  1. Danielle, what you really need to do if find out if there is any Comicons, Horror.cons, Comic and Entertainment expos in France or somewhere easily accessible to you. They would gobble these up there. Also 399 Euros I feel is a bit underpriced. If you don't have a website get one. If I had these to sell at the upcoming comicon, they would probably be sold out the first day.
  2. I so want and need this stamp.How big is it and how much would you want for one like this?
  3. Kickstarter is the better one for artistic things. Indiegogo is for all sorts of things but very hard to get anywhere. depending on what it is of course.
  4. For the first time in my life I am now living in an apartment. I had the same fear as you. However, I am lucky I live on the main floor and no one beneath me. I have yet to run the machine but that is coming this month. I have a poundo board under the granite and with some of my stamps just as the leather is changing colour I will press the stamp into the leather it works good. As my neighbours are noisy the noise I make is nothing in compare to them. I also have a very thick granite slab and a pound board under it.. All my leather is in one bedroom (should have been the bigger one) I have two bedrooms. I also only stamp during the day as a rule.
  5. I Love the lacing and the celtic cross. Well done. It look like it holds a lot.
  6. RIP Leonard Nimoy My Favorite Star Trek actor.

      I'll certainly second that thought. RIP.

  7. Welcome to the best leather site on net. Love your stuff. I also do a lot of apparel but do not airbrush, yet. Might be my next step. Stop in the chat room sometime.
  8. Why would you want to wear a magazine, Robin?
  9. And you have the most adorable black kitty to help you.
  10. The colours are stunning. I am not a floral person but that is gorgeous!
  11. Wherever did you find that colour of lacing?
  12. I doubt with tanning, feeding, vet costs, and everything else you will get a good return on your idea. Most people who farm have been or have family who have been farmers. They do know something about it. I am sure you will not come out further ahead because of it. You also have to worry about cougars, wolves etc. Some people put a mule or donkey on their land to keep wolves and coyotes away but that won't stop a cougar. If you have kids and you plan to slaughter this animal, anticipate that you will not be a big star in their lives and they will remember it forever. Remember farmers never take holidays unless they have someone who is coming by to check on things and make sure it has food and water, and something or someone hasn't killed or made off with it. Cattle rustling isn't what it was in the old west, but it still exists.
  13. Bonjour et bienvenue from Calgary, Alberta. Horses being a passion will always be a passion and so will leather. Welcome to the forum and drop by chat some evening.
  14. You should never quote a price if you have no concept of how much it will cost to make it. You research the cost first before putting it out there to people to buy. You won't find anyone to do this if they don't know the work involved. It is like me saying I want a dream house built but they have to tell me how much before I show them the plans. There is not a contractor anywhere that will do it without knowing what it will cost them first.
  15. First there are regulations on size of land. You cannot raise a cow or cattle in the city. You need so many acres per cow and horse. the rest depends on if it is a good year or bad year grain wise. Are you growing your own wheat etc. Do you plan to have calves, do you have a bull, are you planning on a bull. Do you know how to pull calves during calving season. Go talk to agriculture Canada ant then talk to farmers . These are not cats, dogs, or goldfish. This is not waking up one days and saying, I think I will raise some cattle because I don't want to pay for leather. Raising cattle does not insure great leather.
  16. I have never been a sailor but the sea and I have an affinity. I guess it is my Viking heritage. My sister rows a longboat in Vancouver B.C..
  17. Well here are some pictures of stuff I did 30 years ago. They are pictures of pictures. So because of the glossy finish, with the front view of the black vest there looks like a red streak but isn't. The clock looks tilted and isn't.
  18. Welcome to the greatest leatherwork site on the net. Come join us in chat some evening. Hello from Calgary, Alberta, Canada home of the Calgary Stampede and the 1988 winter Olympics.
  19. I won't be able to hold onto any bit coins. So any I get will roll over very quickly.
  20. Constabulary, No one HAS to do it. It was mainly a suggestion. I surely doubt 5000 people will come thundering to my site because I have bit coin. I am putting it there because it is not a pain in the butt to transpose to fiat. If I can make more money by running it, then why not. If I don't have to pay taxes on it, even better. We are all adults it is each persons individual choice to do it or not. Beaverslayer was just giving us a heads up on how to move business forward. If it works it works. If it doesn't, no harm, no foul. It doesn't cost me anything and that is good with me.
  21. Beaverslayer, Thanks. If I need your assistance I will contact you. i do have websites and I do them myself. I will be adding bit coin to my websites. It was good he was able to put it that I could visualize it and it was so much less confusing than I felt it would be. The risk involved in this is maybe holding it instead of changing it over to Fiat. But it can also be a benefit. Unlike currency the bottom won't fall out but it can go higher or lower. it is a combination of playing the barter stock market. I like it does not cost me a cent to hook it up to my business. It only costs a miniature amount of money per transaction. I don't believe I will get a million transactions off the bat.
  22. Beaverslayer, I want to thank you for bringing up bit coin. I have spent all day researching this and speaking with a company in Vancouver, https://www.quadrigacx.com I suggest everyone else in Canada who wants to find out more please contact them. The nice fellow who explained it to me made it all clear. This is something that will increase our business not make it a problem. Actually Paypal is considering setting up for bit coin also. The best part is you can take everything else and this too. I have decided to sign up and with this you don't lose money but a chance to make more. It is not like Fiat currency it is not physical therefore it confuses governments. I am sure anyone anywhere who would like to discuss bit coin with this company could. They have both an online POS and a brick and mortar. They charge one percent of each transaction. No set up fees or months fees and nothing to send into the government. The system can transpose the bit coin into USD, CAD or gold and then even direct deposit it into your bank account.
