Nice work out! Not sure what's up with the stroke. Probably some adjustment there somewhere?? Ask Todd, he might know.

Way cool!

Awesome piece of work.

Is my dream😮😮😮

Thank you for sharing your opinion and experience with this machine. I don't have a machine right now but have researched this one and heard nothing but good things about it. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

Hi Robert, all good helpful points. You might consider getting in touch with your local tech high school department to see if they have 3D printers. Do a sketch of the spool holders you would like and see if they could recreate your design? Cheers...Freddie

There are aftermarket tables on ETSY. they are slightly smaller but pop on and off in less than a minute.

I also have the class 26. My only complaint like you is taking off and putting on that table. I ended up making my own table out of aluminum and using clamps. Super easy solution and now it takes a few seconds to change out

Lots of great ideas

Hey Robert. Thanks for the interesting chat and suggestions.

I bought the cowboy CB3200. About the same price, but the bobbins are as big as they are for bigger machines (like the class 3&4 Cobra). I also like the sit down table better than the stand up. I also got a better price on the Cowboy. I talked to leather machine co, but the shipping is the real killer. I drove 1.5 hours to get my machine. Cowboy offers lots of accessory options too. Pound for pound, the Cowboy was a better buy IMO. Cowboy also has it's own line of thread, that IMO, is priced quite reasonable. I thought LMC was pretty expensive for thread. Not really a many good places to buy the heavy thread for these machines at a good price. Tandy and Weaver are pretty high priced on the thread for anything over 69/138. Once you get to 207+, it gets kinda expensive. I love my machine too. I also own a leatherwork from Sailrite. Like that machine too for lighter flat stuff. Nothing wrong with hand sewing. I just don't want to waste all of my time sewing most projects. I sewed two belts and that was enough for me. Huge time suck sewing them. My opinion is, if you can afford a machine and can justify buying one, do it. I would also recommend a cylinder arm over a flat bed every day of the week and twice on Sunday. There isn't much of anything that a cylinder arm can't do but a flatbed gets limited quick.

The Tech sew 4800 pro is amazing! And the service is unmatched! Love your channel!

Good video thank you for taking your time Robert.

🧵 🪡 Sew, sew… it’s the way to go. Either by hand or by machine. 🪡 🧵

It turned out beautifully!

What great work !

Robert Little’s logical leatherworks.

Wow. What a huge amount of detail. Very cool project. Great work

Really fine work sir, keep it up!

I loved your rendition of mascon leather, I laughed till I cried.

Over time you’ll have to adjust the detents on the auto cycle. I’ve had to do this occasionally on some of my splitters. I’m guessing that’s all it is.

Looking good. Love the mug

Great work Robert 👌🏻its very nice to watch your videos, i learn so mutch from them and it inspiration me to make more leathercraft , and thx for showing my holster , i have to come out from my comfort zoone and try and learn to do some tooling , going to try geting some tools ,take care and thx again for great videos

Great project, Robert, and very inspirational! I appreciate including your viewers in the thought process you went through during the design and construction phases of the project. Picked up some good tips!

Wow Robert! That turned out really nice. Great job! I do have a question for you. You have used that rotary punch on several projects. What brand is it and where did you pick that up? It punches holes without any effort. Nice clean cuts. I’m looking to get one like yours. Thanks.

You did a fantastic job, Robert!

Robert that is a good tip about folding the leather before laminating the two together. Wow, that is a sharp rig for sure. Your viewers holster looked really good too!. Great work as always. They will love it I'm sure! Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

That black color really pops with the blue accents. Beautiful

THAT is not decaf which would explain all that wood splitting!

Whatcha makin’?

Video was helpful, but showing how you drew the pattern out and explaining some of the reasoning behind the shapes would have been super helpful, especially given you say this is for a beginner.

Glad to see that I am not the only one who has problems with Double sided tape!

Awesome Robert...were did you buy the ...Turquoise spots?

Looking forward to the holster build!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

I wish it would be saturday today 😆did i send you picture on western holster i made ? I dont remember, take care out there ,

Good morning Robert. Look forward to seeing the holster build. You have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

Really cool. I can’t believe you hand draw your patterns. That’s amazing Love the fold over for the belt loop instead of 2 pieces

Hard to keep up with the splitter.

Hello Robert, Probably just an adjustment needed, 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

Nice job. No gym routine needed that day Robert. Nice machine. I’m sure it’s something simple wrong with the splitter.

Hello Robert. Beautiful place to split!! I’m betting that with the altitude change the pressures on the machine have changed. You may have to adjust the detents on the valve. I’m sure it’s an easy fix! Nice work splitting. Thanks for the video👍🏻👍🏻

Tossing those chunks of firewood reminded me of a time I was helping Dad with firewood back on the farm when I was pretty young. We were loading wood that we had cut up into the bed of his pickup. He was in the truck, was backing it up to reach more wood, I was behind the truck tossing chunks in. He had his right arm on the back of the seat, cranked around looking out the back window while backing. I tossed a chunk of wood, misjudged the distance and speed he was backing. It hit the edge of the back window and while he was looking through the window the window filled with thousands of cracks. Luckily it was safety glass and stayed in place. From what I remember, Dad didn’t make a big deal out of it, shook his head and said mistakes happen.

Glad we got to stop by and see the project that day.

I would of needed a second hand just lifting some of the big rounds. You still had dry spots on most of your shirt, I think I sweat more watching you work.

My back was killing me by the end of the video!

Looks like a productive 25 minutes.

I would have to agree with the wood slivers getting underneath the ram plate since you are splitting and forcing it to load the trailer. That would be my guess since you didn’t have any trouble with it until it was a lot of wood pushing into the trailer. Nice looking shirt

One issue can be that wood slivers get under the ram plate. I had a different brand that would return the ram (had a detent on the return) and if you had a bunch of wood junk under the ram it would trip the detent and stop the ram from returning on it's own. All I had to do was keep the track the ram rides in clean. You want to anyway or that stuff will get compacted in there and be extremely hard to clean out. It gets compressed in there.

Chris actually has a video on the WR channel of him adjusting the detents, and how to set them from a few years ago. Its not uncommon for them to get themselves out of wack from time to time, due to expansion and contraction, needing minor adjustments on any brand of machinery* Hope that helps🤜🤛✌️

I could have come and helped.
