Thanks all! Tboyce, I usually do dye before lacing...I think I'm just going to haze it around the edges with the airbrush. The center will get the color. It's my husbands so if I screw it up I'll just make another one.
I've not had trouble ordering from them but I ordered a 25 Key fob kit last week and made sure I clicked what I wanted since it was an online purchase. The photo was with nickel colored rings and rivets...what do I get but brass colored rings and rivets. Does anyone use brass colored fittings anymore?
Hi Diesel,
You have to be Christian Marsh from Xian Leather!
All kidding aside, he does some extraordinary work. I'm not sure of his technique but he is awesome. You can let us know when you find out his secret!
Great question David... Great story Ferg!
I'm still a dabbler in leather. My full time job keeps me busy. I got my first tools from my dads collection. I have a Tippmann Aerostitch still waiting on me to use full tilt. My business runs on only from what I sell. Most of my business comes from my husbands business. I have a website but have not advertised as of yet.
Don't think you need every tool available... When I saw the few tools Samar uses and what fabulous work he does, my jaw dropped. Talent and what you do with what you have is where it's at.
Sounds like at least the Baltimore Tandy is doing a good job.
I've noticed more and more it doesn't matter where you go to get good product and service, it mostly isn't provided.
