Members AKRob Posted January 27, 2008 Members Report Posted January 27, 2008 Slow down/stop on the turns and tighten the top a bit (this works on one of my machines and tightening di nothing on the other) But go slow, complete each stichstroke before moving. I was happy to get my Tippman Boss, but it was so prone to breakage I was compelle to by another for back up. They were breaking down in turn all this last summer- I finally baught a Artisan and pleased. I wish I had known about Artisan 4 years ago. Rob Quote
Members Duke Posted January 27, 2008 Members Report Posted January 27, 2008 I got a boss 1 1/2 months ago from my work.it was the store demo, and sold as damaged. it still needs timed, and I havent had the time to sit down and play with it. got it for a heck of a deal tho, so I cant complain. 500 bucks seems decent to me. I figure im gonna spend bout 50 bucks in long distance phone calls with tippmann techs before its all over.I like it tho, cuz I built a replica of the stohlman workbench an have the boss mounted to a 2x6 so it can mount to the bench or be removed when tooling. the same slot that the boss slides into, also can hold my splitter, also mounted to a 2x6 Quote Duke When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck

Members Duke Posted February 2, 2008 Members Report Posted February 2, 2008 the general construction of the bench is finished, but the finish work on it still has to be done. basically, I have the cabinet doors left to do. my co-worker is an artist/ leather worker/graphic design artist/blacksmith and he said he would come over and draw out the pictoral scenes on the door fronts once I have them finished. gonna take a while, since I got slammed with a bunch of orders and all.if you still want pics, no prob. I use the bench as is,without the doorfronts, but its not very pretty,yet.at this time, I am looking for someone who has a past issue of the leather workers & saddlers journal, so I can get the diagram out of one of those isues for the small tooling desk that al stohlman built also. want to build it too.if anyone reading this has such diagram, please email me an let me know. it would be greatly appreciated.
