Some cases diagnosed as carpal tunnel are actually problems in the shoulder. Note, I said some, so don't take it that carpal tunnel is fake. It really is a problem for some as you see above. I know a woman that had carpal tunnel surgery on one wrist 3 times and even with trying to avoid tasks that would irritate or increase the risk of its return, it still kept coming back. She was finally referred to an assessment clinic where they look at all the possibilities. Her problems all originated in her shoulder and propagated down her arm. I don't recall the treatment she had, but think it was physio for the most part because I don't remember her having another surgery. Anyhow, it's no longer a problem for her. To bad our doctors aren't all perfect! Would help with so many of our complaints! Tom

Big hint! Here are the marketplace rules, please comply http://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/ Tom

@YinTx I forgot you were in Texas (and didn't bother to look it up)! Thanks for helping out. Tom

Reduce your file size. See this post for more information http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 Tom

You can stop notifications by going to your profile. Click on your username in the top right corner, pick account settings. Under other settings pick "Notification Settings" and tick off the stuff you want, or un-tick the stuff you don't want. At the bottom of the screen, one of the settings is " Play a sound when I receive a notification ". Hope this helps for any that don't want the mp3 file which I assume is connected with "Play a sound ...". Tom

It's a good idea to add your location into your profile. Then you can get help from people local to you if need be. A picture would help people visualize what you are working with also. @YinTx could you help this person out with a few pieces of scrap? Tom

@leatherguy71 Moved you post to leather sewing machines where you will get more exposure and info. You can use leather point needles 135 x 16 for sewing leather goods. But not for fabrics as they will cut textile threads. For thread and needles sizes, look at this chart. https://www.tolindsewmach.com/thread-chart.html You can purchase needles through vendors that support this forum. They are listed in the banner ads at the top of each page. Each time you refresh the page, it will cycle through to more ads. Tom

Just gets you more exposure to people with lots of leather sewing machine experience, which is good for you! Tom

I have a jug of NFO that must be 40 to 50 years old (or more, back to the days when most farming was done using horses instead of tractors). It was stored in an unheated shed and subject to a temperature range of -40C to +30C. It was originally in a glass gallon jug, but had been moved to a white plastic jug like used for motor oils. It is still good. Had no problems with it. Tom

You need to resize the photos. 800 x 600 pixels or a little larger is quite adequate to view on the web. And you should be able to post 100 plus photos in one post! Take a look at this post. http://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/15122-how-to-post-pictures-on-lw/?do=findComment&comment=551171 Tom

Add your location to your profile please. Tom

@dogboy You don't need to be able to draw or sketch. There are loads of patterns around that you can copy and others that you can purchase. The majority of the usual tooling process is basically learning the mechanics of the sequence, which side of the line to bevel, etc. If you are talking about figure carving of animals, scenes, portraits, etc. then that becomes a different story. You need to have some artistic talents and skills. There are a number of books available showing how to do tooling and carving. Also some really good videos on YouTube. Jim Linnell has a series of lessons at https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube+jim+linnel&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Tom
