Oops!  Sorry...  :-[   A Tippmann Boss leather stitching machine.  Pretty interesting compared to a sewing machine...

I have one
Works well for most things that are not real big or real small
Doesn't like tight corners much either

But for holsters and most knife sheaths it is great.

Thanks Kid!  Your opinion has eliminated that unreasonable "I got to have me one of those!" feelings I get once in a while!   ;D

I've used one for about 15 years.  They are fine up to a point.  Large holsters such as my full flap ROA holsters must be folded to pass through the throat of the machine (a real PITA) they are not very good for long runs such as in large belts.  With practice you can get very good results, however there a lot of these machines that just sit because the owners got frustrated and gave up.  Tuning a Boss and keeping it in tune can be very frustrating until you thoroughly know the machine. 


My personal opinion, I would not get another one.  I don't know what I would get, but it would not likely be another Boss.

I use a Artisan stitcher,I got mine from Springfield Leather Company. The powered type are a LOT handier. You need all the hands you have to run these things. The slot machine action is cumbersome at best. More money, but well spent in my opinion. Good luck, 26-t. I am having trouble getting on GBO so If I an gone for a while that is what is up. T
