I've seen that someplace on YouTube already. You should be able to search for it. Other than that, but it's just a wild guess and only how I would approach it, it's like a shingle roofing, if you know what I mean. I'd be cutting stripes, use a scribe for marking, punch all ends and make the cuts with a carpetknife, glue and stitch the layers. I wouldn't stitch it on a T-shirt. That's kinda disgusting in time. If you're looking for the videos to guide you, you can use the search terms lamellar armor. Good luck and lots of patience.

Or very early

Hi Carrie and welcome. BTW you're just 9 days older than me.

Haha those Calgary guys had a winter impact.. Bitcoin blabla.. When you mention bitcoin as an alternative to other payment methods you should mention the risks as well and especially in the last little while it was in the media and a few guys and companies seemed to loose a little too much with it. Constabulary seems to be from northern Germany. Tough to convince these guys. Almost as tough as convincing a swiss person ;-) Again common sense isn't all too common anymore, but it must be used to understand the system. This looks like catch22. Marketing must be done for every product but this goes a bit overboard, which makes it suspicious. Reminds me on one of these MLM systems. But to befair, we all said the same about PayPal a few years ago.

Hello and welcome Alex, I like your pictures a lot. They look very professional and I like your website as well. Nice and clean like your work. Hope you get the demand for your stuff.

I'm working with Linux, but I believe windows has feature for standard programs where you can set your standard programs. If you want to send a PM with the operating system you're using as well as the email client, I can run you thru the process. Shouldn't be too hard.

Welcome, that looks pretty cool. How about posting a tutorial on that topic?

Welcome! Yes, there's an abundance of leather work knowledge on this site. So you've got 4 dog 2 cats and your mother in-law living with you in a trailer? Im taking you're speaking of a double wide trailer.

Any particular design wanted? Using the German terms I can find tons using Google. It's just a guess but would say most of them come from Italy.

No problem at all. I hardly ever buy stuff like that especially not when it's readily and free available on the net. Actually it's quite simple to get a hold of Microsoft. A lot easier than contacting an immigrations officer if you need to ;-)

Just try this https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1345&bih=880&q=clipart&oq=clipart&gs_l=img.3..0l10.4136.6249.0.6746.7.5.0.2.2.0.121.498.3j2.5.0.msedr...0...1ac.1.61.img..0.7.508.HrmtZ9t1iCo Use the search tools to modify and different search terms.

Of I could vote for this post I would. One thing you should do is to put yourself in the position of your customer. He won't care a lot for your business colors but for comfort.

