We are starting to pack tools for our booth at the Pendleton Leather Show coming up at the end of next week. I have missed the last 2 shows because of work schedules but ready to be back this year! If you are in the northwest please check it out. I can make it worth the trip with just free rulers, stickers, and candy. Seeing tools, machines, leathers, and hardware is a bonus. Here is a link with more information - https://www.pendletonleathershow.com/ We hope to see some of you there!

Just got home from the show and I was pleased beyond my expectations. First off I ran into a few leather crafting celebrities. Aaron Heizer, of Maker's Leather Supply was there and we had a nice chat. Then I ran into Don Gonzales of DG Saddlery. Chuck Dorsett from Weaver was not there this year - that would have made my hat trick of my most frequently viewed YouTube tutorial providers. I even recognized Chris "Slickbald" Andre from a Springfield Leather video. Turns out he was there teaching classes. I wasn't really expecting to purchase anything but still ended up going over budget. Next year, I'll be saving my money well in advance to take advantage of the price and s…

I thought I would start a discussion on the International Federation of Leather Guilds, what is it and what the IFOLG does.

During that competition a leather worker that belongs to a guild that is recognized by the IFOLG is eligible to enter leather pieces that will be judged. There a 4 main levels of competition, Open, Advanced, Master and Grand Master. In each level there are many classes that a person can enter, pictures, belts, wallets, purses, motorcycle gear and the list g…

I was due to Judge leather exhibits at a few metro shows south of Perth , Western Australia this year, only for the organiser to contact me to say , "there aren't any to Judge " * The same happened last year too. .It just left me wondering, why? Is it cost, loss of interest , a bit of both ? While there are some at our biggie, Perth Royal Show, where I've Judged before, , none at the smaller shows. In previous shows where I've Judged before, there was a good turn out of exhibits . Mostly quality work too...a few ' not so good' as well, but mostly quality . And I always try to give positive and/or encouraging comments on each exhibit , even on the not so goo…
