I recently finished up this shave kit. Let me know what you think, and any critique on construction and tooling will be appreciated. Thank you, JC

Don Gonzales has some great videos addressing your questions.

I have braided much leather, but if you want to sell some tooled guitar straps, let me know, and I can show you some of my work.

Thanks

Thanks. BTW where do you get your buffing wheels? And what thickness and diameter do you prefer for green compound. Thanks

Thanks Chuck, it’s always good to remember how dangerous the tool you are using can be.

Ok, thanks

That is a funny but ver true sign.

Thank you,

Thanks Bruce

Thank you

Thank you, Is there a reason you stack the wheels instead of getting a bigger wheel? How corse is black compound vs green compound?? thanks

Hi all. I was recently able to pick up a baldor slow speed buffer for sharpening my leather tools, and I am wondering what brands and styles of buffing wheels are best. The arbor is 3/4in an I am thinking of doing six inch wheels. How many ply/how thick should the wheels be? Should they be stiff canvas? Yellow? White? Also, as far as compounds go, I am planning to do two different compounds. What ones should I do? Green and Black? Green and Gray? Also what are some quality brands I can get? thank you. JC

Thank you

They sold

Garret Wade point knives in great condition, I ended up not using them as much as I thought I would. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325805454840

I have bought a lot of tools from these people, they are great! Here’s some of what they have left, all at great prices! westernstarleather.com

I ended up getting the machine for 1500. The gentleman included a stitch guide, a new motor he had as a backup, a new belt, lots of bobbins and bobbin assemblies and thread. machine works beautifully! thanks for all your help!!

Thank you wiz and kgg i am going to have a showing of their entire shop today! i will keep you guys updated as to whether I get the machine or not. Thanks for all your feedback, it is sooo helpful to be able to have you share your knowledge and thoughts! thank you again

What do you think would be a good price for the machine, just based off pictures? i know you mentioned a lot of variables, but was wondering if it you could mention a price JUST based on pictures. Thanks

Here is the link. https://www.westernstarleather.com/ARTISAN-TORO-3000-SEWING-MACHINE-art3000_p_2011.html the owners retired last December.

I have an opportunity to look at a artisan toro 3000 for $1700. the machine is being sold by a leather worker who is retiring. They are including extra bobbins needles etc.. is this a good deal, what should I offer?

Thanks

Hi I have an opportunity to look at a Consew 206 rb 1 for a listing price of $750 the current owner has had it for seven years and is the second owner. The motor is a clutch motor not a servo motor. Is this a good deal? I want to use the machine for belts, wallets and purses. thanks
