dfrensdorff Report post Posted January 21, 2016 I have bought the premium veg tan double shoulder tooling and was very happy with it......sorry but can't say for the Herman Oak.......they were very easy to deal with for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Cent Report post Posted January 23, 2016 Welllll............ I have dealt with the Hide House twice. First and last. First time quite some time ago. Owner lost my order and when I called, they quoted some prices. Charged more in shipping and different weights of leather than ordered. Just a couple of weeks back, I ordered two of their "premium" sides. One in 8-9 and one in 5-6. 8-9 side runs different weight from back to belly. Both sides have holes in them. So much for "premium" sides. The 8-9 has "fuzzy back" that needs to be removed with belt sander to glue properly. I use a masking tape to attach a pattern to hide while outlining the product. The masking tape removes the color. After dyeing a piece of leather and drying it, I used a stitch line creaser. The thin outer "skin" of the leather bunches up. When beveling, the same stretches and peels and my bevelers are sharp. What is the old saying? First time my fault. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NVLeatherWorx Report post Posted January 23, 2016 But were your problems with their H.O. line or something else Red Cent? I have used their H.O. frequently, as they are very convenient for me, and have had no issues but if there is anyone else who has used the H.O. (don't need to review the other grades/materials) then please say so. That is what craftsman827 is looking for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
