I have the equipment and would be willing to give it a try. Contact me and lets do some samples to see if we can get the results you are looking for. Regards, Cajun

Welcome to the forum. I have been in your country many, many times, I have been all over the island, their are alot of beautiful places and it is just a very short distance to Italy by hydrofoil. You have great food and great people. Best regards, Cajun

I would like a copy also. Thanks Bill

3M makes a tape that can be used on leather, it will not leave a mark when you pull it off. It is their 811 magic tape and can be bought in just about any stationay store, I use it all the time. Regards. Bill

welcome, I am from Louisiana, but my wife is from Barcelona. Where are you located in Spain? I am very interested in learning some of the Spanish ways of doing leather work. Would you mind sending me your email address? Best personal regards, Bill

where can you get these clasps?

what was the price of this thing?

I have been in the art gallery and custom picture framning business for over 40 years and have instructed people all over the world. If you will send it to me, I will donate the framing. However due to my wife having a massive stroke, we have had to move to the New Orleans area and are now about 175 miles from our former home and all of my mouldings are over their. I should beable to go back their in about a month and I can bring back all of the things I will need to frame this piece for you and I would like to donate that to your charity. Let me know asap as to when the piece will be finished. I would also like a copy of your drawing, I think it is great., Just let me know what you decide. Best regards, Bill PS: It will be framed to conversation standards also.

where can someone get the clasps that you use, I really like that. Thanks Bill

I have dogs and do leatherwork and would be more then happy to test for you. regards, Bill Parrie

I took a sample of this type of thing to the art and picture framing show in Las Vegas a few years ago and talked with some people who sell the hardware to the picture industry and they showed me how it was done. Its really not that expensive to bu the equipment and not that hard to do. At the moment, I forget the name of the company, however the Las Vegas show is in another week or so. If anyone is interested, I can try and find out, who the company is and you can contact them and get all the details. As i remember, their was a special solution that was put on the leather before printing. It did not seem very difficult. Being retire, I was not interested in starting another business. Regards. Bill

I am trying to translate all of the words, that are on those patterns, but I have a wife who has had several strokes and she comes before anything else and seems to take all of my time, today we were in the emergency room from 3am until after dark tonight. However I will send what I have done so far. Remember I donot sew and am giving the translation of the words that I know. The word "cuarson" must have ameaning only to sewing, I have never heard it nor my wife. However my sister in law does alot of sewing and I will ask her tomorrow and post what I find out. Here are the words that I have translated so far: pleza piece pasader pass thru unir join bandolera strap clnta ribbon ferro lining bolsillo pocket forro solapa lining of flap solapa flap custura de forro lining seam tupls opening to put something through entretela between lining and leather (not to be seen from the outside) pleza por cada lado piece for each side trosera back side forro bolsillo trasero lining for back pocket fuele bosillo trasero lining for back pocket rayan bolsillio bellow for the pocket rayan bolsllio scratch pocket extrangular choke trasera the back pasadores pass through delantera front ojo eye corta short forro interior lining interior solapa flap I hope to have time tomorrow to do more, like I say, I do not sew, I am giving a literal translation. Best regards everyone Cajun

I would like a copy of the patterns also, I have lived in Spain and my wife is from Barcelona, maybe we could help with the translation, it may take a little time as my wife has had several strokes and does not move to fast and get tired pretty fast, but she is willing to help. My address is: bparrie@bellsouth.net Thanks,Bill

Do your circles the easy way, go to a custom picture frame shop and most of them have oval / circle cutters and it will cut leather like butter. I use mine all the time to cut circles and ovals. Most frame shops have now gone to computer mat/cutters and nolonger have any use for their old manual ones and will sell them at a good price. I must still have 5 or 6 of these machines and will sell all of them. Regrds, Bill

I think we have all been had, their is no such thing as the adult section, she is just playing with us. I have looked at every part of the page and can find nothing. However, I do admit that when it comes to computers, I know nothing.

I have tried and tried but am unable to locate the site, I am beginning to wonder if it even exists.

Sign me up so I can see what this is all about Thanks, Bill

Glad to see all you folks here in Louisiana. I live in Eunice and we are trying to get a guild going over here. It would sure be nice to meet all of you. I have a country place about out of Eunice where we meet the second Tuesday of the month. Sure would like to have you stop by. Matter of fact how about we come up with a date that would work for everyone interested and meet at my place. We could have a good cajun meal to boot. I would be more then happy to host the thing. Also if you have a better half , bring them along also. You can reach me at bparrie@bellsouth.net Let me hear from all of you. Best regards, Bill Parrie

I have had my cobra for over a year and have tons of broken needles and have never been able to sew a project yet. Steve now says my problem is tension. I have spent hours working on that and no lucka, the last time I talked to him, it sounded like he was fed up talking to me. So the machine is now sitting in a corner with flower pots on it and I am back to hand sewing and guess I will hand sew from now on. The machine is not worth the hassle. Hand sewing sure is faster and better for me. Regards, Cajun

Send me the die and leather, I will cut them for nothing, just to help a quild out. You pay for leather and shipping both ways. I think it is important to help guilds out when we can, and hope you folks will do the same. Best regards, Bill Parrie

Both of you are more then welcome to meet with our group in Eunice. we meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.You can contact me by email. bparrie@bellsouth.net Best regards, Bill Parrie

I use a ruling pen, just takes a little practice. Regards, Bill Parrie

I have a new one that I got this year and have hardly used it, I need something that I can do more volume, so I have bought a cobra 4 and expect to receive it sometime next week and will let the boss go at a fair price. I have just about all of the extras that go with it also. You can contact me offline. Regards, Bill Parrie bparrie@bellsouth.net

I would just put that cupon in the garbage, I was by Hidecrafters the other day, and it looks like they are going out of business. It used to be the greatest place to go for supplies. Now most of the shelves are empty. They have almost no employees anymore. Talking with a few other leather workers, it seems everyone is just waiting for them to lock the doors any day now. What a shame, this was once my favorite place to shop.
