Just a note to myself that i'm caught up with public and private requests. Just let me know if you want access. Johanna

I would love to join you again, if you'll have me. Johanna

Barry King makes great tools at affordable prices, you don't have to wait a year to get them, and he's a really nice guy. Please please tell Barry that you appreciate him helping to sponsor LW. We couldn't pay our bills without the companies you see the banners for, and we are grateful for them all. ~J

Guys, I love all of you, and I am closing this topic for everyone's benefit. I wish people would stop posting "which machine is best?" topics and post "I want to do this and that, what will work best for me?" You guys all know your stuff, and we're grateful you share your insight and knowledge. Let's keep our discussions relevant and useful, and not make a circus out of leatherworker.net. People come here because they want to know something, not because they want to trigger landmines. Johanna

The "except for the snake" remark went too far. If this conversation degenerates further, I will close this thread. Johanna Admin

The Artisan, Cowboy and Cobra will do what you need, and all three have excellent customer service. I suggest calling the dealers and talking to them. You'll get a good idea of the kind of "after-service" you can expect, and they might have other considerations you haven't thought of. Do your homework, and you'll be satisfied with your purchase.

Okay, I think I'm caught up again! Let mer know if I missed you or you decide you want access to the NSFW area. Thanks! Johanna

Precision Saddle Tree has become one of our sponsors, and I'd like to share with you an article that appeared inShop Talk! Magazine detailing the company and what they do. By the way, Shop Talk! will give a FREE 3 month trial subscription to you if you call and mention leatherworker.net. Shop Talk!'s Precision Saddle Tree Article from PST websiteI didn't know exactly where to post this on the forum, so I put it here because PST is of specific interest to saddle builders. Welcome to LW! Johanna

I just ordered some leatherworker.net name tags that we'll have to write our names on, but that should do the trick! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, meeting new folks and smelling all the leather! Less than a month, folks! whoo-hooo!

Anyone else want in the hidden adult area? PM me or post here. I'm caught up again. So far we have 1500+ people with access to the adult section. It's not creepy or kinky, really, but the jokes are horrible. There is some nudity, swear words, and other things you would expect in the "adult leather" genre. We have quite a few BDSM enthusiasts who would like to learn more about making their own toys, restraints and collars and cuffs, and how to do it safely and comfortably. If you do this kind of work, or do some of it on the side, please join in the diiscussions and post pics. This area is not indexed by Google, is not visible unless the member requests it, and is not visible unless logged in. Just let me know if you want access. I think I'm caught up again, but if I missed you, holler. ~J

Due to my oversight, this wasn't posted in a timely manner. My apologies to Mr. Bane. If you have questions, please let albane know, ~J AlBaneredcross1.doc

I'll be there- glad you told us the new dates, Denise! I didn't see anything about it in the Journal today. Harvey- can't wait to see you! Thank you for your lovely letter. LW name tags...hmmm... any volunteers? I don't think we need 16,000+, but we'd need quite a few! LOL Maybe everyone should make their own? There are so many of you I want to meet, and lots of others I want to hang out with again! And Kings is an experience not to be missed. Seriously. You could spend days in the museum and not see everything, and the company is wonderful. SLO puts on a good barbque (Tim Klefner, take a bow!) There is so much to do and so many great people- the time seems to go by way too quickly! Johanna

I'm caught up again. If turned on the Adult Area for you, you should see it by the Marketplace section of the main board. If you don't, log out, then back in. Fair warning, jokes are really baaaad. You can only see the NSFW area while logged in. Nothing in there is searchable by Google. If anyone else wants in, reply here or send me a PM. Thanks! Johanna

I'm trying to set up an account with my bank to accept credit and debit cards, and so far they've done everything but demand DNA from my first-born. Thanks for the link- I'm interested, too. Johanna

Tell us about the second picture, please. Pretty mauls. What's the head knife handle made out of? Sweet. Thank you for sharing. Johanna
