i don't have issue with selling low grade leather if you are honest about it. My biggest issue and i wont give folks a second chance is selling low grade leather for higher grade leather. If you say its b grade for example it better be. This is something that is done frequently i feel by some companies either because they don't want to hassle with sending crap back to their supplier or some times intentionally. Last thing i want to hear is if you don't like it just send it back. I wont waste any more of my time to send it back so the seller can pawn it off again to some unknowing schmuck. But i will leave the review and not buy again and i have mentioned it on this forum as well as anyone willing to listen. My true to life example , i ordered leather that was advertised mid grade which should be something along low b or c i under stood there would be bad spots, bug bites and a brand no big deal i knew there would be waste but what i received was d grade or even worse, leather that was mostly waste, the grain side almost totally shredded by some machine during the tanning process. the damn thing shouldn't have even left the tannery. Herman oak to boot! For your own good don't ruin your reputation or the tanneries rep by passing that crap on.

i saw fresh free range eggs here today 8 bucks a dozen that's freekin crazy. we have been stalking our pantry with canned foods for the last two years have two 20 lb buckets of powdered eggs i'm thinking we will be using them pretty soon. i'm sure we would love her too we would feed her all kinds of goodies. That's why you didn't buy a pig in poke too lol.

i make my buckle holes the same size as the buckle prong, the prong tip just fits in the hole in the punch. If i were having your trouble i would try drilling them with a small bench top drill press and i would make a jig with a prong size pin in it so i could mark and drill the first hole , move the first hole onto the pin and the drill would line up with where the next hole should be. drill and move drill and move. But i would first try it with my punch in the press instead of a drill bit.

Its friggin awesome!!!! That has to weigh a few pounds though lol. I would gladly tote it around.

i like this one too. how big is this one it looks tiny.

that would depend on what you want it to look like when done. You can use about any kind of leather on it depending on the desired out come.

yum!! Had egg foo young last night and teriyaki elk strips, celery and onions over dry noodles. eggs are now almost 4 bucks a dozen twice as much as two year ago so now they are a main dish lol. I fried up some rabbit the other day, my daughter raises them, absolutely nothing like wild rabbit its much more tender and the flavor is amazing.

i've got a twin size oak headboard similar to this, all i need to do is add some shelves and a tool rack on the bottom. lol. Great idea indeed! its gonna be a bit bigger though lol.

some are some aren't but with limited info we don't know what your buying. If they are they wont be for long so you will still need to sharpen them at some point. Buy your cutting tools on the quality of their steel and workmanship, sharpness is inconsequential and adds to the price work you will be doing anyway. IMO. That being said i have one Japanese made knife it was sharp out of the box. i don't think the Japanese folks send out dull tools the one i have wasn't, but Chinese copies may be a different story, you see them marketed as "Japanese style".

gorgeous!!!

wow just wow!

those are cool indeed!

" I do unique car interior engraving " you wrote this! Do you do it for free or only for your self? You posted this! If you are selling this its illegal. if this is just a photo from the net like you now say then you didn't create it with that cnc machine and your lying about that. So now you can answer my question in a logical manner. What is the legality of using other peoples art and or trade names in your work?

i didn't accuse you of anything you wrote you sell your stuff and you showed a Lexus logo. if you sold that without permission it is illegal and i questioned that i also questioned the legality of using other peoples art without permission which if not illegal certainly unethical.. Seems the only one panicking is you. I just asked a question! If your useful articles insinuate that you can sell anything from the net then they aren't useful they are wrong.

i just don't want to see anyone get into legal troubles. exactly! from Zacks comments he is reselling trademarks. How about artwork can a guy just download someone's art work, photos, etc. and resell it in another format such as this?

those are very cool indeed and have opened up a whole new genre of leather work but i have a question. What is the legality of using other peoples art and or trade names in your work? i know using and or selling trade marks such as your Lexus without permission can violate the trade laws here in the US.

this isnt all you can make but gives you an idea. , you can also double it up and make the thicker stuff as well. the sky is the limit.

its is for raising the hay up onto the stack then men on top would move it around, i wish i could remember more about it too if i remember right a buck rake would bring the hay in then load onto this by men, a horse pulled it up then the men on top of the stack would place it in such a way that the rain or snow melt would run off keeping the hay good inside.

Not a lot around here but south of here about 60 miles along the Platte and little snake rivers is where most of the local hay is grown in our county. The eastern part and northern part of the state has the grass lands and more water. Where i live is on the edge of the red desert. Its been a good year for them not to much rain but enough to do the job they will be getting two good cuttings i'm sure this year. Here is another cool picture, my great grandmother took this probably in the early teens, i have about 30 glass negatives of hers. I put them on a light box and took photos of them then had to reverse the image from negative to positive to get the image. My dad told stories of the old timers, haying was a community endeavor so the men would go from ranch to ranch helping each other and the women would get together to feed every one. This would be on the little snake river where my family homesteaded

i'll cut some next time i'm out. Thank you.

Thanks natural light effect at its finest! The good old Wyoming winds took off the roof lol. This old barn was long abandoned in the 50s or so, it started as a train stop/spur back in the steam locomotive days to load sheep. With our dry desert weather and no humidity deters alot of rot but the constant sand and wind does most of the erosion out here.

post a picture so we can see what you talking about. It could be a home tanned, partly home tanned , or just a salted and dried hide with no tanning.

i photo just about anything interesting to me. This is an old barn loft i thought was cool, way out in the boonies.
