It is not just the grommets either. Yeah, I’m finding that tandy cuts some sharp corners and they caught themselves gouging the people and lowered prices across the board!

International Die in Clarksville Georgia is closed, got that straight from Sandy herself

Eco Flo that I have is just a bit thicker than milk, is this normal

This strap was made wide because it was made for his first electric guitar, which is quite heavy. The width was to distribute the the weight over a wider area. Whereas a thinner strap would of made it feel like it was heavier than it actually is. Now is a great time for the teen to get a different thinner strap. We all know that a young collar bone gets tender and uncomfortable with a couple of hours of practice.

I got mine off Etsy, they aren’t square and they don’t nest well. I gave up on Etsy because the quality just isn’t there

From what I’ve seen, most companies use less than 107, that’s ONE ZERO SEVEN, because they know that they can skip the industry standards and cut corners! use at least a 135, or heavier

Buy hides or sides, most folks want your business, but the moment you get a bad side send that back. Tandy is not on my list

Let’s update this just a bit, it’s been just under 8 years, i founder a thinner needle plate (thanks Aussie) and now my Cowboy 4500 will sew whatever I need it to!

It’s January 2022, I have upgraded my 4500 in many ways, the last item was an inline presser foot set (not here yet). what other items are out there, somewhere there is a list of things to add without tripping over em on accident???

Get a dog next time, cats don’t care about leather ownership

I usually make them to thread a belt through, clips tend to slid up and off the belt. By there are many places to get clips. Tandy has em and any other leather supply place. Most clips don’t match the size of the item made but the size of the belt (1 1/2 inch is the norm)

I have the Tandy one (it was a bit overpriced at time of purchase) and does what I need it to do, sharpening tips on the blade would be helpful, PM me

I’m hard rock, about 3 years ago I found a group called “Pretty Reckless” the lead singer is Taylor Mumson, she played Cindy Lou who in the grinch stole Christmas with Jim Carrey. she is an a some singer

The reason the boats are sitting in the harbor is because of politicians! Gavin Newsome is the son in law of Nancy Pelosi, she and her friends need to be sent to the gallows or firing squads

They were trying to keep the price down, plus the turn around time was almost comparable to a Walmart purchase

I see folks here using black markers, I use a roller to apply edges, it leaves a clean line and not as messy as a dauber. The edge rollers do require cleaning but I’m good with it. if the back is to marked use a paint roller (not soaking) to cover up the untidy looks

Sandy finally came thru, after 10 weeks, the first order was made was 3/4 (as was the 2nd, 3rd, and possibly the 4th). She finally told me that she had run out of 3/4, after 9 weeks and then she decided to use 1-1/4 inch after seeing how screwed up my orders were. After seeing the difference between the two sizes I told Sandy that for the extra few dollars she should of steered me towards the 1-1/4 size, this was on Tuesday Dec 14, now I can return the incorrect items that were sent in the beginning. I have never used wallet dies, it’s always been by hand because I was understanding that dies were out of my reach financially. Now I see a wallet set can be had within my means, it will help me speed up the process a bit. Knowing that hand cutting will never be fully retired, the dies will help the over used hand tendons get a break from gripping a blade.

A lot of guys make a wall rack with the PVC as a core to wrap the around. Some use the rug hanging system and leave it hanging like a curtain. Me, like most, roll it and store it in a shelf. I have no idea which way is correct or best. how should the skins be stored???

Bob and son have never done me wrong, I have purchased a 4500 and I’m pleased with his company!

Starting out I would use a table spoon, it was in the drawer with knives and forks and was rarely used. It had an aesthetically pleasing arch so I tried it and it became a tool for shaping strap ends

You just need an extra metal plate to replace the clover shaped piece, I have also drilled a hole to hold other tools, and put a longer handle on it for more pressure

I ordered 4 different die’s, they got one correct! The first two were completely wrong - she saw my 2nd order was not sent - the third order was for 2 units but it was also screwed up. Excuses don’t mean a thing if ya aren’t upfront with folks from the beginning. If you don’t have the material do not take the money until it’s in hand

Have you tried ‘‘em in the last 3 months? I’m having a hell of a time, I don’t see how they stay open

Have you tried them lately? How long did it take to get them???

I’m in the USA, this order was submitted Nov 23, it was unloaded from the ship on Dec 4th (12 days) and I’m guessing it will take another 2 weeks to get here in NC. I like the pre woke days when it just took about 12 to 14 days to get here! Gov Newsome stop trying to hurt our economy
