  1. I would like to start a list of places around the world where I can send my customers who need work done on my products. It doesn't happen often but occasionally a snap breaks or a zipper slider fails or something goes wrong which could be fixed by a good leather worker fairly easily. My products are cue cases and for that reason a lot of luggage repair shops won't touch them because they are unfamiliar with them. Even though everything I do is pretty straightforward they still prefer to turn down the work when I send my customers to shoe repair/luggage repair shops. Soooooo, as the title states I want to build a list of leather workers who would be willing to take on repairs and servicing of my cases in the field. If you are interested then please take a look at my website so you can see what we do. www.jbcases.com I am always available to walk you through any part of our cases that you don't understand. So feel free to sign on here or send me an email to repairnetwork@jbideas.com if you would like to be on my list of shops. Bonus: My customers are generally the type of people who like handcrafted and well made stuff so you could end up with another customer each time I send someone your way. And you get to learn how we build a case just in case you want to try one someday. :-) (then maybe you could list me on YOUR global service list) Thank you for any consideration, Best, John Barton
  2. One of my customers has obtained a zebra skin from an exotic feline rescue center. The skin is currently in the meat locker at the center. He would like to get it tanned for teh purpose of making cue cases out it. It's in Indiana. Any help? Is there a hobby tanner here who wants to take it on? A professional tanner who will give us a quote on doing the work? Any relatively easy way to do it ourselves? Any Mountain Men who don't wrestle with knives strapped to their chest in flimsy sheaths who tan their own hides? :-) Thanks in advance - I don't know what the shelf life of a skin is when kept in the refrigerator but I have to guess it's not long so time is probably short to get something done. John
