I have been doing business with Steve since I started my shop and he is by far the best and most knowledgeable in his field. I would venture to say that this Company will go far with him at the helm and it's products reflect a passion for the leather craft and the industry as a whole.

Steve is a real nice guy. He read on the Leatherworker.net forum where I was having trouble with my Artisan Toro 3000 and offered to adjust it for free. Long story short, I was able to meet him with my machine and he adjusted it for nothing and shipped it back to me. This was on a machine that wasn't even one of his! Who else in this business would offer to do that?
Thanks again Steve, Richard |

Dear Steve & David,
Our first product from your company was the COBRA Sewing Machine. It is absolutely top quality and fits in perfectly with our production line. The high quality of the stitch, sturdy build, and reliability are unmatched. When it was time to look for a new Finisher we knew we had to come to you first. The finisher that you sent us has been great. In our day to day work we use the finisher to make our top quality products even better and the process is made easier and more convenient having so many different options at our finger tips. Whether it is the sander or the buffer, it works without a hitch and does exactly what we need to finish the edges of our holsters and other products with such a precise and smooth finish. We never knew what we were missing until it was delivered. Thank you for your fine products, great customer service, and speedy delivery.
Sincerely,
David Johnston

Steve, I wanted to take a miniute to say Thank You for all the help with the Cobra Class 4 machine. It does about everything I need it to do at our repair shop here in Junction City Oregon. We repair lots of different items and the Cobra Class 4 handles every job excellently. Can't say enough about it! Thanks again Steve! |

I've had my Cobra 4 for almost a year now and just wanted to drop a note to say Steve's customer service is top notch. This is my first machine so I naturally had some questions and Steve really knows his products. My Cobra 4 makes beautiful stitches on any weight leather I run through it. Not only is this a great machine you can't find better customer service than Steve's. If you should ever have a problem you can be assured your only a phone call away from Steve and he will have you going again. Thanks Steve for a first rate product and service. |

I have had my class4 for about 6 months now and could not be happier. I have been in the leather business for over 20 years and this is the nicest machine I have ever used. The best part is the service that has come with the machine. Steve has answered the phone every time I have called, and had the answer to my questions. Thanks again. |

I received my Cobra Class 4 about a week ago. It is an awesome machine! I need to do some minor tweaking to get it to sew what I want it to but I can already tell it will do what I want and more. Steve has been a big help and always answers when I call him. Thanks Steve! |

Just got the thread and needles. Thanks again. I told my wife that I have to admit, this is the best sewing machine I've ever used. I'm still getting used to it, but it does a great job and it shows in my products! |

I've been building saddles for over 50 years and have used every kind of heavy stitching machine available. The COBRA Class 4 is the best machine that I have used. It is so smooth, and very easy to use. It works very well in my saddle school, and I am going to purchase another one. |

It has been close to a year now that I have been sewing with my “Dream Machine” Cobra Class 4. All that I have had to do is change the thread when it runs out and a couple of needles that I bent trying to sew old saddle leather back together. I just wanted to say thanks I thought I would have had questions for you and problems to solve with the machine but I really don’t have any. Thanks again I would recommend this machine to anyone I am very pleased with its performance. |

Had my Cobra 4 for about a year now. I have other large machines, but this one is far and away my favorite -- it's my workhorse. VERY sensitive, stops on a dime, has NEVER jammed! Super control. Sews from extremely thin to extremely thick - never balked yet at anything I've asked it to do. I sew medium-weight chrome-tan handbags. I love this machine. |

Steve,
Here's a rough out wade saddle on a Keith Gertsch tree I just finished with my new Cobra Class 4. My machine is quiet, easy to run, makes a nice tight stitch, and doesn't miss stitches even when sewing the sheep skin onto the skirts. Great machine! J.D.

