I've made  her a couple, not D&B level, though.

I bet she loves the ones you made more. Any pics to share?

She doesn't carry the D&B's anymore, she still uses mine. She specifically asked for something small she could put just a few essentials in trips when she didn't need or want to carry a big one. Brown is first attempt, based on that one, she made some requests for the second, blue one. They were a learning experience. Not something I would want to do a lot of. In fact, I believe two was enough. I believe I hand stitched the first one, machine stitched the second one.

To my un-tutored eye, and with nil experience in bag-making, they look excellent!

Rocky Aussie, I have the narrow set, but I’m wondering if you make a flat plate that fits the CB 4500? I want to use Uwe’s in-line pressure foot without changing everything back and forth

Not at present friend but it is a good idea let me see what I can come up with.

This is the D&B bag that I made the leather strap for. Would not have been possible with out Rocky's gear!  This was a shot take before I had finished edging the strap and making the 2nd keeper. Not my cup of tea but I like to help out when the locals are quited rip off prices. I am now resoring and relacing a 60s vintage base ball glove....last time I touched one was in the 60s..The customer was quoted $150 by the local sporting goods shop.

Hi, 

 

I've been trying to decide between a cb341 and a cb3200 based on this thread I feel like RockyAzzie's modification it should be good for me.

Can you confirm he is still making and selling them?

I do lighter stuff bit I like a thicker thread so think the cb3200 will be best for me.

I want to do

Bags, wallets, valets, belts, and things of that nature plus hobby boots, some upholstery for my furniture and car upholstery,  I'd also like to be able to do things like redo my curtains.

The local dealer has a cb341 for about 2/3 the price of the cb3200 and I'm very torn.
