Art what a great post. I get so tired of people complaining when they take absolutely no responsibility themselves.I was at SLC yesterday and saw some bracelets on sale for $2.99. I clicked on the link and it said they were 3.50. I could've have ordered and expected SLC to figure out the mistake and go fishing, or call them and figure out what was up. I know if I had a box full of receipts of returns, I'd simply not order there again, even if it was my own damn fault. Cheryl

Ray......will you sell these individually? I'd like to have everything but the blacks, I use vinegaroon. Cheryl

This is terrible news. Barry take care of yourself. Cheryl

Jeff you order from them all the time when your other companies can't ship fast enough. Did they pee in your Cheerios? Hundreds of us have said what Mike did, I've never been unsatisfied with their services. And I saw HO at Sheridan so I have seen a good hide, there AND at SLC. Cheryl

Where are you located? Cheryl

Hi Mike. So glad you're back. Cheryl

Springfield is. Cheryl

I'm going to be selling dog collar kits soon for people who want to make a collar for their dogs with their kids, or on their own. They will be easy to do but high quality parts. I don't have any kits yet but they will contain everything you need including the holes clicked out, buckle sets or brass buckle and D, and the chicago screws to put them together. I was researching these to come up with a price point and found out that Springfield Leather Company has collar kits you can buy, along with other kits if you don't have a dog. Also Tandy has kits and although the including things aren't all that great, they are a great way to learn how to do something before you jump in the deep end. I hope this information helps. I think kits are a great way to start out. Cheryl

Beautiful Straps. Cheryl

Alcohol dyes especially stiffens and dries out the leather. Before I put on my final finish I use bag balm to soften the leather and add some moisture back into it. It is Lanolin based and doesn't change the color. Other people use fncier things but I like bag balm. Cheryl

I think you critique way too hard. I think it's beautiful. Cheryl

Where are the mistakes? Cheryl

Someone needing surgery isn't a topic for ha has Jeff. Just because you can't use a cobra is no need to make fun of them OR Steve. Dover I've had nothing but wonderful interactions with the LMC. I asked them to send me a table and they did at no charge. I lost my screw out of the feed dog (way teeny) and Steve brought me one to Sheraton when I was there for the trade show. If you go to Facebook and type in Al Bane for Leather It has his phone number on his page and I'm sure he'll be more than happy to help you while Steve is out of commission. Cheryl

Belts are my biggest selling item and I've never had one that didn't no matter what your home spun wisdom tells you. Doesn't mean I never will if someone doesn't understand my instructions. Oh YEAH which you still aren't sharing

I do mine just like Bob and never had one that didn't fit. I keep waiting for JLS to tell us his inspired method instead of talking about what others do wrong. Share your method Jeff so we can all do it 'right.' Cheryl

I've never used a tandy pattern but to be sure I'd call them. Also if 1/4" is gonna make a difference in fit I don't think I'd make it Cheryl

Bob that is a fantastic job. Cheryl

I adore the dancing skeletons and the bright colors in this. Cheryl

Well shucky durn.....next you'll be using antique and quit calling people who don't do things your way idiots. 100.00 though for 2 knives you'e not gonna use? Some how I can't fathom that.

Cappy that is really awesome. Thanks for sharing. Cheryl

Victor I've made guitar straps that I wrinkled on purpose. I don't know how long your leather is though. You can make distressed pouches, and like you said wallets, bracelets, anything you can make with smooth leather. Cheryl
