  1. And mine, has been for about a month now, and it's not keeping track of how many times your profile has been viewed. Ken
  2. Double WOW, that is amazing work. Thanks for sharing the site with us Leatheroo. Ken
  3. Nice looking seat Roger. I'm sorry to here about the slowdown in business, up here it seems like it's picked up a bit, but mostly with orders going down to the US. Let's hope it picks up again real soon. Ken
  4. Well due to all the sub-prime mortgages down in the Us, and a whole lot of other things going on in the world today, it works out to $400.80 US at todays exchange rate. The Canadian dollar has NEVER EVER traded this high before. It works great for me, but is a real bad thing for others that rely on exporting goods to the US. Ken
  5. Well that's just way too cool Azmal, I really like the Python inlay, adds a real dragon scale look to it. Very nice. Ken
  6. Very beautiful country your in out there, and nice that your just off the Coquihalla. Just a hop skip and jump to the big city. Ken
  7. Billy, I just took an order from a person in California to recover a brand new 21 x 12 Corbin solo seat. It will have just a minimal Celtic knot and a small tribal, like a tattoo in the rise at the back of the seat. My price for this is $365.00 Canadian Dollars. This would be more if there was going to be more carving on it. Ken
  8. Andy, tell your aprentice he did a great job. Very nice clean looking saddle. Where abouts in souther BC are you guys? Ken
  9. Welcome to the forum Ryan. That's some beautiful work you've done there, saddle makers just impress the hell out of me with all the detailed carving and work that goes into one. I really like the Ostrich seat, nust wonder what it does to the old derier after a days ride. Ken
  10. If your in a pinch, you can always take the blade out of a "Bic" disposable razor. They will work for one or two times. Ken
  11. Welcome and good to have you here Bonnie. You should be able to pick up lots of pionters here, everyone is very friendly and always helpful. Ken
  12. Curt, thats very nice looking. I used to do piontalism portrats of peoples pets, and I know how long it takes to do something like that. Very Nice... Ken
  13. Well I'm glad my website came in handy for you, I'll look forward to seeing some more of your work. Ken
  14. Go2Tex, what I do is place the tip of my thumb right up against the roo hide as it enters the cutter. By adjusting the pressure on the roo as it enters, you can keep it from curling up. Basically what you're doing with your thumb, is what you suggest with the plug, but you don't have to figure out what size of what to plug in there. Also, a VERY sharp blade really is the key. Ken
  15. Welcome to the forum Tom, glad to hear that you've already been able to get some help. Nice looking bracers there also, thanks for sharing. Ken
  16. Welcome to the forum Bob, and thanks for the tip. I just happen to have one of those tools out in the garage and I'm going to try it tomorrow. Ken

  23. Hey William, great looking belt, I love the way you made the bike chain, must of taken hours to do that. Ken
