  1. I forgot to pear shade before I cut the decorative cuts.
  2. Looks great, Aaron! Yes, the second photo is a lot better.
  3. While I was waiting for my leather to arrive, I tooled this pattern from a Tandy kit. Anyone see what I forgot to do? It's done so no going back...
  4. Great work, Chris!! I thought you fell off the face of the earth...you do need to stop in once in a while.
  5. Great stories, guys! It must be the same everywhere...few know their job!
  6. Update: I got a voicemail on my phone today saying they were sending me another piece of leather w/ free shipping.
  7. Very nice bags! I know you have a Consew but Sailrite has videos sewing piping. I don't know if the piping foot is interchangable but it might be something to look at. I've enjoyed their videos at www.sailrite.com
  8. I've never had a comfortable feeling going into the store because most of the time they were not customer friendly and their cell phone conversations and cell phone games were more important. So I had started ordering online. I do know the items came from that store. I already emailed about the problem but I'm guessing I'll be calling them too. Thanks for the input everyone!
  9. I ordered the 1.5-2.5 oz. mission grain pigskin lining leather to prototype some wallets. This leather is supposed to be 4-5 sq.ft. I will have to place my patterns just right to even get any use out of this piece. Was I screwed? Does it normally come like this?
  10. You have a great idea, Robert! I think you'll have more luck in your area than mine. I want to take some carving classes from Ron Ross if I ever get up that way. It's about a 4 hr. drive for me here in Indiana.
  11. Welcome LostViking! There's a lot to look at here.
  12. You are so right, David! Thanks for giving us the low down on business/pricing. Waiting to see your next creation!
  13. Rancho, check out this site. www.preservation-solutions.com they are also on Facebook. I'm sure they would have the answer for you. I was impressed with the video and info.
  14. I've tried twice to get a catalog in the mail...Filled out all the information twice and still have yet to receive one.
