This machine is worth every penny. It is robust and easy to use. I am a first time machine owner and I have sewn several thicknesses of leather and some canvas with no problems at all. Many thanks to Chuck for his excellent video tutorials. Ron
Hi Chuck Nice talking to you the other day. As a new owner of the Cub sewing machine I would like to see you demo common problems and fixes. I think that this will help new owners and possibly help future owners by eliminating concerns over buying an unfamiliar machine. I have worked my way through several issues by trial and error including thread tension , lubrication and broken needles. I love this machine and having fun with it. There are several TH-cam videos online but none cover these issues. Keep your videos coming. Ron in SC
I have had mine for several months and am quite pleased that you have finally released this video which should be included with the machine, in my humble opinion. It is stone cold simple but it needs lubrication before trying to operate it. Just refer to the owners manual. Also, I prefer extreme pressure Molybdenum grease because it is almost completely impervious to heat and moisture. I also use graphite oil for locks etc. on the sticky pieces such as at the top of the needle bar. Mine was having problems with the Jump foot bar sticking on the top of the presser foot bar. Moly grease combined with graphite oil finally eliminated that problem eventually. The extreme pressure moly grease can be obtained at any auto parts store.
I sure wish that you had this video available several months ago when I 1st took delivery of mine. Nice clear instructional video. I would like to see the thinnest leather that you feel comfortable sewing.
Also the Weaver leather service department is 2nd to none. Thoroughly courteous and professional and fast. Thanks again for another great video. I enjoyed it.
I have my old singer 66. Which has proven very worthy but I will eventually be in the market for a new one. Gets me excited watching these videos! Thanks for the content Weaver and Chuck :)
Easy to see details & zoom utilized, but not overused make this video easy to follow. No wasted frames (useless small talk, showing the complete bobbin-winding, etc.) make it easy to watch in its entirety. At the end, I thought I had just watched a 3 minute video. Camera angle & transitions go unnoticed, as they should. A great video to increase sales of a machine that sells itself defines a winning combination. My hats (currently handstitched) could be completed at a rate of 4:1, and with better-looking stitches. I've got to have a Cub.
hey Chuck, thank you for another great video! Production quality is great, sound is crisp and not stomped by thumping music! I just started in leather crafting and your videos are a great source of knowledge and inspiration! Have you thought about doing a series on armor? The suit you've shown before is spectacular, would love to see something like that being built, or insights on how to design a set. Cheers!
I like the portability, I like the huge bobbin, the huge wheel to crank, but consider it highly irritating, that you need an additional drill to wind the bobbin. A machine in this price range should offer an opportunity to wind the bobbin with the machine itself. I will stick to my 100 year old Adler 30-7 which indeed is not portable at all and the bobbin is smaller, but she is a brilliant tank of a machine. Good luck to your company, regards from Germany, Europe.
I bought a Tippman Boss from my local Tandy store about four years ago. I had nothing but problems with it. The store didn’t help me much, and Tippman tried to diagnose it over the phone & sent me some parts to replace. I thought I had it going when the bobbing failed to catch the thread, and really screwed up my project. I became gun shy about using it, and didn’t want to ruin any projects, so I am still hand sewing everything I make, and the Boss just takes up bench space gathering dust. I would really like to get a machine to sew with, maybe electric, but cost is too high. This looks simple, but again I’m pretty gun shy about screwing something up...:(
Very good job on the video! I have a question, I was watching another review on the same machine and the guy looked like he was struggling to turn the hand crank when he was sewing. Could he have had the tension to tight? I’m wanting to buy one but after watching him I don’t want to have to struggle like he was.
Just want yo explain something for the "its so expendive group"...I just started looking for a machine about two weeks ago so prior to that i was right there with you...after hours of research what i've found is that if youvwant a triple feed cylinder arm machine (no not the chinese shoe patcher it is a single needle feed) its going to be wayyy highervthan this .. what makes them expensive is the mechanics indide the machine not the fact thst they're electric...this machine has the same mechanics....the servo motors those nachines run off of can be found for under 200 dollars...so subtract the motor for a 3000 electric mschine and uts still 2800 dollars...full disclaimer the cub is still outside my pricerange but its definitely worth the cost.
They need to clarify this on their video, not doing so Is terrible for their sales. If I had know what you just said I would buy one, being a good deal
Is the stitch length knob a positive click or is it by guess and by god on a piece of scrap to figure out your stitch length? Any one who point out the Tippman Boss as a better value option has obviously never used one. They are junk, unless you need a boat anchor.
It looks like the same guess-your-stitch as the Tippman.. In fact the bobbin, and shuttle looks to be exactly the same set of parts as the Tippman.. This machine looks to be the same type of needle-fed drive as the Tippman, just built with a much better casting, a much simplified mechanism with a flywheel instead of a pull handle.. Not worth $1650 though, as an entry-level industrial can be had for about $500 new or even cheaper used (I would suggest going up a tier and getting one with a servomotor instead of the typical universal motor though). A Tippman is not the greatest machine, but with a bit of tuning, is not that bad either.. I have 5 machines in my shop, two of them are industrial machines including an ancient Puritan that is actually rated to stitch over an inch and a quarter of leather and also things like up to 1/8" aluminum, but I also have a Tippman and one of those Chinese patchers that you can get for just over $100, and again, with some cleaning, polishing and tuning, these lower end machines work just fine and I still use them a lot for quick repairs and small projects where the manual stitch action is just easier and more precise, or where the free arm allows you to get the part in close and do some stitching repairs in-place and not have to disassemble the item first..
It is a guess. It is a tension screw so it increases or decreases based on how many turns not where on the dial. I have run through the range on the screw to get an idea of where the lengths are, but you will still need to test on scrap to be sure. I’m creating a turn to length guide to help me.

