Saw this on a Make forum, thought it might work in leather. http://tinyurl.com/7xyhvjy Skipj

Thanks for the info. Does this make much of a change in the thickness of the leather? SkipJ

Holster the leather? A new term for me. Could someone explain. Thanks SkipJ

Wow, great job. SkipJ -
Bad news for those who bought from Artisan before you left :-( SkipJ

Very interesting, I just can't figure how to add a comment. The history of the company is something I hadn't read before. SkipJ

How Come I Have Never Seen This Stamp In The Tandy Catalogue?
skipj replied to newfiebackflip's topic in Leather Tools
There is quite a lengthy history of the symbol in Wikipedia at: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Swastika SkipJ -
Grizzly have that size for $47.95 plus $75 shipping. I picked one of their plates while I was in Pa a couple of years ago. Boy are they heavy!! SkipJ

Thanks for the explanation, I've never been able to figure them out. SkipJ

Nice job, but Wickenburg is in February not March.

Interesting how many hand made stamps used. You can see the threads of the bolt they were made from. If I could only carve free hand without a pattern like they are! SkipJ

How can I look for recent postings beyond "view new content, as all postings for the last 2 days? Seems I used to be able to do that. Advanced search won't do it for me, wants a subject.

I think I mentioned this book before: "Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster". It tells how luxury goods went from quality to mass produced products with the label not the quality bringing a high price. SkipJ

Tandy managers don't seem to last long. The Detroit manager was let go earlier this year. They seem to have a short career span. Wouldn't want to work there. Seen to ship them all over the country also. SkipJ

Oops, The Leather Guy not Buffalo guy. Sorry. SkipJ

The Buffallo guy sells hides: http://www.theleatherguy.org/BISON-BUFFALO-HIDES-15367.aspx I have no experience with him just always wanted to try. SkipJ

A friend of mine sent this, don't know any thing about it. Looks neat. It may have been posted before and I missed it. SkipJ

Most creative, very impressive. SkipJ

I heard a story from someone who does craft shows, she does beadwork. A person with a table next to her's wasn't making many sales in the morning, but, when he doubled his prices after lunch, he sold out. So many perceive quality by price. If it's expensive, it must be good. Unfortunately, this has been taken advantage of by name designers by selling poor quality at premium prices. I read a book, I think may have been recommended here called "Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster" about that. SkipJ

John Bianchi still makes em that way :-) SkipJ -
A Letter To Bob Tippman (Single Screw Shuttle)
skipj replied to skyblast's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
If someone from the company said the part was faulty, why is it skyblast's fault that it broke when he )?) tried to adjust it? I don't think they were being sarcastic thought. Something being industry standard doesn't mean it's a good part. Perhaps some one could help with the problem. SkipJ -
As the old joke goes, a good trade. A really beautiful job. SkipJ

I've seen a suggestion to use a punch for a tight inside corner. SkipJ
