DOUBLETAP Report post Posted December 1, 2014 Hello all, I have been doing leather work for approximately 4 months...I'm making leather patch identifiers for our fire gear, as well as decorative helmet shields, intended to be keepsakes... I started by making something for myself and it just took off via word of mouth...anyway I am a Professional Fireman, and while I am staying busy with the patches and shields, I would love to get into other things. All in time I guess. I am currently working on a website which will probably be launched after the holiday...I am quickly finding out that I need to start a paypal account because receiving payment from outside my area is a little bit of a pain. Anyway, I look forward to learning from you all. Be safe. I'm trying to load pictures but it keeps saying my files are too big....will keep on it and load them in time.

DoubleC Report post Posted December 1, 2014 Hi Double. Use your picture program on your computer to make your images smaller, 600 x 800 seems to be a good size to upload. And a paypal account is easy to get, I've had one for years. And welcome. Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOUBLETAP Report post Posted December 14, 2014 Great thank you for the input Cheryl...I'll try to mess around with the picture sizes when I get a chance. I am definitely going to get a paypal account, will probably start using that whenever the website is up.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOUBLETAP Report post Posted January 6, 2015 I trust everyone had a good Christmas and New Year!!! I added a few pictures into my personal gallery under my profile...I ordered a burnishing attachment from my bench grinder so I'm looking forward to using that! Oh, and I managed to stand up the website and went with the recommended Pay-pal option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
