There is a saddle makers estate sale coming up in Yarnell Arizona the last weekend of this month. They have 2 old saddle maker draw down? Stands, metal structure, carpeted and heavy. Anyone know what they might be worth paying for?
I have a cobra class 4 and am needing to sew some leather to some lightweight aluminum. Has anybody attempted this? I have sewn thru a hardboard/leather combination but I'm reluctant to try the aluminum panel......a couple of the finished panels on hardboard can be seen at www.stitchnwizard.com
Does anyone know how to get a listing on the directory page? Love this site, and would like to become more involved, but I haven't received a reply to my request for this in months. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

16 days ago I felt out-of-control and wanted to try and get a plan going with George. 16 days later I find out George has a new job, and I feel like I can't breathe. If I'm distracted I'm ok but when things quiet down and I have time to think my heart ends up in my throat blocking my air.
My hands shake, and my heart pounds and I can't breathe. I am truly lost now. Kevin gave me some great, not so much advice as just some shared wisdom. I want to be what he wants me to be, but I am so afraid.

I, Cicada Leather Company, launched a Kickstarter campaign! I am raising funds to upgrade my tools and purchase supplies which are made in America. My tools are old crappy craft tools and the quality of my tools definitely shows in my work. I want to improve the quality of my products and to do so I need some help.
I know we are all in the same boat, longing for tools that are out of our budget. But please help a girl out! Share this link in your facebook or twitter, or consider contributi
I feel so focused and on target and totally out-of-control and lost. I am doing things for the business in so many bits and pieces, I wonder that anything gets done. But then I'll take a day like a few days ago and upload absolutely every picture of every product to FB. Then the next day it's back to leather again. I want to do the same to Etsy but it will have to be at a time when I'm taking a day off, which has been 1 partial day after the debut when I did FB and finally I couldn't stand it an
I've always loved the smell of leather. Perhaps it has something to do with the leather jacket my father always wore when I was a child. But the scent evokes feelings of strength and caring.
My first leather tooling project was a pair of hidden message cuffs, I have a few pics in my gallery.
I admit to being intimidated by the leather blank! My design ended up being very simple and just a test of the materials for me, a familiarizing process.
Once completed, I had a list of things I had l

I KNOW the youth camp I'll be teaching at does not have any sort of proper pounding slab, because I saw kids pounding on picnic table tops in years past...
Tandy currently has both 12"x12" quartz slabs and 12"x12" granite slabs on sale for $27.99
Last night, while in that funny state between wake and sleep, I dreamed up a box-frame for it that could be filled with a few inches of sand or stone dust and then the slab set down into the frame.
I still can't get the idea of filling the box
Background;
For the past 3 years my family has been volunteering at a "faith based youth summer camp"Lakeshore UMA . We provide all the equipment, and run the archery range. (We are all NFAA / USA Archery coaches, and current or former State & Regional Champions. etc...) My wife was a school teacher and had summers off, my parent command allowed me to bank all my leave and use it to take every other week off during the summer. Now she has a better paying job but has to work summer
