  1. There are many worthwhile how tos on YouTube. And plenty of wanna be movie stars. Aside from marketing, those that choose to run ads make money from the ads. If you are going to spend the time to make a video, why not make a useful one? Maybe about fishing. Share your knowledge along with your patterns. We are grateful for it.

  7. If it is a small project, you can paint the flesh side with edge kote.
  8. Purple dye runs about $5 USD here for 4oz. There is a Tandy in the UK, I don't know what the shipping for their Eco-Flo would be to you. You could also try Amazon. Of course if she really doesn't want to spend the money, black is fine. https://www.tandyleather.eu/en/product/eco-flo-professional-waterstain?sSearch=Eco-Flo%20Waterstain%20purple
  9. Pardon me if I am missing something, if you wanted purple, why did you use black?

  12. When are you going to start making usable items instead of show pieces?
  13. The point was for the general public. If you saturate the leather it will be fine. If it just gets wet in some areas it leaves your pretty collar no longer pretty.
  14. Motion to have Weaver give all members of leatherworker.net a free wholesale account
  15. It wouldn't hurt any to do this. Personally, I haven't ordered anything via the mail in over 30 yrs. I would just attach my business card to a flier as handouts. My web address and phone number would be on both.
  16. They give very little info on their site as to what you are getting except the weight. SLC HO Craftsman side runs about $166 based on 20 sf, with free shipping.
  17. That is HO wholesale pricing Minimum Order: 9/10 oz. and under: 10 sides or backs, one thickness, or 20 sides or backs of any 4 thicknesses. They are entitled to make money off of their investment.
  18. I got the pattern for this one at http://www.bighousedaddy.com/ I used 5-6oz HO The hat band was a temp til I had time to do the snake, sorry no pics at the moment. Make sure you mark the center of the crown and brim...
