Thanks for the info!

Did this come from the Art of Hand Sewing Leather or another Stohlman book? It looks like something I need to have.

If by chance you decide Tandy is your huckleberry, you can order over the phone through Tandy #168 in Cheyenne WY. They often have in stock what is out of stock online. They get it shipped our fast also.

"Grade A" HO 8/9 from Springfield looks terrible
Herbie replied to palehorse's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
I feel for you, that is a tough hit for sure. I would see what kind of return deal you can get with SLC. I will say using BK tools on the HO leather made me appreciate both. -
Great work!

"Grade A" HO 8/9 from Springfield looks terrible
Herbie replied to palehorse's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
The first and only time so far in my 8-month leather career of leatherworking that I have used HO was at the Rocky Mountain Leather Show in Sheridan a couple weeks ago. I thought it was noticeably different in a good way from the economy and standard grades I had tooled on so far and which I will still use. I did hear some of the more experienced students say that HO was subject to batch to batch or year to year or whatever variances that were not always good. But not one person thought of not using HO. I look forward to my first HO purchase sometime in the future but until then I will keep plugging away on what I have. I did hear that Tandy's upper levels were quite nice also and I look forward to using them also. Hope this helps a little at least, Frank -

I'll see you there! This is my first show, and I am excited even though I am at best a "rank amateur". -
Tagging in!

what type of glue to finish linen thread saddle stitch?
Herbie replied to thekid77's topic in Sewing Leather
I am curious about Elmers. Someday, I may try it on leather and for thread locking.
