    Honestly, pay is very dependent on skills and abilities. The shop is very new and need someone that wants to grow with company long term and is in this for the love of craft. Money can be discussed later. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and really seeking passion and integrity over anything.

    The Leather Shop in San Pedro, California is seeking an experienced leather crafter to be a team member in our shop. We hand craft leather belts, bags, wallets, dog collars, leashes...you name it. Seeking a leather crafter that has experience and their own hand tools that can build products unsupervised. We have tried training newbies and we are too busy to train someone from the ground up in leather craft. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone that truly LOVES crafting leatherwork and giving their ALL. Requirements: -No felonies, drug addicts, thieves or drunks. -HIGH moral integrity and values. -Great work ethic. -Turn key skills and must truly care about quality of work you put out. *****Bonus if you carve well. This is a FIRST class leather shop and you can see photos of our shop below and if you are interested please PM me rather than commenting. Again, this team member position is in San Pedro, California (Los Angeles Harbor area) and if you are serious about applying, let me know. I would love to meet you for a phone interview.

    Hi everybody! Very few of you know this, but my dream is coming true and I am opening my first store on January 14th here in L.A. area called "The Leather Shop." That means that I have been MIA from the forum because I have been so busy building inventory. But here are just a handful of bags I have made for the opening and would love feedback if you have any. Enjoy and keep grinding and honing your craft. Whatever it takes! Another version

    Looks great! Maybe create another version with a blunt tip and tapered corners that lead to the blunt tip? This will give you and customer options and keep things interesting for you. But they do look wonderful. Great job!

    Agreed about the HSBT Western Edgers. Starts off great and then poof, dulls out quick! I hate saying this because they are such great people with great and friendly service. Even my skiving knife from them. I never use it anymore because I have to sharpen it constantly.

    Will do. Thanks Tom!

    I recommend you check out caryschwarz.com. Amazing DVD's and also ranch2arena.com (Jeremiah Watt) has some great ones on leather stamping/ carving as well as a separate one on rawhide.Not sure if they will ship to but check them out.

    Quick update. I picked up a used Cobra Class 4 stitcher for $2300 and bought a new Cobra Splitter directly from Cobra Steve. Very happy with the service and I never knew how many new worlds this splitter would open up for me. I am honestly not sure how I ever functioned without one. Total God-send! If you want one and can pony up the money...get one!!! Saves you major money. No more buying 10 oz, 6-7oz, 5-6 oz, etc. Just buy thickest you can find and split her down to desired thickness. Boom! Serious $$$ saved for the production leather crafter or active leather hobbyist. Now waiting for Cobra 10-ton clicker to clear customs then I will have that, He is literally only 35 minutes from my house so I truly appreciate everyone's feedback. Thank you! Once I get everything in my new shop, I will post a few pics and will hopefully post a full shop tour on youtube. This is a dream come true for me. Hard work and lots of relationship building. Anyhow, thanks fellow crafters and stay tuned!

    Yes, please send me a PM. I am opening my new shop Dec 10th here in San Pedro. Please PM me thank you Fernando!

    Very talented work for sure. Great job!

    Wow, what awesome and thorough feedback. I did talk to Steve and he seems like a great guy. I did ask to buy all three machines together in cash and he offered a discount. It is still a lot of dough but sounds like the obvious choice. He said I would have to pay for delivery which was about $370 alone. But I will speak with him and see if he can waive that delivery charge (and throw in free setup as you mentioned) being that I am buying 3 machines brand new. Its gonna cost an arm and a leg but I am thinking long term and this will help bring my gun belt wait time down dramatically and allow me to brach out. But, thanks guys. I am definitely going to check all of your links and follow up with Cobra Steve. i will post an update once I buy. Thanks!

    Hi everyone! Need help here please... I am opening my first custom leather shop and had the idea of doing my outdoor store sign in Latigo leather. Yes, this will be outside but I live in Southern California and the rain is very seldom where I live. Do you think this Latigo sign will hold up and look good after sun exposure and the occasional light rains? Feedback welcome! Especially from the Latigo community if this is a good or terrible idea! Thanks!

    I am finally getting around to putting my shop together the way I like it. Here is one of my walls that I lined with cedar planks and my tools. This is my temp setup. But just wanted to share and hope it inspires you all to give your shop some love too!
  24. Jess Jones
    What a beautiful machine. Incredible. Still for sale?

    Saw your holsters and they look really nice. I do leather gun belts and I know you offer those as well, but would love to network or chat sometime. I am always looking for holsters to recommend to people.

      Hi Jess!
      Sorry for the slow reply. I'd love to chat about holsters -- and I'll bet you could teach me some things about belts, too!
