Bree Report post Posted October 17, 2008 Well I called Weaver and bought a lot of goodies today. Got me an 8" skiver, a Heritage Foot Pedal Spot Setter with a bunch of accessories and dies. Some needles, Master Tool strap punches, CSO oblong punches, Misc tools, several gallons of dyes, Trag, edge paint, Barge Cement, Resolene as well as a nice Novolene block. I also picked up a bunch of straps with some custom services added to test out Weaver's Custom shop. For those who buy consumables from Weaver remember that water-based stuff can't be shipped when the temperature is below freezing so now is the time to stock up for the winter! Still waiting for my new sewing machine. No ship date yet. Very annoying. BTW... Weaver actually had everything I ordered in stock. That was a pleasant surprise!

wildrose Report post Posted October 18, 2008 Isn't it wonderful to find everything in stock? I thought I was that lucky with my last Tandy order, and I was short 2 buckles...had to harass the manager (whom I know personally) about not putting in a back order slip! At least it was not something I needed urgently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least it was not something I needed urgently. I just had an order delivered from Tandy in the UK and I have to say, I'm impressed. The service was excellent and not only was it all there, it arrived within 24 hours. Most impressive! I've been looking at those Weaver Heritage machines for a while, Bree. They are beautiful! I'd be interested to know how well they work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be interested to know how well they work. I will let you all know how the machines perform as well as how the vendors perform in filling the orders. You might be surprised with the results. I will be getting the shipping quotes tomorrow from Weaver since the Heritage machine weighs over 100 pounds and has to be shipped by commercial carrier. My understanding is that the Tippman embosser is on its way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
