    Only a few of years old. Bought a year ago from someone who hardly used it. Took it out of the box and never got to mess with it. In excellent condition. Comes with a lot of extras which would cost over $450 if bought individually. This is what will come in the original box:

    -left presser foot, right presser foot, center,presser foot fleece and padded material foot

    -extra bobbins

    -stirrup attachment

    -flat bed attachment

    -material guide attachment

    -dvd and downloaded instruction manual

    Looking for $1300 including shipping. All inquiries can be sent to CLCustoms@gmail.com

    Thanks,

    i think the seat looks fantastic. your lacing is tight and impeccable. the wet molding job looks great also. those types of seats are a bear to do, but well worth the effort once you get over the hand cramping. the design is, well it is what it is. we've all had our share of skulls to do , and even if it isn't our most favorite thing, it is always good to have one in your repetoire because it comes up time and again in this market. one comment though, and that is i would try to work in some shading with your acrylics to give the piece more depth. if you had some lights and darks in the dragon's scales it would definitely give it more dimension. i think that would be something to look to do on your next piece if you work with acrylics again. a job well done though!

    Hey Jimbob,

    your wetmolding is spot on and i like the different lacing. it's cool. Your designs are pretty neat for the good ol' skulls and flames. One critique I have is that I think you can carve deeper into the leather. Then when you bevel the difference between the raised leather and the beveled parts will be more prominent and more "3D". Other than that, great job!

    I love your lacing. It's so much different than just a regular "x". Your wet molding is impeccable also. I think these type of seats are the most challenging to do vs. regular pan seats. It's very clean and neat. What ounce leather did you use and how did you go about making the pattern for the sides? I always find that the most difficult to do. I hate to waste leather but I always leave alot to cut off because it's safer to trim than to be short. It's a lovely piece of construction.

    got my cub in, i read the manual etc , its avery nice stitcher its heavy duty cast iron made in the usa , i read it uses 328s needles in differernt gauges , ordered a set of 200 and somme threading to fit from artisan co, will arrive in the nest few days and will take some pictures to post and a small review from me the novice stitcher ,

    Keep us posted! I'm trying to decide between the two and I would really like to see what you think as far as use and such. Thank you in advance.

    Hi

    I think your lacing is tight and neat which is great, because inconsistent lacing can really impact the looks of a project. In my opinion, it looks like you need to carve deeper into the leather. It doesn't look like your beveler is set deep enough into the cut, hence the beveling seems on the shallow side. I think if the beveler sits deeper at the proper angle and you hit harder, you'll get that visible difference in your outline. Once that's done, you can use a modeling spoon to smooth the bevel out so it's less choppy. I sometimes run the beveler over what I have just beveled to help smooth the leather as well. On the sheath, it's hard to tell with the lighting, but from the really nice sheaths that I've seen, I think you need to put in a stitching groove. It makes it look so much neater. Plus I think it will cut out the puckering in the leather when stitches are pulled tight. As I said, this is my opinion. I did a sheath without the groove and it was really sloppy looking. The next sheath I did with the groove looked so much better.

    I think it's great you've come back to leather again and hope you enjoy rediscovering it.

    Hi,

    Can you post your feedback on the cub after using it? I'm interested in a "manual" machine and would like to hear input from someone that has used one. Thanks so much!
