I like the idea of reviews sprinkled in among the skills. Good tools are important, cause it's harder to learn how to do something right if the tools are bad.
Cl3v3r, you're adorable... The reason the spool rack holds two spools is so you can leave the bobbin loader threaded while you sew. It's also the reason there's an auto-stop on the bobbin. Also, depending on the thread you're using, you might be missing a wrap around the tension plate on the front of the machine (the bright silver plate with the three holes in it). As long as the bobbin doesn't bind, though, you do you. One last tip... To change threads, don't unthread the machine; tie in the new thread with a square knot and slowly run it through the machine. Works like a charm. I used to repair machines like this (and sergers) for a stage curtain manufacturer. If you think leather is tough on sewing machines, try 12-18oz velvet/velour!! 😂
Yeah I use an industrial machine on canvas sheep blankets for work and I came here to tell him this! You just need two bobbins. When you remove one from the reloader, you put the empty one on it and it will fill it up for you while you keep sewing. No flapping around and knotting up of the other thread needed! And the second one will be ready and waiting for you when you need it.
I enjoy your tool reviews. Not only does it help with possible purchases and upgrade considerations, but also, if the sponsor of the tool sends it for free, it sorta upgrades the channel itself and expands the scope you can cover for your projects. You often show the way to do stuff without the tools anyway so it doesn't effect the educational part, but it can help get more projects done in less time.
I like the idea of doing tool reviews occasionally, just so long as they are geared towards non-professionals because I think a lot of us are hobbyists and homecrafters. As long as the tools are ones we could likely afford, I'd be happy to hear about them!
Same, my nails always look like crap because I am anemic and also bad at remembering they need care beyond trimming, so I admire someone who can keep theirs looking neat, especially while working with their hands a lot.
I would like to see an evolution of this by having you do a project that you maybe already did by hand and give notes on the difference or limitations. Keep it up!
I'd really like to see this as a semi-regular bonus episode situation. It is different enough from your normal content but I personally feel it interrupts your normal distribution. But I really enjoyed it
This video was a great help! We have been using our Cowboy for 3 months and all of a sudden it was having tension problems. After about an hour we weren't making any progress so I went looking for video, found yours and wammoo you pinpointed the cause. It's working fine now. THANKS
A tool that matches your skill level ! ( It is possible!) Yes tool reviews are appreciated.Your experience and expertise lend great integrity to your reviews of conditions, techniques, possible projects for us to be aware of, challenged by. Thanks you are a good teacher 🌀
I got some bonded nylon sewing thread from an old job where I made backpacks. Used it to make leather jackets etc. Also made a terry cloth bath robe for my then GF and that bathrobe has lasted 25 years and is still going strong... as are my leather vests etc. I pull a 60Lb reflex longbow and I can't break this stuff. It is awesome. and speaking as someone who has hand sewed leather with the triangular pointed leather sewing needles, a leather sewing machine is totally worth it. My fingers hurt more after sewing than from using a 60 lb bow all day at archery SCA events.
I love your style of review. Informative, but very entertaining. I have looked at leather sewing machines sold on ebay from time to time. More of the antique/industrial variety completely made of metal. Real tanks, but about as expensive. But as I do not use my very nice Pfaff home sewing machine, I am almost certain that such a giant investment would also just collect dust here (actually, my husband uses that machine more than I do. I know, a real shame).
Loved the video, it was a fantastic review. I’m in a tough spot. I’d absolutely see one of these in my future if I had the room for it… but one thing I LOVE about your channel is the ingenuity and ability to work with what you have. Sometimes buying just makes more sense and it’s great to see what can be done if you invest in the hobby, but don’t forget your roots. It really defines this channel.
I liked the stitch test you did for Accuracy! That's great practice for machine sewing in general. I've been starting to use my century old Singer handcrank with thinner leathers, and I might be doing a few tests like that to get used to using it.
