Hey I like the design. I'm procrastinating making one still. I like the felt idea and using the old wood clamp is pretty clever.

Since your still in the design phase, might I suggest putting windows facing south to capture the solar heat. My father had a shop and he heated it with a propane furnace. Heated up quickly. If you're going timberframe, get a ceiling fan to direct the warm air back down.

Very nice work.

I've been buying and selling on Ebay for a few years now and have my share of idiots. I've been scammed a few times. When I sell an item, I always ask for delivery confirmation. There are always those who are selling the same thing which will try to make your's look bad. Not much you can do. Best thing is to encourage questions and answer them pronto. I was interested in buying a new set of saddle bags and asked the seller where they were made (I wanted USA made). No response so I didn't bid. Still looking. Don't give up on it. Honest people will get negative f/b. Smart buyers will check the f/b to see who left what comment. I usually check the negative feedback person just to see if they are just miserable people and leave it for everyone.

Nice work. That's how you build a reputation. When someone needs a unique item, you'll be the first they think of and refer you.

Wow! Really nice job. I would like to make a laptop/saddlebag case in the future. Nothing on the market is big enough and padded on the inside. Your pictures/description give me some ideas what to look out for. Really nice job.

Hi everyone, I'm the newbie that just signed up. About 4 years ago, a kind man sold me his leathercraft tools, etc along with an almost complete collection of The Leathercraftsman & The Craftsman. I found them very interesting and useful for tips and tricks. I got a good chuckle from the older advertisements not to mention the prices 50 years ago! I was going to put them on Ebay, but after reading some of the comments here, I think I'll search for a library. I didn't think these old magazines would appreciate in value so much.

Bonjour/hello everyone, I'm a newbie from St Lazare qc, canada. I just found this site and was trolling a few days before joining. I've been involved in leathercraft for a few years now. I was fortunate to find a person who sold me his tools, scraps and magazines to get me going. I hope to have a great hobby and keep the craft alive. Cheers Steve
