I'm still working. Have you ever tried to change the oil in your car while it's driving 70 mph down the highway? Please be patient, it will get fixed.

the older I get the more I want things not to change or only on my dime

If you want things not to change or to have a say in them then I suggest you fork over about $500/month for a license for the software they use here, probably about $1200.00 for a server for a year, put in a lot of work getting advertisers to advertise to try and defray costs and then get 30,000 members. Then have the same attitude you have with the owners here and see how long your members stick around. She's doing her best, probably along with holding down a full time day job so how about you cut her some slack.

as I said before who's idea was this ? can't find anything. no pictures are posted any more . from what I can see is when something is working okay ,.someone desides it needs to be changed. now it doesn't work and all of this for progress.
-
pardon me for being blunt but as we are not staff nor are we owners, the owner doesn't have to consult every member before making a change. I'm sure there was a good reason for the upgrade (security patch, etc) that they decided was needed. As with any upgrade, the potential for issues is there and unfortunately it happened here. I'm sure they are working with the software provider on getting things fixes. Just cut them some slack and go enjoy being with your family this Easter weekend if seeing the board like this upsets you that bad.

Not the glue the rawhide is damp. You get the rawhide wet mold it. Then apply the glue let dry ,while the rawhide is damp reattach and then try and sew. Hey this could be all messed up I was just asking

Cutting Leather With Laser Questions
thunter9 replied to pillpusher's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
LOL -
has anyone ever tried to sew rawhide on a harness machine say on a holster that you have molded rawhide on the around the edge.Can it be glued in place and then sewed while its still damp ? or will it have the tendency to move or slip around. years ago I sewed one by hand , and it looked great and it stiffened the holster up quit nicely . I traded it years ago and its probly up in Alaska still.
-
Do you still have it. What thread and what thickness will it sew?

Adler 30-1: Feeding The Bobbin From Exterior
thunter9 replied to gigi's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
hi not sure which machine you have ? I'd use D/E size thread in the bobbin its the same as z-69 size. now if its the larger of the 2 bobbins I'd use z-99 on the top. you can buy pre-wound bobbins small bobbin no paper shuttle. larger bobbin use the paper shuttle type . large size sells by the gross and the small by the 1/2 gross they come in 3 colors white ,black ,brown and I have seen a tan years ago. so you still might find it. here in the USA coats is the only one I've found that seems to work. but who knows? since rice was bought out years ago. places like Ralph's industrial sewing machine in Denver caries a lot of thread under there name. hope this helps -
the wood clamp looks like a old limb makers vise for clamping a wooden prosthetic leg in to and maybe filling or rasping in to shape something to hold it in place while you worked on it . be nice to have but its not worth it to me. nice stitching horse.

since I've never used Sheridan leather because I lived in Sheridan for 5 years and they had the show in the spring the company never existed . till when ever. I and everyone used Montana leather out of billings Montana . I think you will be pleasantly surprised with their service and their prices. they even deliver if your with in so many miles. after joe retired john picked it up for them. I've used them for nearly 35 years now. when I lived in Montana, Wyoming, south Dakota, and now iowa. they cater to the shoe and boot trade and the saddle makers and everyone inbetween. they are also tied in with McPherson out of seattle i think they are brothers , I even changed our supplier from southern to Montana leather when I got at the last job I had before I retired /

here's the truth of the matter I won't have my money till after the first if march and I need to see what shipping common carrier will run . my guess is at least 200. if I bought new it would run about 3000 and all the bows and whistles come with it. and if you go any lower ,you'd be better to pay the restocking fee. or have you had it longer than 30 days. its not that I don't want it ,but for any reason I have no one to go back on. so if every thing is true , then is 500 a big enough incentive. . what was the cost to have it shipped to you ?
-
its what I'm looking for . your further than the dealer. and no support from the seller.
-
so your selling a 4500 for 95 less than new or do yours come with the 400 dollar accessories package

Funny/sad Story About Tandy Leather...
thunter9 replied to Dougster's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
who said Tandy leather executives . are very smart . they owned colortile and radio shack or am I mistaken -
Well I've done it one better. I've taken the hinged top off and removed the wooden insert that will be tacked in after its been cleaned of old glue and any cracks have been filled and repaired. Now after the wooden board is replaced its ready for the video. My first question is what type of leather is used and what weight. From looking at the Video it's a fairly stiff leather. What type of leather would you use?
-
this s what I'm talking about
-
has anyone here ever tried there hands at this ? Remove the wooden insert sand and glue and resand the insert. tack or toe nail it back in place. some how glue the leather on and try and be neat. I would rather put the leather on the board than set it in the frame. how am I to attach it? I'm just worried that by gluing it after I toe nail the board in, when I cut the leather on the out side edge theirs no way to get in there and burnish the edge. or am I just over thinking? I know what I want to say just not sure how to say it.

They use to sell what was known as a pegging awl. Don't sell them anymore. I used to do a lot of baseball stitching on round things . The awl I use now is needle in a sewing handle.long tapered and very sharp. Little bees wax on the tip ,less chance of sticking.to the leather.
