When customers complain about the price of your tooled leather, remind them that nobody's paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for an old piece of canvas in a gallery. They're paying for the artwork that adorns it. We need to teach our customers to look past the utility of the item which happens to be used as the canvas and instead look at the artwork that adorns it.

Good luck with that. Trouble is so many leather workers give away very nice work that is makes the public think that cheap price is the right price.

OK I just wasted 36 snap tops putting two snaps on two different items. I had a snap on one but snapped and unsnapped it so many times it came apart. However, this is going to hold keys so I don't want to cut corners. I'm wishing right now snaps had never been invented, LOL

No problem I had the same trouble so I know how frustrating it can be.

I think I bought mine on some promo deal for under 100. I use it for snaps and eyelets and have yet to have any issues.

Ya that will help some but for example I sen a few emails and never heard a single thing back so I gave up. If I would have had a number to call I would have. Anyway to each his own if he stays busy then I wouldn't change a thing.

Nice looking site!! Only thing I would say is no phone number to call to place an order. I bet there are a ton of folks like me that won't order without a phone number to call.

Just wanted to say that my dad, 67 years old passed away Wednesday. Please keep my family in your prayers as this is one of the hardest things I think I have ever had happen to me. He was my best friend and very instrumental in getting me started in leatherwork. RIP DAD I love you.

Very sorry for your loss.