Hey Chuck....being my go to resource for all things leather, is it possible for you to make a video about installing an invisible magnetic closure in a lined project? I am looking to create a small 6 ring notebook with a lining that also has a skived cardboard stiffener to give it a finished, professional look. The ones you can buy are the "Genuine Leather" and fall apart in a couple of years.
Im sure this isn't cheap (most of the Master Tools aren't) but when i get to the point in leather crafting that I can justify the purchase il be getting one.
I started reading these “Comments” in hopes of learning something about the machine. All I am reading is a bunch of cheap people wanting something for nothing. Get over it people. Get a job, save your money and either buy one or don’t. I have researched leather sewing machines until I’m blue in the face. You will NOT find a motorized machine of any quality, that will sew 3/4 inch of leather for under $3000. So, since all the cry babies have cried over the price, is the anyone who owns one that can comment on how it works and if they are happy with it. That would be greatly appreciated.

Great videos all ! Is it possible to make screen accurate replicas of leather accoutrements as seen in motion pictures such as belts , wrist braces etc ? You are my leather work instructor . Keep 'em coming !!
I was thinking about buying leather and other original style materials to redo my classic jaguar. With me doing the labor, I could save about 50%. Then I came to this site and heard the absurd price for even a hand operated machine ( which requires one hand off the material). Time to reconsider, especially for a one-time project. Thanks for the eye-opening info.
Sir great video as usual. As you have vast experience in Leather Field, kindly let me know which type of thread is best for leather belt hand stitching; Polyester/Flax Linen/Hemp or Nylon? Regards.

