I am selling my trusty industrial Clicker Press which has served me well. I am located in Grass Valley, CA, and I got it a year ago, and it's the machine that I've needed this whole time. It's a complete game-changer for my business. Unfortunately, I have to now move and downsize as we are being kicked out of our space, so I reluctantly have to let it move on. This machine is in working condition and is invaluable for leather production! The cutting bed is 24" x 12", and the swivel head is 12" x 12". This machine is a 10 Ton Clicker and its cutting power and depth can be adjusted for just about any die height. It has new capacitors in it and runs powerfully. It is a single-phase and will plug into a 30Amp 220-volt socket. it also comes with a 20 to 30 ft 220v heavy-duty extension cord. This machine will become available for pickup on April 25th as my business is transitioning spaces, and must be gone by the 30th. You are welcome to come to see it beforehand. BRAND NEW this clicker would be over $6k to order. I'm asking $3,500.00 or the best offer. Bear in mind, this machine is very heavy, nearly 1000 lbs. You would need to show up with a lift gate and a pallet jack to move it. I would also recommend coming with at least two other strong bodies to help out and do it well. This machine is made by a company that can be reached for technical support, with whom I have regular contact. The manual is also included. Please contact me if interested.

Hello there! I have a small independent handbag brand based out of Queens NYC. I need an assistant that hopefully has altelier level skills. I'm making my samples but I need help. There is some Heated edge finishing. Bags themselves are not complicated at all but my edge painting skills are not up to par yet and I also need help to produce faster. I don't want to hire a manufacturer at this time because I have been through 3 in NYC and the quality is not what I'm looking for. Please comment below anyone who is interested thank you!

Hi guys ! It's my first post on this amazing forum ! I have a question for you. Trying to figure out numbers. The girl who is making prototypes for my dog accessories company estimates that per skin (average 18 square feet) we can make about 10 medium size dog collar (lining included). If we calculated actual areas and square feet we come up to about 50 dog collars per skin. Is there a way to accuratly calculate how much material is needed ? Thanks a bunch !

Hello fellow leather heads! Just wanted to share with everyone the process I use to producing a very nice leather handle for the product line I came up with. If you have any questions about my methods or what I produce, feel free to ask! -Alec https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SKv_9FICwM

Hello all! I'm a very excited new member to the leather worker community. I'm putting together a small production of specialized unique wallets and I'm looking for some quality leather for them. I have found a bunch of great shops, however it seems that most of the best leather gets imported from countries in South America such as Brazil and Argentina. Can anyone point me in the right direction of who to contact down there so that I can look into buying some? I know that they will usually only work with individuals that will buy in bulk and I believe that I will be buying enough to appeas that. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
