Apexpredcustoms Report post Posted March 14, 2019 fairly new to leather work and I make a wide range of projects, however...... I'm growing weary of hand stitching. I'm looking for advice on used machines I should be looking at and ballpark ranges in price ( I live in alberta Canada) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kgg Report post Posted March 14, 2019 From your bio you mention your speciality is holsters for that I think you are going to need something in the class of a Juki 441 machine probably like the Cobra class 3 or 4 class, Cowboy 3200 or 4500. Since you are in Alberta you may want to checkout Leightons Mach line ( http://www.leightons.ca ) in Red Deer or Longeview Leather ( http://www.longviewleather.com ) Cobra dealer in Longview. See what they recommend and have used capable of sewing your stuff. Another alternative maybe a hand lever machine similar to the Tippmann Boss or the Cowboy Outlaw. Which ever way you decide to go it is not going to be cheap. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Else you get offers from the UK or elsewhere! I see from your IP address that you are at Lacombe. So Leighton's is relatively close to you. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