Hi there, An all purpose machine grease is recommended for the Cub, something like this: www.harborfreight.com/14-oz-sta-plex-extreme-pressure-premium-red-grease-40710.html
Someone really needs to find a more affordable sewing machine. I have over a thousand dollars in tools that I have bought in the last 20 years, but I have basically stopped doing any projects that require sewing just simply because I don't have the time to do it by hand and I can't afford nor justify spending that much money on a machine. If I could find an affordable sewing machine, I would buy a lot more leather. I have a laundry list of repairs I need to do and things I want to make.
Look at the shoe patching or cobbler machines that are hand cranked. The are between $95 - $149, depending on Amazon or eBay sellers. Needs some assembly and small learning curve, but there are dozens of videos on them. I have one & enjoy it. Check out *Mainley Acres* and his TH-cam channel.
SEWING, IN GENERAL, NEEDS TO GET LETS COMPLICATED OR RE-ENGINEERED BY AN INVENTOR. I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THREADING AND BOBBINS; YET, MAINTAIN A RELIABLY SIMPLE METHOD OF MENDING OR ATTACHING FABRICS OR FIBERS. 🤓🤔
Used machines are perfect, I feel you though. I hate hand stitching despite it being easy. But as a hobbyist who has the money required to get a good machine? Ive seen some at good will, and savers but rarely in useable condition
@@garetkonigsfeld2I used that check on dogicon and lost everything..... when I sold I took the loss and bought platinum metal, only to have it tank 😢 Then I bought palidium and it taken even more. Now I'm at $200 from my starting $2,000 lol ..... I should have bought the master tool!!!!! Dam it. At least if your going to waste your money, waste it on something pretty that can make money and hold its value.

Hello there, I bought this Cub Sewing Machine recently, made a few stitches, to adjust it. Then the thread got tangled, I loosened two screws and pulled it out. Then the machine sewed a few more stitches and the machine stopped picking up the bobbin thread. When the shuttle cover is open, you can see that the needle feeds the thread forward towards the hook, then there is a click, the needle with the thread goes up and the shuttle hook does not have time to grab the upper thread near the needle. Who can help? Thanks in advance.
Looks like a nice machine but the price point immediately turns me off. Its not much less expensive than a motorized machine with similar capabilities and motorized lets me keep two hands on my work piece. Is there something I'm missing that this machine does that a similarly capable motorized will not do? If the answer is no then I suggest Weaver reevaluate their pricing. It looks like a lot of comments are similar.
I'm always astonished at how very expensive these machines are. I really want a sewing machine for my work. It would really save me time on a lot projects, thus letting me earn money faster. However, only about half of the sewing I do could actually be done on a machine. The rest is just too small, too tight, or complex curves. In short, if I already had one, it would be worth the cost - but the barrier to entry is just way too high
on amazon you can find hand-crank cheapo leather sawing machines for around 100, you could try one of those, at least you would have wasted only 100 not 1600.
@@AndreaFromTokyo yeah, might be worth it to try. I just wish that quality and fair price would actually intersect. I would buy this machine here for $400-600 in a heartbeat. But when I can get an equally reliable motorized machine for the same price as this??? Nah
@@CalebTWilliams search for sewingmachineplus or leathermachineco Sorry i can't directly link it to you or yt would block the reply. i'm not affiliated in any way, i just made a quick search
Beautiful little machine. I am really thinking about getting one and have it in my basket as we speak. Looking past the negative responses, it seems to be an 'on line' phenom now days. Sad the way some just hang out on a post to fill their empty time??? A unique idea, spend some time playing with the machine as a stitch 'hole puncher' to work your way into machine sewing. I know it is early for my question BUT have any accessories been considered yet?
Hi Samuel, We are the manufacturer of this machine and it can be purchased directly from us. We are located in the USA but we do ship worldwide. You can purchase via the link below. www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/cp_/shop-now/machinery/master-tools/cub-manual-sewing-machine
Hi there, you can check out the price and details here: www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/master-tool-cub-manual-leather-sewing-machine-aluminum This does ship free within the contiguous US.
As long as the leather is at least 1/8" thick or heavier it should work. You will need to play with the tension a little bit but once you have that set, you should be good.
Yes, we can deliver to Japan. We ship worldwide! You can purchase it at the link following... www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/master-tool-cub-manual-leather-sewing-machine?_pos=2&_sid=3acc72ca0&_ss=r
Another fantastic piece of kit. I'd love to be able to afford one of these in my shop to go along with my Mighty Wonder 4-ton clicker press. It would certainly make my life easier and I know that my fingertips would love a break from handstitching.
Hi there! We will link it here for you. It is good for bags if you are using 5 oz. or heavier leather. www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/master-tool-cub-manual-leather-sewing-machine-aluminum

