Very nice bud, very nice.... Who makes the knives? the knife maker send the knives to you, you make the sheath and then ship to the customer?

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA..... But seriously... looks good...

See the first and second pic? thats the "pan" for the cushion... it wont fit... I cant cut it down...

about a year ago or so I found a site that made custom leather vests. It was founded by a motorcyle rider who lost his leg and still rode until he dies, his daughter and son in law now run the business... I think it was in Washington state, but cannot find it on google... Anyone know the site I am talking about? Thanks, Mike

Selfless.... Very cool....

I pulled out my Saddle Tan this afternoon and played with it.... this is what I got... I think it is too dark for these grips... what do you think?

OK, Yeah drac, I think you are right... I just have no clue how to cut this now.... I was expecting the edges to come together at a 90 but that isnt the case... i think if it stayed at a 90 it would have worked... Here are the pix... What do ya'll think?

I took the original cover off my sissy bar back rest and used the cushion to make a template to cut the leather out with. Well... I cut the leather, tooled it, and laced the rear panel to the gusset and went to fit the cushion into the piece I had finished to get it ready to lace the front to it and the cushion is way too big for it now. I thought that if I cut the back and front the same size as the cushion and the gusset the same width, that it would fit... not the case... I didnt want to cut it larger for fear of cutting ti too large and it being "baggy". Any suggestions? Wet it and force it to fit? I will get pix in the morning.... to show how I put it together and what I am talking about.

Mr Siegel, I have to ask, and this is not an attempt on my part to start a contest of words or semantics, What is your companies definition of "crafter"? My definition of crafter applies to almost everyone on this board. Anyone who is not employed making 100% of their income from the craft are "crafters" to me. I am a "crafter" as I make almost no money from it. Is this your definition as well?

the rotary cutter I use is the blue handle one that WalMart sells, I got the yellow one from tandy, but found the one at WalMart to feel better in my hand and the guard is always in the protected position. It is cheaper at walmart and the replacement blades are cheaper there too. As for the thickness it cuts... I believe I have cut 12 oz latigo with it....

Welcome to the fellowship Drac.

Everythign I use is pretty much traditional except my rotary knife.... which is a modern leather tool....

Whine, I agree about the discontinued sales... But on the subject of the SOC back order stuff.... you have delt with them for a while.... Had I never read or partisipated in this thread and placed an order with them and only got a part of the order, I would be pissed if there wasnt an explanation in the package. Yeah, the call is free, but that a call I should not need to make. How hard is it to add a note to a package when you are filling an order? "This order has items that are on back order and will be shipped shortly". They can have a stack of pre printed slips sitting on the packing table and when they have a box going out with an incomplete order, just grab a slip and add it to the package... customer get the package, there are no questions... No "did they charge me for everything but forget to send me everything?"

I understand that these places can only keep x amount of stock... that is understood... and now with hidecrafter cutting inventory by half now since the buy out it is going to be worse for them with "back ordered" inventory. Stores like Tandy can send an order to any of 50 stores and if the store is out of an item, they can get it shipped from another store... SOC and HC cannot do this because they have only one building.... So... they need to be more thoughtful of the customers and be more customer committed to retain the customers instead of pissing them off and acting as if they do not care if you remain a customer or not by how they deal with you and your order. I might be an a**hole, and even though I am a penny pincher, I expect a certain level of customer service anywhere I spend money. I especially like to spend my money (for the best deal) locally at a place where the money will stay local, but I cant do that all the time, so i will venture out, but I still expect good service from the place I do choose to spend my money with.

I think they might have changed the frequencies on ya.... might wanna try two ply on the foil hat....

LOL, deep fried leather.... LOL

very nice Ferret.

Ol Snuffy Smith.... Was one of my favorite comics when i was a kid....

Being back ordered is one thing, and is expected on occasion.... but send along a not with the package telling your customers that half the order is not included because it is on back order and that the customer will not be charged until the items are in stock ready to be shipped. I deal with an electronics supplier and I placed an order for a soldering iron, some solder and some liquid flux.... everything arrived except for the flux, and on the invoice was clearly stated that the flux was on back order and that I would not be charged for it until it was ready to be shipped.... They finally got it in stock 4 months later and I got a package with a bottle of liquid flux in it.... LOL But they let me know, I did not need to contact them to find out where it was...

LOL, its in another thread titled the same thing....

Call him back and bitch some more..... I dont do business with places like that.... I get half my order, i am automatically assuming that I got screwed... You need to cal him back, tell him it happened again, you gave him a second chance because he said the issue was fixed, and apparently the folks down there that fill the orders either didnt get the memo, or just dont care what he says, they are going to do it their way regardless....

Looks nice.... Nice work.

Beave... you not wearing your glasses again?