Just wanted to stop by and let everyone know that Steve and the Leather Machine Co. make a great machine! I got my Cobra Class 4 about a year ago. When I set it up I had a few problems operator error, I called Steve on his cell phone and he walked me though the issues and had me sewing great in no time. They offer great customer service and support. I have sewed everyting from saddle leather up to 3/4" all the way down to 2 oz pigskin lining. I have also sewed saddle pads and horse blankets. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking for a great sewing machine to buy a Cobra from the Leather Machine Co. If you have any questions or want to see the work that this machine can do visit www.chasbarker.com. Thanks Steve! |

I would like to tell anyone interested in buying a heavy duty sewing machine that you can't beat the Cobra machines or Steve and his crew for getting them setup properly. I bought a class 17 and a class 4 with EPS. I picked them up at the Leather Machine Co. in Ontario Calif. on Dec. 23rd. Steve spent some time going over them with me. His crew wrapped them, loaded them in my truck and even helped tie them down. I can't say enough good about their service. About the machines, they work great, I was making money from the first day. Anyone interested in a class 4 should get the EPS option. It makes the machine a one handed operation, very easy to learn and perfect one stitch at a time operation. They are built to last for years and will probably be working long after I'm gone. |

Well yesterday started out as a most beautiful day for me. The sun was sorta shining and I was having a successful day in the shop. I was sewing the yoke on the second leg of a pair of chinks. The Cobra 4 was purring away making some beautiful stitches. But, all of a sudden the machine made a noise like a plastic fan blade hitting something. The machine froze in place and I couldn't even force the pulley around by hand. This of course was a big cause for Disappointment and there was a black cloud growing over me like a bad omen.
So what do I do? I call Cobra Steve the wonder man!! I only live about 40 minutes from Steve's office/warehouse where he keeps all his working elves busy. Steve told me to bring the machine in and his Specialist would take a look at it. So this morning I took my machine in to be repaired.
I'd say that Specialist isn't the right word for the fine man that worked on my Cobra4.
He fixed my machine and explained that the insides needs oiling also, WITHOUT, making me feel like a total idiot. The Gentleman's name is Tony. I will forever think of him as a sewing machine mechanic hero!
Tony, gave my Cobra4 a complete inspection, fixed my machine and made it purr again all the while answering questions posed by me.
There is another gentleman at Steve's ' Leather Machine CO .' operations, His name is Tony also. This Tony is the one that puts the tables and motors together He lifted my machine out of my truck and Carried it to Tony's The sewing machine mechanic hero's table to be worked on. These machines weigh about 150lbs.!
These gentlemen apperared to be knee deep in other work when I got there, but they stopped what they were doing and went right to work on my machine.
Steve himself, greeted me as if I was a long lost old friend, instead of just another customer. That sure made me feel good.
I gotta say I went away with my head spinning from all the wonderful and complete service I received there at The Leather Machine Co. office/ warehouse!
What a great group of guys!
Thanks again, Steve, Tony, and Tony!!

I bought the machine with no experience about one year ago. The set up was easy and the machine was easy to use. Steve was excellent...for an older guy he loads the pickup very well. It was easy to put together easy to operate the instructions were excellent and almost one year to the date the machine has paid for itself.
Sometimes I have to refuse work because of time constraints. I've done everything from motorcycle seats to repairing saddles. Steve was excellent in giving me needles and thread of all sizes. In one year I've broke two needles. Other than that there have been no problems.
I encourage that if you are going to buy a machine you talk to Steve. He will solve a lot of your problems before you start. |

Called Steve last Monday morning and ordered a Cobra Class 4. 5 business days later it was delivered. Set up took 85 minutes from the time the machine was unpacked until I was stitching. Great machine, great service! Highly recommended. |

I had been sewing on an Adler 124 Flatbed machine. I started making chaps for a rodeo school. I decided it was time to upgrade my machine. After considering several different machines, I purchased a Cobra Class 4. I absolutely Love it!!. The machine sews beautifully and came with a variety of different presser feetsome I have not even had a chance to try out yet. I can sew heavy leather and then switch to light weight chap leather trim without having to adjust the tension on the machine. It helps to give a more professional finished look to leather projects. My decision to go with the Leather Machine Co's Cobra was based on customer service. When I first setup the machine, I had a couple of questions but they were quickly answered with a phone call. When you make this type of investment in your business, it is well worth a few extra dollars to know that you have someone who knows their product inside and out, and stands behind it. Steve and his crew are not finished when the check is in the bank, customer service follows and is just a phone call away!! Thanks Steve |
