Hey Guys, I', doing some preliminary research into starting a small scale meat-rabbit farm. When considering which species or cross-breed to work with we have discussed several aspects, but one I really wanted your opinions on was which species of rabbit produces the best leather and fur. Do the men and women here that have worked with rabbit fur have any input on what they want, or what they don't want in leather and fur?

I know this sounds odd coming from someone with no horse, and little leather. I am interested in what measurments are taken when fitting saddle to horse. I ask because I write and draw fantasy and I need to design a saddle for something that is not a horse. I assume there are some measurements taken, are saddles made by many specifications, or are there just numbers like shoe sizes. Any help or likes you guys can provide would be wonderful.

Yes, I have been quite busy lately. The real world has me memorizing Solubility Rules and writing essays. I also received Assassin's Creed 2 from Gamefly a week ago and I've spent a lot of free time with it. I am actualy working on a design for a key-wallet (Tandy's kit). I'm afraid to mess it up because it was a gift and I'd like to do it well. Thanks for the help on the brand. I'll look into these companies I probably won't buy anything for a while, but I'd like to go ahead and find something.

I know this sounds odd, but you are the group of people I thought to ask. I am looking for a maker stamp (well sorta) for soap and chockolate. I am looking for someone that makes custom brands (yes like cattle brands). I want one for handmade soaps and chocolates. It would need to be about a fourth inch deep, and about 2" by 3". Where should I look.

Hey man, I received the letters. Thanks a bunch. M and U down. Still need A G and O two of which are in my name so I need them. I also have an extra N still.

I love the idea. Even if you don't "need" to wear one for any serious reason I think you'd still find a nitch with bikers that would like having that information handy anywhere they happened to be riding. I know I want to make one now.

I am confused. What does the slit in the head of the thinner portion of the strap do? I thought that could just be threaded through the slits to be made adjustable. Could I see a photo of the workings of the strap please? How it is attached and adjusted.

Those are needed. I get paid on Friday. Will the offer keep 'till then?

I don't see the point in buying the guitar strap kit from Tandy when what it costs could potently buy me a strap cutter so I could make as many as I wanted. I have created a quick paint sketch of how I think a guitar strap should/could work. Please tell me if this is how it's done. I've looked at Tandy's and a few others and I think this is how it works. I have a belt with loops to slide an extender through, and a hole/snap on one side to connect to guitar. The bottom thing is a strap that fits through the loops at the desired length. This has a loop/snap to attach to guitar. The top of that T shape keeps it from sliding through the loop. I figured I would attach a metal bar of some kind to that to keep it from tearing. Thanks for your help. DaCoda

Hello all, I am looking for some basic patterns and my mother has three generations of sewing patterns gathering dust. If I find a few bag patterns in there what would I need to do to adjust them to the thicker leather? I could probably stitch them the same with some work, but I want to know what I should do to adjust for the thickness and sometimes stiff nature of leather.

While i agree that searches can answer a lot of questions for a novice on most forums. As a person who adopts a new hobby every six moths or so I'm used to being a novice. However, I went through five pages searching for "making+mallet" and found nothing, just as I looked for "clutch+purse+pattern" and didn't find one. Some things are just difficult to find. This site's wealth of knowledge works against a new member looking for information because there is so much to fish through. Type in something and you find a lot that is irrelevant. I agree that all should search, but I think that a fair amount of repeated questions are to be expected.
