My adventures in leatherworking have led me to purchase a Tippman Boss Leather Sewing Machine. I have been working with heavier leathers in belts, holsters and phone cases and I felt that I needed more speed control than my Consew allows, even with the reduction-gear motor. I will eventually add a speed reducer wheel, but I really wanted a heavy-duty stitcher, and the Boss was within my budget.
I picked up a second-hand cast-iron HS model with a low serial number in great condition a few days ago.
So far I have only managed to practice on scraps, but I hope to be cranking out useful items soon.
