Bree Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 Good to know there's a truck available. I KNOW you aren't gonna strap that thing on your bike... Sure it's tricked out, but I didn't see a trunk on that thing. At least not one big enough for the machine!I take it the GPS stayed on and all went well on your journey home. Looking forward to seeing your ultra mega cool entry for the show next year! Brent Yes the trip home was uneventful. I took a 250 mile Fall Color ride today in the Southern Tier of NY and it was simply spectacular. The mountains are ablaze. You guys are looking for competition stuff from me. I am just a novice at this leathercrafting and one who is dar more concerned with making money than winning a prize!! But I may find some kind of treachery that can overcome skill and experience.

Members Handstitched Posted October 20, 2008 Members Report Posted October 20, 2008 I recently bought a machine called the Colt from 'Q Stitch' in Queensland Australia, which would be the equivalent to your machine. Mate , you've made a good choice. I still have my 'learner plates' on so I still have a lot learn about the machine which will come with practice, thankfully 'Q Stitch' have also been very helpful . All the best , have fun with your new machine Handstitched Western Australia Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Members Todd Posted October 20, 2008 Members Report Posted October 20, 2008 I have the 3000 myself and am very happy with it. Enjoy. Quote
Bree Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Posted October 22, 2008 UPS Freight called and the machine will be at the terminal on Thursday. I have lured 4 of my Niagara Falls Harley Owners Group guys to help load the machine on my Dodge RAM and then unload it at my place and help get it set up. I lured them with BEER. I had some left over from a party I had for some HOG friends from Chicago. Many thanks to Dave for his help in greasing the skids on this delivery... all 460+ pounds of it. I will report more when the baby is in the nest. Oh... my new Embosser is on its way as well as my new Heritage Spot setter and skiver. So I will soon be surrounded with production equipment to begin my little business come 2009! Now I need to make some space in the shop and the sewing room. Quote Ride Safe!

Bree Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 The Artisan T-4000 LA-25 on the Ped 600 is simply HUGE!!! We just got it uncrated and put the head on the stand. It is enormous. All of the Weaver equipment arrived at the same time. The Tippman embosser arrived a day or two before. I have a ton of unpacking and assembly to do tomorrow. I will post some PIX when I get a chance. It's just HUGE!! Quote Ride Safe!

esantoro Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 I've never been into cars or really many mechanical things. But there is just something so darn sexy about good quality sewing machines. All I can figure is that it must have something to do with the intertwining of simple mechanisms working in concert. The total working is complex, yet still simple. That and the fact that when you really think about it.... So much depends upon a sewing machine, to paraphrase William Carlos Williams.

Bree Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Posted October 26, 2008 How heavy would you say the head is?ed About 225 lbs. It's BIG!! I have had out of town company so I haven't had a chance to process the PIX but I will try to get to it tomorrow or Monday. Heck I have all this new equipment to set up and learn how to use it. We just got the spot setter built and configured. Quote Ride Safe!

Heck I have all this new equipment to set up and learn how to use it. We just got the spot setter built and configured. When you get set up, I would love to know how stable it is on the smaller base. I looked at this model several months ago and they were kind of saying that because of the weight and arm length it needed that giant stand. I would love it if you can get away with using the smaller one. That would probably prompt me to purchase one. Let me know how it works out.... Quote
