Do you think a Facebook page helps with your sales?

Doesn't really work for me at all. My primary issue is that most of the people who like my page are other leatherworkers. It's not very profitable to try selling milk to a dairy farmer. I think Renee just has better luck because she's a social person and knows lots of people outside of the computer.

There you go. Now I'm just waiting on approval for the next Kustom Kool order. Enough of these basic initial straps!!! (though they are great for quick income)

Practice, experiment, fail, make that scrap leather CRY from the torture you've inflicted on it!! It's not wasting leather, it's increasing your skill and KNOWING the materials you work with.

I resisted the urge to say "Girl Fit" just for your benefit!!!!

Pictorial edge finishing guide for those who are struggling. I just whipped it up real quick for the purpose of this topic, but I may do something more thorough in the future. It's basically my take on Bob Park's instructions. Hopefully pictures will help those who have been having issues. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=48696&st=90&gopid=309196entry309196

MY NEW BEAR MAUL IS THE BOMB!!!!!!! I really put it through its paces and learned something this weekend. I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE A LONG LONG TIME AGO!
-
I got 18 for an all around one. You'll get used to how to hold it pretty quick once you realize it's not a hammer.

Passion = knowing you can do better and doing everything you can to make it happen

Yeah. I was a little frustrated with myself yesterday. The customer is happy as can be, but I know I'm above that.

TOLD YOU SO!!!

Think I need to break down and buy a maul or mallet. I currently use a double head( 1 poly, 1 rubber) 12oz mallet with 4 3/8"X 2" long bolts taped to the head. Tape keeps breaking and the bolts fly everywhere!
-
Yeah, you need to get yourself a BearMan Maul. If you can't afford it just yet, drill some holes in the head of that puppy and fill it with lead shot or fishing weights.

What's better? Getting your work done quick and easy, or taking your time to make sure you're putting out the highest quality items possible? Remember, if shortcuts were good methods, they would be THE method.

Peter Main has an EXCELLENT book on it available on his website. You have to send him an email for it, but the info is there.

I will say that there are still times where brushes are the better option for me. I just haven't mastered detail airbrushing. I really wish I could be as cool as Peter Main with those things, but I just don't practice enough.

See, we're on the same page. I won't go anywhere without my dremel burnishers or airbrush.

Agreed Kate. I'm all for finding ways to streamline things, as long as it results in top quality and maintains professional standards. There are so many shortcuts going around that only result in lower quality in the long run. Take edging for example. I see a lot of people out there who see it as optional. A poorly executed edge can turn a $300 piece into a $50 piece, so why wouldn't the extra time and effort be warranted?

I know a couple of people who have had great success with the "Tying It All Together" series. They have some Youtube videos as well as books and kits. Just google them and you'll find it.
