Kevin, Thank you for caring enough about LW to support it. There is a "subscriptions" button on the top toolbar you can use, or there is a PayPal donation box on the right side of the index page of the forum if you'd like to contribute a different amount, People who donate to LW get their names turned blue and have a few more permissions on the board- like a bigger PM box, more allowance for uploads and so forth. We have grown so big that we have our own server, and that, of course, costs more, so we do appreciate it when members chip into the kitty. The most important contribution anyone can give is their time and knowledge to share with others, so no one should feel badly if they can't afford to give money. Hanging around and participating means just as much, if not more, than dollars. Thank you for your kind words and for wanting to help. None of this would be possible without our wonderful members, and we are grateful to all of you who make LW a special place to be. Johanna

Pics are showing up here just fine. Send me a link for where you can't see the pics and I will try to help you troubleshoot the problem. Johanna

Wow, Johan, I wouldn't know where to start guessing. I know what his pieces sold for before he became ill, but that would surely change now that he's retired. Made me think about the pieces of his I have- I could NEVER sell them, and if they were destroyed, no amount of money would make me feel better.If she wants to sell the piece, it would be easier to determine a price because "value" is simply what someone is willing to pay. Good luck with this one, and let us know how it turns out. Johanna

I think I'm caught up again. Send me a PM if I missed you please! ~j

Talk about a surprise! Thank you all for your support of leatherworker.net. I couldn't do this without all the help, and I am grateful that the members and staff care about this place as much as I do. Every day 7000 or so people come to visit LW (we have almost 17,000 registered members now) and I hope they feel just as welcome as when we were little and new. I like to think of the board like the back table at my old leather store, where people drank coffee and talked, and showed each other how to do this and that. But the reality is the scary server bills, gas at $4 a gallon and well...you all know how it is. So to come home and find out that some of you dug in your pocket to help LW...brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, Sam and everyone. You folks are the best. Johanna

I did the best i could. The hotel has crummy lighting, and the room was packed. Mr. Don Butler won the Al Stohlman award this year. It was a great show, and I'll write more after i get some sleep.....zzzzzzzz It was great to see everybody, Harvey included. ~J