Tool and product reviews would be awesome. What has worked well for you long-term, what did you need to replace, what hasn't been used in a while for whatever reason?
I have a trick on the circles and curves. Reduce your stitch length. A smaller stitch will hug the curves more easily and give you a smoother line. EDIT: What about testing the machine with a tougher leather such as moose or bull?
It looks like you're pushing the leather thru. You should be keeping light tension on the leather and let the stepper foot pull it in. I balked at the price originally, but the fact that it appears to be cast iron, has the oil pump, the extra features AND the height-adjustable table? Totally reasonable price considering you can get SERGERS that cost that much without all the extra features
great review. I put ours together today and can't wait to play with it tomorrow. My students are very excited. There is a video on threading the machine and the bobbin. About 3 minutes, on the Tandy page for the machine.
Tools are important! Some things just can't be done without tools. I've been considering a heavier machine for thick layers and canvas, but I want it to do leather too at those prices. This is actually really helpful, since I'm trying to start my own handicrafts business.
The Cowboy reminds me of the Juki industrial machines I trained on back in the day. It's set up very similarly, with the oil bath in the base, the multi-spool holder, how it threads & so on. If I were to ever win the lottery (LOL) I'd consider getting one of these as I work with leather a lot in my costuming.
Springfield leather has ~$2.45/square foot 2oz leather that's great for practicing stuff like this. I use it to practice new techniques for everything but carving. Way too thin for that, but great for pretty much everything else
For sure. I’d love to see some tool reviews. I’ve been thinking about getting into these crafts and maybe larping too. To start out I need to know what tools to get so I can get good use from them without paying a leg for it.
That is a beefy boy with a good price point for a professional machine. I only do fabric sewing so it's a bit much for my needs, but I can't deny that I want one now. 😂
I have a TechSew cylinder-arm leather machine. When it’s dialed in, I can crank out professional looking projects in a flash. However, it can time a minute to adjust tension for different material thicknesses and thread sizes. The more you play with one of these, the less frustration you experience.
I have two older Singers, one is for upholstery and the other is for really heavy leather. The Singer 45K25 with cylinder arm is full on saddle and harness sewing machine. I think Weaver sells one like your Tandy and they are great for upholstery as well. Remember some leather is used in upholstery, but they work well with heavy cloth such as canvas.
I czeched it out at my local tandy. Seems like a well built machine. I still think when i get a dedicated flatbed i will go with a cobra class 20. I have a cobra class 26 now so all of my feet will work with it. The 797 takes different type foot system.
Eventhough I love you talking about tools, I do feel there's a gap starting to create with simple diy projects and 25k worth of equipment needed to follow along. It's a mixed feeling as I love your projects, but sometimes it's not suitable for beginners / hobbyist anymore due to the tools used such as a laser cutter. Will still steal your ideas for my larp characters ;)
well..lets see...this is a fantastic machine from what I see...but for winding the the bobbin...I would try turning the big black knob on the drive pulley anti clockwise...like a regular sewing machine to put the needle end of the machine in neutral ...I don'y know if it works...but I would try that...thanks
I recently got a Walking foot industrial sewing machine I love it tho looks very much like that one but i wanted to get into leather craft and sewing was one of the things i hated alot .... what would take 1-2 hours would take a few seconds on the machine but also If i could I HIGHLY recommend a machine with needle positioning and or the fully automatic versions where it will will cut the thread and can do auto backstitching and sometimes auto foot lift. I really like my Zoje walking foot but mine isnt the automatic version but for the speed im going at I dont need it and im happy but once im comfortable I could look into a cylinder arm !....but thats like 2-3 times the price and thats without any of the fancy stuff.
Something like an N20 metal gear reduction gearbox motor will probably work as a bobbin winder just solder an old USB lead to it and a speed controller and your dun. A bit of blue tack will stop the bobbin from spinning when rethreading the bobbin. or get a Portable Bobbin Winding Machine for £20+ ebay
