  1. I guess it's all pretty raw for us. Paul was a good friend to many of us. We received this from his wife a few days after his death. Our hearts are heavy- RIP Paul.
  2. The problem may be that Rayban is in Michigan and the customer is in North Carolina, Johanna
  3. Thank you for all your kind words and prayers.

  4. I am sad to hear of Jan's passing, and my sincere condolences to his family and friends. I had the privilege of meeting him a few times over the years, and he was always kind and gracious. He will be missed. Johanna
  5. No one else is having any problems that I know of...email it to me and I'll put it in your post. admin@leatherworker.net ~J
  6. If your picture was under 1MB you should have been fine. What kind of pic is it? We can take JPG JPEG GIF PNG etc. ~J

    Thank you for posting all the pictures of this fabulous work! It is beautiful. I enjoy seeing all the careful details in your designs. Marvelous! Johanna
  9. Leather can be any shape you want if you are skilled enough, and any shape but the one you want if you are not.

  10. The way I see it: If you want to browse through a book to see if you want to buy it online or at a book store, fine. Reading it in the store or in the way descibed above is pretty iffy. I think it's very important that we make sure authors are compensated for their work. We wouldn't have books by Bruce Grant, Peter Main, Al Stohlman, Valerie Micheal, Paul Burnett, George Hurst and on and on if there was no financial compensation to the authors. If you want to know what others think of the book you can ask here or read the reviews on Amazon. If you want to glance through the book, fine. Read, copy or redistribute, NO. I'm sorry you feel you have to quit LW, Sylvia. I think Jack presented the other side of the coin quite well, and if that offends you, well, maybe you do realize that circumventing the honor system isn't popular here on LW. Johanna
  11. Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without.

  13. Just added another 8 of you, including you, Skippy! Thanks Johanna
  14. I think everyone has been added that asked. If you don't see the NSFW area by the Marketplace, log out then back in again. ~J
  15. By the power vested in me...I now pronounce you a USA resident, complete with a flag. Happy New Year! ~J
  16. That's interesting. Thanks for letting us know! Johanna
  17. Siegel of California is no longer in business as far as I know...did you see an ad recently? Johanna
  18. Gentlemen, you both have very valid points, but let's not run with scissors on the forum, please. Jerry, glad to hear Artisan is doing well and successfully diversifying. Art, I appreciate the way you help people determine which machine will do the work they want it to and mention all the choices. Ultimately it's up to the customer to do his own homework and make a decision, like Spinner did. Jerry, I know you are unbelieveably busy, but I encourage you to drop by any time and give us your opinion. Because you took the time to teach me, I know that any idiot, despite the intimidation factor of running a powerful machine, can run an Artisan, because you got me comfortable sewing with it. I'm sure the same is true for Cobra, Cowboy and Techsew because I know all those guys too, and they are competent and patient. Jerry, if I can help publicize your expansions, I will be happy to do so. Just send me a press release. I'm sure everyone is curious about what's up with Artisan lately, and that would put matters to rest. Johanna
  19. Bob is honest about his wait times, and if you want the very best tools money can buy, you wait. If Bob didn't have loyal customers, he wouldn't be in business, but obviously people are willing to wait. If you don't want to wait, there are plenty of non-custom tools you can buy off the rack. Johanna
  20. I do think I'm caught up on requests again. We have 699 members with access to this area. PM me if you want to be included also. Johanna
  21. Since you need your leather to have as few imperfections as possible, you may want to develop a relationship with your supplier to hand pick your hides, if you can't select them yourself. Springfield Leather and Zack White would be in a good position to help you obtain exactly what you want. That said, we were always told to tell customers that "Leather is a natural product, so some imperfections are inevitable, and add character and authenticity to your work." (How's that for (old) Tandy spin?) Toolers have an advantage, because they can pound out anything egregious and incorporate it into the design. Chris, post the pic of that pretty tank bib with the red lacing so that people can see the size of the area you need to be clean on a hide. Maybe someone can make some other suggestions to minimze waste? Johanna
  22. If you click on the name, you can see the country in the profile. You can edit your country from there, too. If your country is "Afghanistan" it's because that is the first country in alphabetical order, and your country was never set in your profile. ~J
  23. In order to sail smoothly over the seas of life, one must be a little dinghy.

      a little dinghy..... Oh, that's a good one

  24. Gotcha WayOut! I think we're caught up again. PM me for access if you want in the Adult Area. Johanna
