Don't know the original makerbut you did a great job. and comps on wanting to give the credit were do, James

Bree speaks the truth. James

Make sure we get to see this in the end Master rickyfro. Great work, James

Thanks John, You answered a couple of mine already. lessons from the pros are always great and well appreciated. thanks again, James

here is the link

a while back I ran into a challenge (I think it was on LW). It had a bunch of different styles of leaves that people had sent in. Was wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about and if so do you know where it can be found again. Have been looking for a couple of days and at my wits end. Thanks, James Of course not more than 2 minutes after my post. There it was!!! http://leatherworker.net/contestpics/index.htm

May try a poker chip company and see it you can get something made out of that. Just an idea, James

Noah, I think it is nice that you try and please your lady. She sounds like a good girl or you wouldn't try so hard, but it also seems as if you are being given and altimatum. I'm sure that all vegans are not just about PETA and such. Sorry you didn't get the warm welcome you should have but your question, while you didn't mean for it to sound offending to meat eaters, it does. You have a valid questions though and we are all here to help. Maybe finding used leather or scraps as mentioned would be easiest to obtain. I don't believe roadkill is your best bet as it will probably be spoiled by the time you get it, especially in Arizona. Also even though UKRay apologized he may have a valid point in silversmithing. It does seem to be a similar craft. I know everyone here would love to see your work and progress and remember we like pics. Please don't shy away. Good luck, James

well its 'bout time we get some fellow okies on here, glad to have you. nice work, James

It looks good, I like the way you have cut out the letters. But did you forget the last letter or is that just the dogs name? James ah nevermind I just seen where you live.

WOW somebody slap me!! Boy do I feel stupid for not seeing through this whole price war thing when Artisan Dave first posted this. I would like to apologize to all of my fellow craftmen/women for making any bit of fuss on this issue. I am disgusted that I have gotten myself all caught up in the dealers issues. Thank you all for opening my eyes, James

Well Mr. Go2Tex If you will read my statement I said that I understand stuff goes on sale! Its not so much the sale that is bothersome, its all the extras that have been thrown in. And as for the sale, most stores and businesses offer a refund in difference to those that recently purchased the same item they put on sale. I'm not asking for any type of refund. It just seems like Artisan would want to make their customers that purchased these machines happy. So don't go making this a political twist about the economy, and I say that with the upmost respect to you. Thanks James

Sounds like a great show and glad you had a good time. Gonna try to plan on attending a show next year, don't know which yet. Does Bob Douglas have a website? I would like to see his tools if possible. thanks James

Amazing

Artisan Dave, I bought my toro 3000 on 8/28/08 and paid $2490.00 to get it to my door. All I ordered extra was the work platform ($100.00). I understand that everything goes on sale sooner or later, but this does still seem to be a bit of a slap in the face for those of us who have tried out and have been loyal to Artisan. Now I don't want to sound like a crybaby but I do think it would go a long way with your previous and future customers if you threw us the extra feet as well. Thanks James

Does that Toro 3000 have reverse? Yes

Thanks Scott, I just got mine in the mail and it is extremely nice work. thanks again, James

Hey thanks again, and did you ever have any better luck adjusting your toro to lighter thread? James

rdb is this the one? its the only one I could find one their site. If so I guess your using two for the double prongs? Thanks I really appreciate your help, James

rdb, those both look great, I like the ranger the best. A friend was asking me to make one awhile back. If you dont mind, can you tell us where you got your buckles. like the two prongs, they seem like they would be very solid. thanks James

Lui, That's sweet! did you do it yourself?

that fixed the problem thanks, James

Is it just my computer or has the layout of the topics changed? When I open a topic it is now like a chapter outline or something, instead of just being able to scroll down and read as I go. Any ideas? computer ignorant here, James

rig it up as a buffer, shoud be fairly simple. james

Money sent through paypal, thanks James
