Well when I was selling car parts in the 60"s- a good cutomer- could not read the ruler. So I asked how many lines between the Numbers - he would cont them. Than I asked how many lines past the las bigist # he would say 3 or what ever. Depending on the first question I would kknow if it was !/8 or !/16 or !/32. The amazing thing is that he could read a nicrometer---- Soooooooooooo English is mt choice.

Kozy Almost Finished
Stewart posted a topic in Purses, Wallets, Belts and Miscellaneous Pocket Items
Well i have almost finished this. Still need to do background. I have found that some types of images I have a easer time with. Animals is still hard to even get past the child stage. Anyway,as you all know-it feels good taking a blank section of leather and turning into something that makes you feel good however it turns out. Well the next thing is coasters with Fla Gator theme for sister than a belt for my buddy thats going to ne a rattlesnake image on the whole belt. Thanks for reading. Joe St

Than went over the lines on leather with swivel knife. Bamm !!! to me looks good. completes the theme of project. will show later.

That depends on where you live ( jole-jowel-jol Jo-ell) I tried using Joseph ( middle name) but deing delexit (SP) could not spell right 1/2 time. Thank godness for drivers licenes. Well I did have one customer where i work that refused to call me Joe-Joel or joseph. He called me Tom. Said i looked like A Tom-talked like a Tom. when i answered the phones and said This is joe, he would say Tom, I need a warer hose clamp for a volkswagon. JJS

Hi Dolphini, My mother did her own frames and its a pain. Its like put molding up in corners You should b eable to get help from a store like Michaels (sp). Also check out some artist theamed stores. If customer service is still alive,they may help you learn or for a fee frame it themselves. pro framing shops may get expensive so I would Stick to the hobby shops There is internet search if all fails.
