Trox Posted May 21, 2012 Report Posted May 21, 2012 Hi, That is to small. Juki 1341 is a machine for medium thickness up to 3/8 of an inch, you need a bigger machine. kidding about QLD ... saw a Juki LS 1341 secondhand machine just now in Bangkok. asking $AUD 1350.00 approx. i see they are about $4300 new. guess it would be a good buy if i really needed a machine that serious. man its enormous!! not what you call portable. i guess i could do a lot of a golf bag with it. and use it for the smaller bags / head covers and things like that. was hoping not to spend that much on what is really the second machine, money is never wasted on good quality tools they say..... hmmmmm.... anyhow doing some more looking around tomorrow.

Members KeepItSimple Posted January 1, 2014 Members Report Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Hi PinSplitter, Sorry to drag up an old thread, Around 20 years ago a friend and I designed and made a golf bag for an Australian Golf Professional I knew - Scott Barr. http://www.flickr.co...08/11696115344/ Sorry, tried to add photo but failed. This bag was a one off and took us 3 months to design it and make it. The machine we used did the job was a Singer K6 and a singer patcher for the lettering. But as others mentioned there are far better machines on the market for making golf bags. We started off by making it out of cardboard and going from there. I am planning to design and make another smaller bag this year for myself. I have drawn up several different plans in AutoCAD for variations of a golf bag but have not made it and no doubt will want to tweak it. At the moment I only have a hand crank patcher from Anne Bonnys Locker but may be getting hold of an industrial sewing machine soon. There are only a few good resources I have found on making leather golf bags. One is How to make a leather golf bag by Jerry Killinger. But a better one is in The art of making leather cases Volume 3 by Al & Ann Stohlman. which can be downloaded from https://www.leatherc...l-stohlman.aspx for about $10. Both these books are old and so are the designs but the techniques can be adapted easily. It is also worthwhile getting some old golf bags and pulling them appart to see how they have been made. How have you progressed? I would like to know if you are still planning to continue making some. Cheers Paul Edited January 1, 2014 by KeepItSimple Quote
cjcolbyjack Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 I just read on the Puritan website that they make chainstitch cylinder arm machines that sew up the arm! The longest so far is a 36" arm! i believe the puritan you are talking about is what i have for sale? do you know the value? thanks!! Quote Thank you! Colby Jack,
cjcolbyjack Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 does anyone know the value of the custom golf bag machines i have and where to sale them? thanks my blog is "custom golf bag business" value? Quote Thank you! Colby Jack,
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 8, 2015 Moderator Report Posted February 8, 2015 i believe the puritan you are talking about is what i have for sale? do you know the value? thanks!! No, but I'd be really interested in if if the price is nice. I would prefer a lockstitch machine with transverse feed, but can't locate one used. Transverse feed machines sew up and down the cylinder arm, rather than across it. They can be used to sew pants legs, sleeves, long cylindrical bags, rifle cases, etc. I am guessing that the Puritan, being a needle and awl chainstitch machine, only sews up the arm. But, I could be wrong.