OMG! If you think those Chinese shoe patchers are even in remotely the same ballpark then God help you. Have you even compared specifications? Do you realize the difference between foot feed and needle feed? Do you realize the max thread size on those shoe patchers is #92 to #138 at most? Do some more research. I have a Singer 29k patcher (which is 10x nicer than the Chinese knock offs) AND a motorized Class 4 machine that cost DOUBLE the price of the "Cub".
@@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs if you read my question carefully you will see that I'm NOT comparing this fantastic machine to Chinese Street rubbish machines. I'm asking for an ability, nothing else. And someone with better anger management than you already gave me the answer: it can not backstitch! Good for you that you are blessed with money for such expensive tools and that it make you think you are the hero of the chat, but your life situation wasn't a question here! And no, foot and feed isn't something I use, at my place we stick to the metric system!

Hi Chuck
Nice talking to you the other day. As a new owner of the Cub sewing machine I would like to see you demo common problems and fixes. I think that this will help new owners and possibly help future owners by eliminating concerns over buying an unfamiliar machine. I have worked my way through several issues by trial and error including thread tension , lubrication and broken needles. I love this machine and having fun with it. There are several TH-cam videos online but none cover these issues. Keep your videos coming.

I love this guy! He’s such a great teacher and love his enthusiasm, and especially all the advice and tips he offers.
I have had mine for several months and am quite pleased that you have finally released this video which should be included with the machine, in my humble opinion. It is stone cold simple but it needs lubrication before trying to operate it. Just refer to the owners manual. Also, I prefer extreme pressure Molybdenum grease because it is almost completely impervious to heat and moisture. I also use graphite oil for locks etc. on the sticky pieces such as at the top of the needle bar. Mine was having problems with the Jump foot bar sticking on the top of the presser foot bar. Moly grease combined with graphite oil finally eliminated that problem eventually. The extreme pressure moly grease can be obtained at any auto parts store.
Whats the name of this machine pls
I sure wish that you had this video available several months ago when I 1st took delivery of mine. Nice clear instructional video. I would like to see the thinnest leather that you feel comfortable sewing.

Easy to see details & zoom utilized, but not overused make this video easy to follow. No wasted frames (useless small talk, showing the complete bobbin-winding, etc.) make it easy to watch in its entirety. At the end, I thought I had just watched a 3 minute video. Camera angle & transitions go unnoticed, as they should. A great video to increase sales of a machine that sells itself defines a winning combination.
My hats (currently handstitched) could be completed at a rate of 4:1, and with better-looking stitches.

@@garetkonigsfeld2I used that check on dogicon and lost everything..... when I sold I took the loss and bought platinum metal, only to have it tank 😢
Then I bought palidium and it taken even more.
Now I'm at $200 from my starting $2,000 lol
..... I should have bought the master tool!!!!! Dam it. At least if your going to waste your money, waste it on something pretty that can make money and hold its value.