What about using the sewing machine to create a portable bathtub? An expandable frame similar to your vanity table with a waterproof liner you can sew up. Similar to above ground pools
I have a little tip for anybody that wants to use synthetic sinew for the leather working project. Twist and rub beeswax on every so often. It's a pain when the needle snages it
Great review! I love my Cobra Class 26 cylinder machine, but if I'd seen this video when I first started looking for a good leather sewing machine, I might have saved $1,000 and bought this instead. NGL, the cylinder machine really works for what I do (lots of bags), but I've seen plenty of folks make a flat-top machine work just fine.
Love to see you make a wooden mimic chest that looks normal until you open it depending on how its open ether shows a normal chest inside or a mimic inside! Think like a puzzle box mechanic where mimic feature are default but if you move a hidden panel or unlock with a magnetic key it shows normal inside and treasure. False bottom on inside as well so normal chest inside shows your loot but if ya don't open it right then you get mimic tongue and throat
$1600 is so hard , as a hobby. Just had this talk with the wife , I wish there was something in the middle. I got the $120 china one you did a video about and I hate it sooooo much. I wish there was a $4-600 lvl for me self ranking high beginner to mid level range 37xp I’d say . Its doesn’t math out for me, but I have 3 belts to do that will have a core and a liner so I’m sure I’ll be wishing I’d have this halfway through.
There is probably a mechanism to stop the needle from moving while you fill your bobbin. It's standard on traditional sewing machines so I would be surprised if it's missing on this one. You should ask Tandy about it.
These machines do not actually have a drive cutoff i don’t think, my sailrite fabricator ( basically the same machine maybe even made by the same machine company) has a drive disconnect built into the handwheel for that purpose since the winder is separate but these Tandy machines use a mid shaft winder.
I got a old used necchi machine for around $250 at a sewing repair shop. It's able to handle two thin pieces of leather. edit: I don't do leather very often. mostly marine vinyl.
@@OtherSarah2 I have played with it and the machine can do it, but I am busy doing other things. I've not even used the necchi for a couple years now. It's more of a hobby.
Well it's been 9 months I hope you learned how to adjust the bobbin tension😮 it drives me crazy to see the loop on the top threads😢 there's a screw on the bobbin holder tighten or loosen it so the thread barely slips out while holding the thread and bouncing the bobbin downward😊 I hope that helps😅
About bobins .. sure that part is simple .. but do you put it in clockwise or anticlockwise into the metal casing? That's the things that always messes me up
"I saw draw instead of drawer because I'm from new england" so am I but I have never once heard anyone pronounce it "draw". I guess there really is a lot of differences even between nearby states.
how many dnd professions outfits have you made? like the thief, mage and so on i wanna see all you outfits with a close up on all you drinks if they are in a glass lol
I want one of those "cheap" leather sewing machine that you have. It really is available from Amazon (Sweden) and at the low cost of... What? Around 1200 American dollars! Plus shipping (about the same amount of money)! Or from Wish for around the same price as you got it for (shipping included). So, what's the problem? I'll tell you what the problem is: "The thing in the pics might not be anywhere near the thing you get!". That's the problem. I want it, but I can't get it. Oh, just so you know, woodwork and textile education is mandatory in Sweden. That's great!
Question: Is there a way to adjust the gap of the foot ? I ask because I can only fit 7mm or 2 7ounces pieces of leather and no more, and tandy claims 11mm
@@SkillTree I’m one of the number of people who were sitting in the woods deer hunting these past couple weeks, I’ll take any day upload to help pass some time my man🤣
I don't even have to watch the video to say it's worth it. I use a Consew machine like 40 hours a week at my job and man, it's nice! Sewing leather is a breeze on it..... my particular machine hates boning though, heh.
Oh man..... threading yours is slightly easier than threading the one I use. There's another little disk thing on the front of mine. Also, my machine is nowhere near as fast as you set yours! I'd ruin so much product going that fast!
I appreciate the review but I'd in future reviews it would be helpful to know the MSRP of the item/tool. You mentioned your $100 machine but never said the price of this machine.