CSS stands for Content Style Sheet and as I just double-checked you can only take control on weebly if your are a so called power user. Are you a power user? You'll find that information here http://www.weebly.com/features/#!/ssl-and-seo. Right click anywhere on the page and choose "View page source" or whatever the equivalent option is with your browser. Yes, I have some expertise in this area as I had a life before leather ;-), but that's also the reason why I would stay away from weebly and all sorts of ready-built websites. Compare it to a western saddle. You can go to the local tack store and buy one of the rack or have one custom made by a guy who knows what he's doing. I would recommend you find some young college student, give him $500 and have a stunning website. Another option is to go and get one of the "Dummies" books on website building. If I'd be in your position I would get a hosting plan from hostgator.com or a godaddy.com, an easy to use WYSIWYG html editor, that'll do most of the stuff for you and you don't have to pay extra for standard features. I hate those rip-off guys. Sorry I got carried away... So you'll probably want to stay with weebly and here's a video explaining you exactly what to do with your image. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLG11TNNUlA. This nice British fellow explains it in depth. The info you're looking for is at 3:05 minutes. So re-sizing a picture is fairly simple. First find out what your target size is and then open the picture with an image editor of your choice. That could be Gimp, Photoshop or whatever. There are two things you have to do. Change the dimensions and maybe the dpi. For internet pictures you don't want anything else but 72 dpi or pixels (whatever your program displays there). Now the dimensions are the ones you have been given by your website theme. Please review what I wrote about the dimensions of your banner. Regarding the "alt" tag feature. Don't get to fuzzy about it. Keep it short and precise, but also using common terms. I've seen people writing 5 or more sentences... That's not what you want. One sentence with a maximum of 8 to 10 words is the most you should do. Words like to, and, of, or... don't really count. Let's say your working on this picture: The ALT text could be: Blue gun (Model), Kydex holster, clips to belt or pants. The picture should also be re-sized to fit the box it's placed in. The picture is 639px wide but the box is only 495px That's like fitting a 1" belt into a 3/4" loop. It'll work but will take some time. OK I complained enough. Your site will and does work. On the bottom line that's all that counts, but visitors are picky and so are search engines. Think of them like of a woman coming to a house. If it's nice and clean, she'll like it and tell others. If not, she won't come back. A short note on keywords. There are good practices and bad ones. If you place a keyword in the keyword meta text - let me use the leatherwranglers stuff. <meta http-equiv="keywords" content="Leather Wranglers, Paul Zalesak, Rosa Zalesak, Pabloz, leathercraft, tools, leather tools, quality tools, leather craft, leather craft tools, leather workshop, leather classes, teach leatherwork, leathercraft, knives, knifemaker, Albuquerque knifemaker, custom knifemaker, Zubi, leathercraft tools, finger carving, leathercrafting, tooling, leather tooling, hand-carved leather, leather carving, leather carving tools, swivel knife, swivel knives, Home of the SK-3, best swivel knife, SK-3, SK3, SK3 swivel knife, SK3 swivel knives, SK-3 swivel knife, Al Gould, Al Gould special, SK-3 swivel knives, custom swivel knife, quality swivel knife, quality swivel knives, swivel knife blade, anodized swivel knife, round knife, head knife, Tranto, Deeter knife, leather knife, leathercraft knife, skiver, skiving knife, Rhino head knife, pull-cut round knife, pull-cut, APT trim knife, APT, Mini Lui, Mini Sam, trim knife, most beautiful round knife, custom round knife, most beautiful round knife in the world, nicest round knife ever, awesome round knife, most awesome round knife, cordwainer tools, cordwainer knife, leather trade show, leatherworkers, leathercrafter, Doodles Designs Patterns, Floral Carving, diamond sharpening stone, diamond hone, DMT, DMT benchstone, bench stone, EZE-lap, swivel knife contest, swivel knife shootout, Billy Wootres, Wootres, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sheridan, uncompromised quality"> It works. Don't use the same word more than 6 times here. Double-check yourself. Stay with singular and don't use plural. Don't use your name in the keywords. That's useless. If that is anywhere on the site it will be found by Google. Especially if it is on the about or contact page. Now what most people don't do, and that's why there stuff is not high ranked in search results, they don't back up what they say. Meaning - if you have it in your keywords, it must be found in text body, description, help lines, internal links (they can and should also have a description).... This being said, I have to mention, that if multiple words are in the keywords and are not found on your site, it might be considered keyword spamming get the page to end of the line if not excluded from the index. There's a multitude of things that can be done. Read up on this here https://www.google.com/webmasters/ and find out what you can use for your business. I disagree with what Chain said about the font size. Well I don't totally disagree. For as long as you don't have a separate page for mobile devices I would keep it this way. It looks good on a mobile device like a tablet or smartphone. If one day you want to have one for ordinary website visitors using their computer and one for mobile devices, I agree with Chain. But that's a whole different story. Ok, I guess this gives you a lot to read up on and to look into. If I can be of any help, just let me know.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm still learning, probably always will. So Todd will be save for the next 20 years or so. He's been in business for a long time and it will take a very long time for me to get close to what he does. Actually his saddles are about the best my butt has been sitting in for now. I just found out how an album can be made and uploaded here, so I thought I'll add that for the scabbard with some comments from myself and hopefully some feedback of others.
