Members hivemind Posted January 26, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2011 Awesome man, that's what I'm talking about. I want a knife sheath or a dagger scabbard to go from two hours to 15 minutes. I want helmet construction time to go from three hours to 30 minutes. I need to start busting out some serious volume (in my basement shop, in my spare time ) Quote
Members hivemind Posted February 2, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2011 Playing with the Boss. This here is two lames of a helmet: That connection used to be eleven rivets and fifteen to twenty minutes of my life. With the Boss, that took less than three minutes. No hole punching, ho hammering, just some pulling on a lever. I loves me some technologies. Quote
Members Huntbuck Posted February 5, 2011 Members Report Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) That looks great. What thread size are you settled on. I have tried 138 up through the 346... doing first saleable item tonight on it... a holster for glock, using 346 with 8 oz light brown... have done a couple camera cases, notebooks and other small items with the boss and so far, not looking to go back to hand stitching any time soon.

Members hivemind Posted February 6, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 6, 2011 I dunno. I haven't really made anything I'd sell on it yet, and haven't' settled on anything other than using black thread not white. Tried a whole helmet yesterday, but clearly my pattern needs tweaking for machine sewing because it's freaking HUGE. I"m going to sew up a leather bottle today and see how that goes. Quote
