What Hand Stichers are out there?

[austinious]

Hi, first post...

So, I bought a Singer 401a like a dope and of course it doesn't go through more than garment weight.

I started to read some of the sticky posts and realized that portable machines won't work.

Is there a hand sticher other than the Tippmann Boss out there?  I have no problem with the Boss, but it is rather expensive for a manual machine.

 

Thanks

Cowboy has a manually operated harness stitcher that is just being seen in North America, called The Outlaw. It is supposed to be  similar to the Boss in capacity. Ask your Cowboy dealer if he has one in stock yet. There are banner ads on top of each page for our supporting suppliers, brands and dealers.

Have you thought about actually real hand stitching? I have two leather sewing machines and still hand stitch all the time.

Wizcrafts, Thanks I'll look for my local dealer.

KingsCounty, I hand stitch right now, I was thinking of expanding, but maybe I'll stick with handstitching for awhile.

There are a few hand operated leather machines on the market, in Australia our Cowboy brand does a CB2500HC (hand crank), a CB3200HC (hand crank) and we are now awaiting the arrival of our Cowboy Outlaw machines.   However there are other makers, some that comes to mind are the Luberto machine, the Pearson (BUSMC) No 6, and the Boss.

Austin,  I've been HS for years and finally decided to learn to use the treadle/hand crank/ motor compatible Pearson no. 6  before my fingers give out. 

When the machine gets here you are more than welcome to come over and try it out of you are still looking at options.

Jeff over in East Texas.

Since hand operated machines are being discussed.  I wonder why no company seems to have made a machine other then the 29k ( patcher ) style machine with the flywheel on the front.  They would be SO MUCH easier to use then with it on the end like the one pictured.  Doesn't seem like it would have taken that much more machineing .I realize now most machines are motorized but a lot of the older machines were built when power was not available to everybody like it is now.

I  have heard rumors that Weaver Leather is redesigning the Luberto Wyndham Cub hand crank machine for sale early next spring.  should be in their catalog!    I have a Luberto #9 and it sews through everything I put under it.
