pete Report post Posted December 4, 2008 Verlane showed a really nice slicker. It was, I believe, 1/4" plexiglass roughly 4hx6w and a neat pvc handle. I have NO tools here other than a small dremel and a B&D drill. Would one of you like to make one for me? I will be glad to pay what you think that it is worth including shipping. Any takers????? pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawhide Report post Posted December 4, 2008 I'd call Barry King. His are the best. I think I paid 35 bucks for mine. It's got a "purdy" wood handle and 3/8" thick glass, nicely rounded. Barry King website 307.672.5657 phone I don't think his webpage has the slicker listed yet, but just call and ask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a wonderful group we have here. I just received an email from one of the members who asked for my address and he would make one for free. I insisted on paying/trading but he said that it would be enough to send him the first "slicked" piece that I made- no matter what. I was thinking this afternoon about how blessed we are- regardless of our origin, financial status, living situation, etc, EVERYONE here is a very special person. Think about it. We have a hobby/profession in the arts. That excludes millions upon millions of people who love creating, designing, working with their hands, using their minds, satisfying an impulse to CREATE! I have a feeling, (and have witnessed over and over) the care and attitude of the worldwide members here. Someone is sick, needs a hand, needs money, just wants to vent or reach out and in minutes the forum is filled with caring, concerned people FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.-people whom we will NEVER MEET! Birthdays, folks passing, children hurt, you name it and we all respond. This is truly a family of like minded artisans and I am so grateful to be a part of and accepted by you. May God continue to bless all of you and keep you well this Christmas season.....and on. Pete adams and family. Edited December 4, 2008 by pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted December 5, 2008 Whaddaya mean never meet? My thoughts exactly. We've all met each other here. Though we may be thousands of miles apart, it is here that we gather as a family of friends. Ya know, I've NEVER EVER logged onto this forum and been the only member. It doesn't matter what time or day it is, there's always someone here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob21804 Report post Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) I absolutely agree about the great community of leatherworkers here. So many people have encourage me and helped me improve over the past few months. As I learn more and more, I hope to have the opportunity to return those gestures to others who follow. Edited May 5, 2016 by bob21804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted May 5, 2016 Hey, Pete, . . . don't forget to post up pics of the final product, . . . let us all see your "secret tool". Seriously though, . . . this is one of my favorite forums, . . . sometimes just get on here and read, . . . kind of like the old high school cafeteria where you could just go sit down, . . . and catch snippets of a half dozen conversations all at the same time. Those were fun times many moons ago, . . . but this forum, . . . in it's own way, . . . brings that back to life again. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
