  1. I've been doing some leather tack repairs and wanted some feedback on how others may go about certain repairs. I have a English girth that needs the elastic replaced. The leather pieces holding the buckles to the elastic are in decent condition. Do others replace the leather piece when replacing the elastic? or do you try to reuse the leather if in good condition with hand stitching? I can do hand stitching and I have a Techsew 4800 I can use also. And what about on the other end? hand sew in same holes with needles & awl? or machine sew. I am very wary of using a machine to sew on leather with previous holes.
  2. Thanks, I saw there was a relationship between chandler & Mitsubishi and the similar model number. Confirmation it’s the same machine helps, thanks!
  3. I currently have a Sailrite Fabricator I'm using for horse blanket repair and light leather work. I am looking to get into more tack repair. I just got a Chandler DU-115 for $70 at auction. I can't find any info on this machine, could someone please point me in the right direction to learn more about this machine and what it's capabilities are?
  4. Looking to offer english billet replacement for my new business. I wish to practice on a few junk saddles I have first. But where can I purchase billets in assorted lengths and pre-punched & numbered? I can't find these anywhere! and where can I find some good how to info and insutruction?
