SCOUTER Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Posted January 31, 2008 It's funny, When I was ordering from Tippmann I had no idea I was talking to Bob Tippmann, (nephew) he was very nice and also a EAGLE Scout. =) As for the price. They were having a "holiday Special" that included a bunch of accessories free. I have found that the price varied somewhat from store to store but at this time direct was cheapest for me. Grunt- As for leaving marks on the back, their is a foot tension knob right on top of the machine that will add or release tension with ease. No marks here! Ask for the DVD! It shows everything including troubleshooting the boss! Quote
Kevin King Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 That looks NICE! I had a boss for a couple of months and HATED it. I paid 950 for it and sold it for 1000, so it turned out ok.

Members Duke Posted January 31, 2008 Members Report Posted January 31, 2008 you can download the DVD on thier website. of course theyre trying to target leather workers directly, they lost business when Tandy decided not to carry the boss anymore. Tandy was supposed to have a pro-stitcher out by the first of the year that was supposed to be comparable to the boss.now we are being told that we will not be selling the pro-stitcher at all. who knows,maybe we will go back to the boss. only time will tell.

SCOUTER Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Posted January 31, 2008 Kevin- That was another reason I gave it a try... It's like a Harley- (hard to loose money on it) Duke- I asked Bob (Tippmann) about that similar machine. He said that they had to stop selling it due to patent infringement. Quote
Members TexasJack Posted February 3, 2008 Members Report Posted February 3, 2008 A friend bought one and brought it to a knifemaker's hammer-in. He gave a demo, making a simple sheath. It was surprising just how easy it was to set up and get going. It's still machine stitching and not hand stitching, but it's pretty impressive for turning out quick and decent results. Quote
