Well said...Kwelna I take the cost of materials everything..leather,snaps,thread broke it all wown cost per sq ft, cost per foot of thread/ lacing... excel spredsheet to keep it all sorted out, and I take the actual cost of materials and times by 3,(found this was a pretty good standard among craftspeople in this area)... this covers anything I have missed and pays for my time...it takes time to make templates, time to create the project, times to market it on website, social media, etc.. It took me a long time to get the "the price is the price"...and no yard sale haggling. I still get a hesitation at times, but once i put the price out there, then thats it...if they say nothing ..their loss I figure. And that is a great looking Satchel Pnozzer, keep up the good work

Thanks for the tip, will give it a try

I am in the Hamlet of Browns Flat, NB right along the mighty Saint John River, Doaktown is about 2 hrs from me. Will give the lace cutter a go..Thanks

Another Canuk..whoohoo Welcome aboard... this is a great place to enrich your hobby of Leathercraft.

I am trying to come up with a way to cut mystery braids more symetrical...Currently doing some long braid work of 16" of braid. Any tips for cutting such a long plait. I have tried clamping between two yard sticks and still can seem to keep a steady hand. Even tried to put two blades in a piece of pine at my desired width, started the cut with my knife and placed the strap over the block and pulled through, similar to the lace cutter.... still came out all wonky My pieces are 1/2"(12mm) by 24" (610mm) Any tips would be greatly appreciated Cheers Rick @KingCoForge

New to the forum, and under 6 months in Leathercraft.. I use to travel to the West to work, did that for a few years... missed out on quite a bit of my young family..so I am taking my 3 interest of Leather craft, woodworking and metal working and trying ot forge a home based business..So I can enjoy life and not work for life.
