CFM chuck123wapati Posted January 25, 2023 CFM Report Posted January 25, 2023 i'll double down on that awesome. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Members GrampaJoel Posted January 26, 2023 Members Report Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I really love the grey one. Is that nubuck leather? I see they have a fabric lining. Does the woven outside leather have a backing to stiffen it and keep it from collapsing, after some use? I would love to see more of the grey one. Edited January 26, 2023 by GrampaJoel Quote

I honestly had to look up what nubuck leather was, and I have to say after having done so, I think it may be. I ordered a "close out" lot of leather and all it said was various colors and thickness so I can't say that it definitely is. Unfortunately there isn't any kind of stiffener, I really have no clue what I'm doing and just try to make things that look decent and that I'm not embarrassed to say I made. I worked for a pet crematory for 28 years, and we were partnering up with some other companies and things were going to be BIG!! Better pay, better benefits, better EVERYTHING!!! turns out the company was sold and I got laid off...(sad trombone noise) So I'm trying to take something that I enjoyed as a hobby and keep a roof over my head. With all the crazy going on lately rent has gone up 400.00 a month and I'm just trying to keep on keeping on. I'm not looking to screw anyone with "low quality" I'm just doing my best with what I "know" and hoping to keep learning and getting better and making things to the best of my ability. Ok, sorry, rants over. Here is a couple more pics .. Quote

It has that ‘expensive’ look to it. I think you are on the right track. Good luck with your venture into leather working. Joel Quote

Joel Before I even say thank you, let me be up front and apologize for coming off as snarky as I did, it was not justified at all. I just re-read what I wrote and did not intend for it to sound that way at all, consider it the text version of "verbal diarrhea". You asked a simple question and I took it the wrong way. I'm sorry. Thank you for the compliment and encouragement!! From here on I will try to "think" and not assume how a question is meant. Thank you, and once again I apologize Quote
