bruce johnson Report post Posted April 15, 2009 Good site for saddle tool dude, and I like his makers section - good source. Now I am thinking on the keyboard here. It would be kind of cool if we had our own e-museum for tools here. We could do it within the leather history section easy enough. Threads for each type of tool like draw gauges, plough gauges, splitters, round knives, edgers, etc. We could add pictures of what we have and a little history. Keep each tool type in its own thread.

King's X Report post Posted April 15, 2009 My pleasure.....it's all about sharing..........especially you Bruce since you were kind enough to share you purse patterns. By the way, I completed my first bag off your book and called it the "Bruce Bag." The more minds searching the better, I always say! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lippy Report post Posted March 9, 2011 The Saddle Tool Dude's link doesn't work anymore. Do any of you know if he has a new leather tool website? What he had was a really nice start to a leather tool history database. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtwister09 Report post Posted March 10, 2011 Jeeperaz, Web archive can be your friend "sometimes". Unfortunately many times the archive pictures are not stored with them. In fact you almost always get a data retrieval error when there's issues with pictures. Likewise many sites have put in requests not to be archived or have webcrawlers or robots scan them. Take a look at archive.org's website and you can see what the gotchas are. Likewise many times pictures are stored on an imaging site like Photobucket and when they are gone all the references are dead as well. It's the same thing with leatherworker...if the photos aren't stored here then when you delete or move around your imaging site files then it makes a broken link here as well as other sites.
