Thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I got to get a vaccum pump for stabilizing wood for my knife handles. I might just get a Vacuum press bag for holsters at it while I'm ordering. Awesome work.
-
Nice looking holsters. Awesome work. Do you hand form or vacuum form your holsters. Thanks for sharing them.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I was watching a guy use his Cobra Class 4 & got oil on his gun belt he was making. Needless to say he was pissed. He forgot to wipe the machine down before using it. Yeah the reason I keep inquiring about the narrow throat plate & such, so I have the ability to sew the thinner stuff on a bigger sewing machine if the occasion arises.
-
Thanks. I appreciate the help. What differences or features does these plates & feet have over each other. What's the differences from RockyAussie accessories versus Patrick1 accessories? What does 1 offer over the other? If any? I'm new to machines & trying to figure out what I all need to purchase for the projects that might come up. I'm willing to buy both them guys/manufacturers accessories if both are needed. Thanks for the help.

Where & who sells a narrow throat plate, feed dog, & presser foot for the Cobra Class 4? I would like to be able to sew thinner materials when the time comes. I would like to be able to sew canvas & soft leathers with the Cobra Class 4. Thanks. Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate your time. So is a narrow throat plate offered for the Cobra Class 4? If so who do I order it from? I have used clothing type sewing machines, but it was years ago. I've been watching some videos on the Cobra Class 4 machine & it seems to be a nice machine, watching the guys using it.

Thanks kgg. I appreciate your time & knowledge. Yes I'm going to have a couple friends help with assembly. Who makes the best needles or what brand do you reccomend getting? I'll get extra bobbins as well when ordering. I'm sure I'll forget something & have to place another order.

Thank you. You mentioned most of the people I watch & learn what I can from them. I will check out the couple I didnt know of & see what I can pick up from them. Also if you ever decide to start selling, I would love to have a carving of your covered bridge. Its soo nice & beautiful. I would consider that a piece of Art you carved. I'm really at a loss of words, it's just soo cool. Thanks for your time & knowledge.

Guys & gals I think I have settled on purchasing a Cobra Class 4 Premium package. Is there any optional aftermarket accessories I need to purchase? What do you professionals recommend purchasing for supplies & maintenance care? I'm wanting to purchase everything I might need when I'm ordering. I like to use 207-346 thread when i saddle stitch by hand, so I'm planning on having the machine set up with 277 thread. Should i get some supplies for 138 thread for lighter projects? Also why does most people run a lighter thread on the bobbin side or bottom side of the machine? Is it due to thread capacity on the bobbins? Thanks. Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Do you teach online leather classes? Or do you got some websites to check out? I'm all up to learning some tips & tricks. I'm just now getting into carving. Been watching a lot of YouTube videos. Would you be willing to sell a carving like that? I would like to frame it & hang it on my wall in the house. Thanks & Just Beautiful work.

That is really nice! Sweet work. I'm hoping I can be at that level of craftsmanship someday. Just stunning work. Thanks for sharing. Its beautiful.
-
Yeah I've heard a lot of people tell me, you will know when your find a swivel knife setup that just clicks with you.
-
That's Badazz! I love it! Awesome work!
-
I think I will order one of them as well. 1/8" blade might be the ticket for these letters I want to carve.
-
Ok thanks. I did just order me another swivel knife. I ordered it with a 1/4" angle blade & got a spare 1/4" hollow ground blade. It's a double bearing Zhong Jiang premium swivel knife made in Japan. Their stuff looks really high quality. Thanks I appreciate it.
-
I'm thinking a submersion in evapo-rust bath & it will make it look new again. Would probably free it up to, if its locked up/ frozen. I would be willing to to try, since its priced right.
-
Everybody I need some help in selecting a swivel knife blade for doing these 1"×1" letters. What type of blade do I need. 1/4" angle blade? 1/4" hollow ground blade? My swivel knives all have 3/8" blades now. Any & all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looks awesome! Great work!
-
Yeah I fight that with a speedy stitcher. I always seem to end up with the knots on the back side. I pull tight! almost to the point of cutting your fingers with the thread. I'll saddle stitch these from here on out. Thanks.
-
Thanks guys, I wish I would of saddle stitched it, instead of being lazy & using my speedy stitcher. Heres a couple more pics. Thanks for looking & commenting.

Here is my 1st leather carving, just some letters for a key chain. I made this for my sister to get some practice with the swivel knife & to try my hand at carving. How bad is is it? It's got a few flaws. But I dont think it looks to bad.

Looks great! What a beautiful piece of leather. Awesome work.
