mikesc Posted December 31, 2017 Report Posted December 31, 2017 Try this link: https://www.facebook.com/skinnerleather/?timeline_context_item_type=intro_card_work&timeline_context_item_source=890760061&pnref=lhc That link just goes to some artists /graphic designer / leatherworker's ( yours ? ) facebook page..nice work..but no mention of it being a Cowboy machine official dealer..That said , I think that Bob once mentioned he had an official dealer here in France , and when I looked them up they had no website, no business registration number etc just an email address ( not very confidence inspiring considering the cost of the machines )..maybe the simplest thing would be to phone Cowboy..or Neil's Saddlery ( I can never work out who out of those two is the official importer / manufacturer in the USA..of what I think is a "Global" machine ) and ask them who, if anyone, is their official dealer in Canada.

A search shows only a FB page, no website for Skinner Leather. See also company info https://heycompanies.ca/0617678/Skinner_Leather_-_Ottawa_based_Leather_Worker Tom Quote

Probably best thing is to send him a message through Facebook enquiring. I'm aware of him only because he is also a member of the 'Tips and Tricks with Cobra Class Leather Working Equipment' FB group. Edited December 31, 2017 by daveottawa additional info. Quote
Members HBARK Posted January 1, 2018 Members Report Posted January 1, 2018 I bought a 4500 off Bob a few years ago and drove to Toledo to pick it up.I wanted to see the ins ands outs of it and see how it worked.I took it back across the boarder and only had to pay HST.If I had stayed 24 hours they said they could allowed some off.There was no problem at all.I was only stopped maybe 20 min.They were real good to deal with. Bob was great to deal with and I was glad I took the time to go and meet him. Quote
Members plinkercases Posted January 1, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 1, 2018 HBARK thanks for your experience. Did you pay any tax with Bob or just our HST? and great to hear they didn't charge you any duty.

Members HBARK Posted January 1, 2018 Members Report Posted January 1, 2018 I only paid HST. I showed them the bill of sale and they were good with that.I also had one of his adds from the Harness Shop with me.They looked at it but I didn't really need that. Quote

Members catskin Posted January 3, 2018 Members Report Posted January 3, 2018 Just a note of interest. When I bought my machine Cowboy 4500 Leightons price for virtually the same machine ( juki 441 clone ) was 2 and a 1/2 times ( picked up at his place), what mine cost me INCLUDING shipping from Toledo and I got just about every optional foot and needle plate included. When I ordered needles from him they were 3 time the price in Winnipeg. Quote