This is one of those thing where I know I'll hardly ever use it and with the price tag I'd never buy one, but it's really cool and I want one anyway.
I love these videos, get that hot Tandy sponsorship and then "How much stuff can we get from them?!" Which is amazing. Kudos good sir!
I like the idea of doing tool reviews occasionally, just so long as they are geared towards non-professionals because I think a lot of us are hobbyists and homecrafters. As long as the tools are ones we could likely afford, I'd be happy to hear about them!
I like the tool reviews. It’s a great way to let us consider what we want we actually need for our kit.
Interesting to hear a perspective from someone who's obviously never used an industrial machine. Appreciate it
I spent the first 4 minutes distracted by your cute manicure 😩 You are, as ever, a whole mood.

Excellent review. Thank you. I will likely start with a manual machine first, but I do see a Tandy Cowboy in my future.
On my hand crank leather machine I used Plastidip on the walking foot to help the marring issue.

Firstly, thanks for the video. Good content.
I have a collection of industrial machines, but leather's a whole new game. Considering this machine.
that top horizontal bar when threading with three holes, you s around, down, up, down, (not critical) but FYI
Eventhough I love you talking about tools, I do feel there's a gap starting to create with simple diy projects and 25k worth of equipment needed to follow along.
It's a mixed feeling as I love your projects, but sometimes it's not suitable for beginners / hobbyist anymore due to the tools used such as a laser cutter.

Yes, all the tool reviews. Everything is helpful you guys are great
Good show bro. Also what about some creative pattern stamping
Amazing video, tool videos are great!

You should do a "Leveling UP RUclips" anytime your doing a review.
Great review! I love my Cobra Class 26 cylinder machine, but if I'd seen this video when I first started looking for a good leather sewing machine, I might have saved $1,000 and bought this instead.
NGL, the cylinder machine really works for what I do (lots of bags), but I've seen plenty of folks make a flat-top machine work just fine.
Just a quick tip, if your machine doesn't have the markers for seam allowance just use a long strip of painters tape so you don't have to eyeball it.
Good idea!! Totally going to do that
also a strip of masking tape with pen lines for 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4" from the needle can be very helpful.
Love to see you make a wooden mimic chest that looks normal until you open it depending on how its open ether shows a normal chest inside or a mimic inside! Think like a puzzle box mechanic where mimic feature are default but if you move a hidden panel or unlock with a magnetic key it shows normal inside and treasure. False bottom on inside as well so normal chest inside shows your loot but if ya don't open it right then you get mimic tongue and throat
Man, just as I was gearing up to get the other one you made a video on, you have to come out with this. 😵💫
$1600 is so hard , as a hobby. Just had this talk with the wife , I wish there was something in the middle. I got the $120 china one you did a video about and I hate it sooooo much.

Its doesn’t math out for me, but I have 3 belts to do that will have a core and a liner so I’m sure I’ll be wishing I’d have this halfway through.
Singer makes a heavy duty machine in the $200 to $300 range! Can give that one a try!
Hey love this machine how much is the cost and where can i get one to buy
There is probably a mechanism to stop the needle from moving while you fill your bobbin. It's standard on traditional sewing machines so I would be surprised if it's missing on this one. You should ask Tandy about it.
These machines do not actually have a drive cutoff i don’t think, my sailrite fabricator ( basically the same machine maybe even made by the same machine company) has a drive disconnect built into the handwheel for that purpose since the winder is separate but these Tandy machines use a mid shaft winder.

33-130. No wax, no thick threads
About bobins .. sure that part is simple .. but do you put it in clockwise or anticlockwise into the metal casing? That's the things that always messes me up

Thanks. I appreciate the content
how thin and thick of leather will it see?
Sold !!!! Thanks clever
Have you considered using a 3D Printer for a project?
Great video!
The skill You were looking for is SEWING ;)
Question: Is there a way to adjust the gap of the foot ? I ask because I can only fit 7mm or 2 7ounces pieces of leather and no more, and tandy claims 11mm
I’m having this same problem
The only way I found is to modify the foot by filing the slot deeper
For everything the 1600 dollar price tag was less than I was expecting with all the stuff you get.
Wth, a Friday upload???? I’m happy either way for another skill tree episode though lol
It was Thanksgiving, we figured everyone would be off humaning and eating way too much food. 🤣
@@SkillTree I’m one of the number of people who were sitting in the woods deer hunting these past couple weeks, I’ll take any day upload to help pass some time my man🤣
I don't even have to watch the video to say it's worth it. I use a Consew machine like 40 hours a week at my job and man, it's nice! Sewing leather is a breeze on it..... my particular machine hates boning though, heh.
Oh man..... threading yours is slightly easier than threading the one I use. There's another little disk thing on the front of mine.
Also, my machine is nowhere near as fast as you set yours! I'd ruin so much product going that fast!
Yo, what’s on your nails? Random design, Morse code? Something fandom based? Just curious. 😂
There are quite a few videos where people add little motors to the 100 dollar machine.
Cool vid.
Really cool, but it takes away the personal handmade touch I desire in the things I make.
Yeah, I kind of like the idea that if I'm making some sort of medieval garb, that I should be doing it by hand (or hand crank) to be more realistic.
I appreciate the review but I'd in future reviews it would be helpful to know the MSRP of the item/tool. You mentioned your $100 machine but never said the price of this machine.
$1,600
