Members Dwight Posted February 1, 2022 Members Report Posted February 1, 2022 I have no doubt I could build one for far less than 200 bucks . . . but when you add the labor time to the materials . . . it gets pricey right quick. I could easily build one for myself . . . have done far more complicated machinery that that . . . but again . . . once the time is put in it . . . what did I save?? May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com

May God bless, Dwight Its not what you saved but what you gained, knowledge, confidence and ability to do it. Money means nothing. Idle time is wasted. IMO i would start with one of these lol.https://www.harborfreight.com/automotive/winches/12-ton-capacity-hand-winch-62592.html Edited February 1, 2022 by chuck123wapati Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

It’s very very simple to use and all steel construction with heavy duty bearings and adjustable height for different thicknesses of leather. Hand crank , and Made in the USA by me.. .Do you think there Would be a market for it , Again for about $200 . thanks Paul I’m following for sure. Would like to get one! Quote
