Santafe, i think both take a specific knowledge base that someone off the street doesn't know. But i guess you are asking that to the other people commenting here?

I don't see the point in arguing peoples opinions. Everyone has one, and I understand the principal is important to the craft and i value all of your input. However its not going to change the situation I am in, the grammar i used, the work i have to do, or answer the question I have asked

As I understand it there are leather"workers" and leather"crafters". One of the men I spoke with has been making and selling tack(minus saddles) for 17 years. (Reins, bridles, halters, spur straps, chaps, etc) and contracted out his tooling so he could spend more time on the making and the other guy spend the time on the tooling. His tooling partner recently passed away. I'm not looking to put down anyone trying to learn this hobby, as I am still learning myself. And if someone entrust me and my current skill set with their work (and my mark) I have no problem helping them and also broadening my horizons. I was just wondering what different people charge for tooling only, to get an idea of what a fair price would be.

Hello everyone, I have come across a question that I don't know how to find the answer. I have quite a few people from all over the US wanting to send me their leather for me to tool it. I have no idea how to charge them for this. So far I have two different leather workers interested in me tooling their work. Can you help me figure out how to give them a price? One guy wants an idea before i get started. Thanks!
