    Quite simple, I was unhappy with the product the OP delivered, described as A/B quality cowhide 20-25sqft per hide, but delivered with very large holes and many of the sides less than 20sqft. I attempted to contact the OP via phone, email and finally this forum, kindly requesting him to address the issue with me, but to no avail. Somehow, these posts I made to this thread were removed. If the moderators are unwilling to allow such posts that might warn others of a poor quality product and customer service to be posted, then every item listed for sale becomes questionable. As such, there are other forums to purchase materials and services from. This is unfortunate, because I have also offered items for sale here, and if one of my customers was unhappy and posted here, I would much prefer to address it and have them walk away satisfied, rather than enlist the assistance of the moderators to enable me to ignore that person. Here is one of the hides I was sent. If this is A/B grade, I will retract my statements. YinTx

    Interesting, all of my posts requesting responses due to my negative experience with this seller have been duly removed. If mediators are purging these requests and posts, I think my time purchasing anything via this forum may be limited. YinTx

    I had them shipped to me by a friend in Taipei, he bought them from a store there. Hence the long wait... they had to get them in stock, he had to have time to go get them... I had to send the money... YinTx

    Pretty excited, I've waited nearly 7 months for these to show up! I put an old Joseph Dixon iron in the photo for comparison. I have yet to use these, so they still have the protective plastic dip on the ends, but they look spectacular, almost mirror finish, and appear pretty sharp. I can't wait to have a project to try them out on! YinTx trying to upload a photo.. but getting blocked. I'll add it when I can...

    I have a bunch of machine thread I don't expect to use, so if you want a great price on some let me know. I have quite the variety of colors and sizes. If you are looking for something specific, then the Thread Exchange gets my vote. They more than took care of me even though the shipping company destroyed the box, at no charge to me. Great folks.

    I have wanted to say Made In USA on a lot of my stuff, but since some of the leathers are imported, I have not. So I have been trying to find a tag that says "Assembled in USA" or some such thing, but have not been able to find one yet. And interestingly, I think a lot of the "Made in USA" tags are imported as well, so there is that. So this topic came close to home since it is something I've been wrestling with recently, and I appreciate everyone's candid candor on the issue. YinTx

    The Federal Trade Commission publishes the regulations. Directly from the FTC web page: (https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/complying-made-usa-standard) " THE STANDARD FOR UNQUALIFIED MADE IN USA CLAIMS What is the standard for a product to be called Made in USA without qualification? For a product to be called Made in USA, or claimed to be of domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be "all or virtually all" made in the U.S. The term "United States," as referred to in the Enforcement Policy Statement, includes the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories and possessions. What does "all or virtually all" mean? "All or virtually all" means that all significant parts and processing that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. That is, the product should contain no — or negligible — foreign content. " Your product contains content that is not of US origin, so it is not all or virtually all domestic origin. That is where my questions came from. But I am really surprised you would not highlight the fact you are using some really nice Italian leather, instead of trying to claim it is US content (leather). Thats all I was wondering. YinTx

    I love the work, but I have a question. If it is primarily composed of Italian tanned French leather, how can it be stamped "Made in the USA?" I think there are some legal requirements to allow that moniker related to the country of origin for material content. Also, I would like to think someone using inexpensive chrome tanned leather imported from a country that has subsidized its production would not be able to compete with a product that is truly made in USA, and thus has supported American jobs and followed laws and regulations intended to protect the environment from gross pollution - by simply stamping it as though it were Made in USA. Likewise, if you have used expensive luxury Italian leather, why would you want to brand it Made in USA? Just things my inquiring mind want to know . . . YinTx

    You requested images of the hides in question, which I sent, but have I not heard any response from you. If your email is not functional, I would be happy to post the images here. YinTx

    Absolutely awesome. I love it! While some may lament the loss of a beautiful pair of vintage skis, I think the repurposing into something like this is fantastic as well. Now, off to find some skis.... YinTx

    Thanks, Johanna. I did create a new "Activity Stream" to filter for unread content that I follow, I'll see if that does the trick. If you get back the views and downloads feature, awesome, but if not, I'll learn to live with it! YinTx

    So I am gradually getting accustomed to the new site's functionality and looks, but there are some things I miss. One is in the gallery view, ability to see my photos in groupings. Also, being able to see how many views topics or images have had, helps me gauge interest in subjects and guides me on what I post or don't post. When I go to the drop down at my user name at the top of the screen and go to "manage my content" I am unable to see which topics have unread content, and I can't just jump to first unread post on those topics. Also, I am unable to see number of views and number of responses. Are these functionalities gone now, or am I missing something? Thank you for the time to answer, I suspect others may have similar questions but have not asked... YinTx
