Members FrostFell Posted September 9, 2011 Members Report Posted September 9, 2011 First off thanks for havin me. I am a dog breeder and I want to dabble in collars and leashes on the side. I live in Moses Lake WA, and am trying to start out with some cheap colored suede lace. Hi! Quote
Pounder Posted September 9, 2011 Report Posted September 9, 2011 Hello Frostfell Welcome to the best darn site for leather workers anywhere, bar none. Leashes and collars can be a good side business but might I suggest you start with something besides "cheap". I have found if I use cheap, it looks cheap. I am sure you do not breed your dogs cheap. Anyway, that my two cents for what its worth. Hope to see some of your work soon and again welcome. Quote

Welcome Ask around on the forums for advise on your project ideas there is a mass of experience here to offer help. Cheap is good to practice your skills but by the time you've spent an hour making something you may feel spending a little extra on the outset is worth it, cause you maybe able to charge more, but only if you finish the projects. Be prepared to loose a few to mistakes and make some prototypes for friends to hone your skills. Ask here for advice we have all been there and spent money we didn't need to on kit we have never used so ask first buy later!! Happy hideing pip Quote
