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

Bad news for those who bought from Artisan before you left :-(

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

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

John Bianchi still makes em that way :-)

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.

Prayers for God's guidance on your decision. That you would clearly see the direction you should take.

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

I seem to remember a special punch made for deer hide like materials. Now if I could remember where I saw it.