Hello there, I bought this Cub Sewing Machine recently, made a few stitches, to adjust it. Then the thread got tangled, I loosened two screws and pulled it out.
Then the machine sewed a few more stitches and the machine stopped picking up the bobbin thread. When the shuttle cover is open, you can see that the needle feeds the thread forward towards the hook, then there is a click, the needle with the thread goes up and the shuttle hook does not have time to grab the upper thread near the needle.
Who can help?
Thanks in advance.
The Gunny of leatherwork.
When this machine is going to be available again?
Hi. Can a 1mm thick thread be sewn with this machine? Do you ship to Poland?
This machine accommodates thread up to size 346, which is 0.655 mm thick. We do ship to Poland!
What's the price? Need info , I need one.
Looks like a nice machine but the price point immediately turns me off. Its not much less expensive than a motorized machine with similar capabilities and motorized lets me keep two hands on my work piece. Is there something I'm missing that this machine does that a similarly capable motorized will not do? If the answer is no then I suggest Weaver reevaluate their pricing. It looks like a lot of comments are similar.
Check out the Chinese one for 100 dollars
love this man
I'm always astonished at how very expensive these machines are. I really want a sewing machine for my work. It would really save me time on a lot projects, thus letting me earn money faster. However, only about half of the sewing I do could actually be done on a machine. The rest is just too small, too tight, or complex curves. In short, if I already had one, it would be worth the cost - but the barrier to entry is just way too high
on amazon you can find hand-crank cheapo leather sawing machines for around 100, you could try one of those, at least you would have wasted only 100 not 1600.
@@AndreaFromTokyo yeah, might be worth it to try.
I just wish that quality and fair price would actually intersect. I would buy this machine here for $400-600 in a heartbeat. But when I can get an equally reliable motorized machine for the same price as this??? Nah
@@CalebTWilliams are you from us?
Yeah
@@CalebTWilliams search for sewingmachineplus or leathermachineco
Sorry i can't directly link it to you or yt would block the reply. i'm not affiliated in any way, i just made a quick search
this looks sound. I tried to visit your website but had no luck, doesn't seem to work for me!
Just curious what size thread and needle is being used in this video!
Beautiful little machine. I am really thinking about getting one and have it in my basket as we speak. Looking past the negative responses, it seems to be an 'on line' phenom now days. Sad the way some just hang out on a post to fill their empty time??? A unique idea, spend some time playing with the machine as a stitch 'hole puncher' to work your way into machine sewing. I know it is early for my question BUT have any accessories been considered yet?
Hi there!
We have not added any accessories yet, but, we are always open to suggestions so feel free to send them our way!

How is it on goat hide leather for making coats?
As long as the leather is at least 1/8" thick or heavier it should work. You will need to play with the tension a little bit but once you have that set, you should be good.

Another fantastic piece of kit. I'd love to be able to afford one of these in my shop to go along with my Mighty Wonder 4-ton clicker press. It would certainly make my life easier and I know that my fingertips would love a break from handstitching.

WOW...VERY COOL...THAT'S A BEAST.....
you should do a comparison against the tippman
If it smells like quality leather it probably is 😮😊
Here's a question for you can that machine use artificial sinew to sew with
Please Can it be used to see shoes and bags?

I want this master-tool but 4 real a bit expensive!!!!
Harga nya berapa, mesinnya beli dimana?
What a nice looking machine and what a ridiculous price...
Can the sewing head turn 360 degree like the Chinese shoe patchers?
it can't even do a backstitch...
@@AndreaFromTokyo ah, well, somehow disappointing at this price...
OMG! If you think those Chinese shoe patchers are even in remotely the same ballpark then God help you. Have you even compared specifications? Do you realize the difference between foot feed and needle feed? Do you realize the max thread size on those shoe patchers is #92 to #138 at most? Do some more research. I have a Singer 29k patcher (which is 10x nicer than the Chinese knock offs) AND a motorized Class 4 machine that cost DOUBLE the price of the "Cub".
@@jeffallen3382 Thank you.
@@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs if you read my question carefully you will see that I'm NOT comparing this fantastic machine to Chinese Street rubbish machines. I'm asking for an ability, nothing else. And someone with better anger management than you already gave me the answer: it can not backstitch!
Good for you that you are blessed with money for such expensive tools and that it make you think you are the hero of the chat, but your life situation wasn't a question here!
And no, foot and feed isn't something I use, at my place we stick to the metric system!
How much and where we can buy it ? Thanks.
