  1. Also you gotta keep in mind what if they do want 100 more. Are you willing to do 100 more at that cost. I say always go high. No one is going to fight you over a price being lowered but, try to raise your price and see what happens. I've charged prices that people thought i was crazy to charge. If they don't like it then i tell'em thanks and walk away. 9 out of 10 times i'm stopped and asked how long does it take to make. Then they start to understand the price. Remember they don't work for free and neither do you ! Then again i might be slow also. LOL !!

    Welcome to our madness Brian. We're glad you found us. I haven't been dong this to long but long enough to know i can still throw down some total destruction on a piece of leather. It seems i learn something new on this board ever time i log in. So don't EVER hesitate to ask a question !!!
  9. first off thanks for the leather porn... I've never made any bags so i'm no help there but it looks great to me.
  10. Very freakin cool. It's a little dark on my screen here. Is it all leather or is most of it wood that's covered w/leather? Would you be willing to share some measurements or say a pattern or what not. I love the idea and even though i don't smoke anymore i want one.
  11. ha ha ! Happy B-day old man.. Wishing you all the best !!!
  12. Grumpy i get them at NorthernTool . I can't seem to find them on there site but they're there somewhere. You can also get them online at magnetsource.com I use the small ones # 07045. They are just smaller then a pencil eraser. I super glue it to the flap over part.
  13. that's the one. Thank you very much
  14. Looks great man. sidenote: i've been using very small super strong magnets. One on the strap over and then a cap rivet on the case or i glue a small washer inside the case . Then cover it with lining and for lining on phone cased i use the stick on felt stuff from HomeD or Lowe's. They call it Felt Gard .
  15. I don't know but, , , i bet it freakin smells good. mmmmmmmm leather !!
  16. I can't remember who it was but, someone posted a oakleaf pattern they drew. they posted it during the contest. If the person that did it or anyone who has it, can you please post it. I think it is just what i'm looking for on the project i'm trying to draw up. Thanks !!! Or you know what, if anyone whats to share there pattern that would rock !!
  17. Great set for a great cause !!! My hat off to you sir. Now back on real fast as my head gets cold. I really like your work . Your sets have that true " keepin it real " feel with a touch of of of heck i can't think of the word i'm looking for. They have that kind of commercial touch. Not like sold out commercial look but like industrial tuff look, That's it INDUSTRIAL tuff look. And I freakin like'em !!!

  19. Very nice man. I'm really diggin the skull snaps and i truly love the nice blue linning. The black w/orang thread make the blue lining really stick out yet the blue make the black w/orange thread stick out. hmmm. Nice touch.
  20. Oh one more thing , If you saw the video i linked. My Mom gave me one of those music cards for my b-day last Nov that was a Eastwood one with the theme song. Funny how life works. So i stopped today and picked up one of those cards . Cut the little music board out and just sled it in under the two pockets. Works great and he can take it out when and if it gets old.
  21. In the series he uses a Colt 1851 navy-revolver and that what i used. It was converted to cartage, although they never show Blondie being converted. Thanks ! Well it was a hit or miss and i got lucky and hit. I've been playing with the new eco-flo line for some time now. So here goes : I dyed the outer border with Java Br. , the rope Ranger Tan. Then i sealed it with there Super Shene. Which i applied with a DRY sponge. I would hold the sponge over the top of the bottle and shake it up one time. Just enough to get some on the sponge. Then go over the leather but, not all of the leather. I missed a few spots her and there but i made sure i got a good cover over the tooled areas. Once that dried i buffed and then added a good thick coat of the eco-flo antque gel MED Brown. Which i applied with a dry white shirt and wiped off with paper towels. Once that was dry i sealed it with the super shene again. This time dabbing the sponge instead of wiping it across. Then buffed and buffed. Then i added a coat of fiebing's Leatehr Balm w/atom wax, buffed . Then a coat of Tan-kote and buffed. The inside was just the Java Br then used a stitch grover and then finished the same way as the rest. I'm terrible and writing out instructions , i hope you can follow that.
  22. I sure hope so , cause i can't do any flowers or scrolls worth a carp !! Nope sorry, They want let me in. They said it's because i tool naked but i know it's cause i can't do flowers and scrolls. I'll guess though i need to join one cause i'm throwing some stuff in the next show !! Ya Heard !!
