Yes its a year old post but just read it been doing biker type lether work for 50 years at rallys and biker events I vend out of a 44 ft trailer that is wall to wall with parts and leather goods and I do have a electric sewing monster inside for sewing patches on and light leather repairs (if electric is available) but by far my tippman boss it the best buy I've made and a crowd pleaser because I set it up outside on its cobbler bench and bikers gather around to watch me make saddle bags and tool bags
My tippman boss have generated more money then any electric machine ever could because as soon as i make a item someone watching me will buy it and of course the small foot print and manual operation is ideal for my use
Now that I've retired from the business world I still use it in my home its ideal for a old slower man to use almost all my leather is in the 8-10 oz some 12-13 oz with elk hide to use as a linner in gun holsters very seldom do I sew light weight leather
