NapervilleCobbler

I am in Naperville - if anyone wants to contact/email the old members and come up with meeting place that suits everyone (even a restaurant where we could grab a big table and a beer?) and just talk shop, ideas and latest trends. Just casual. My shop closes at 6pm so anytime after or on weekend afternoon/eves is also good. Thoughts?? Who in the forum actually does any sort of shoe repair? Thanks! BTW, many good thoughts going to the city of Boston and this horrendous tragedy.

Agree with both above - do all the dying first, then assembly

Have been in the industry with own shop for over 30 years and wondering if there are any leather worker groups that meet in Chicago area that would want to occasionally get together and talk shop and latest trends. Please let me know if there are any or if anyone in Chicago area is interested in starting one! Thanks!
