too much or am I just missing something. Confirmed white and brown are both 277 size. First picture is the front, second is the back. weight of both test pieces is about 14 oz. Thanks, Todd

I have a new CB 4500, thanks Cowboy Bob, it came set up with white thread and it sews great with it. I changed over to brown thread and it seems to be pulled further into the leather than the white. 277 thread in both colors and top and bottom. My question is, do you normally have to adjust tension with the different color threads. I am going to double check and make sure I have it threaded correctly tonight when I get home. Thanks, Todd

I have a strip that is the same as what I make loops with and use the caliper method mentioned above. I go one more step, I keep scraps around and I will cut 2-4 slots after I figure out what I think the spacing is and try it. This lets me make the errors on scrap and not mess up good leather.

Bob, It looks like about $78.00 to ship, I estimated #50 as the machine is still bolted down and the cast aluminum one is listed at #21. Todd

I can take some measurements tonight and see what shipping would be. I only accept postal money orders for things I sell. Thank you, Todd

It is still for sale.

I will ship as long as the machine and shipping are prepaid.
