Members steelhawk Posted September 18, 2011 Members Report Posted September 18, 2011 I figured you made them. Are they all for you, or for others? Quote www.bearriverholsters.com
Members SgtGing Posted September 18, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 18, 2011 I figured you made them. Are they all for you, or for others? Sorry, not firing on all cylinders today I guess. These are for sale or have already been sold. Quote
Members Rayban Posted September 18, 2011 Members Report Posted September 18, 2011 Nice work! I'm also of the plain and simple...as long as they work and last a long time! Good job. Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net

Members bluesman1951 Posted October 28, 2012 Members Report Posted October 28, 2012 Very nice ,well done . I have one question : When one achives a master level of craftsmanship does life get any easier in this trade . This is as good as any factory stuff I mean that as a compliment its just plain good . My question is does it put enough money in the wallet to live like a master of your craft ? My compliments on some very fine projects . Bill Quote

Bill Well, let me start by saying that I am nowhere near master level, but unfortunantely, leatherworking is a trade...and tradesmen, will never get paid a wall street salary...some here, like Lobo, is incredibly successful, but like any successfull person, he works his tail off and is always looking for ways to make something better, like his welted pancakes and avengers......others, like me, do this because we enjoy it and it usually pays enough to send off to Kevin at Springfield for more tools and leather...lol...So, i dont think it gets any easier, but doing a job you enjoying doing is worth quite a bit...

Thats sad very sad indeed .I am sitting here waiting on call to make a delivery . Work has been done for a week and the buyer is a putz so I am waiting to be payed . If that fool dont get his act together Ill sell it to some one else and he can wait a month or so till I feel like making it again . I am getting real sick of the song and dance . I used to like this now its a business and I want the money so I have to perform . Tired of being the dancing monkey doing a jig for pennies . I have maybe 5 years left before I cant do this any more . I have threatened to walk away many times and I must say I am looking forward to my last day at the bench . I was under the delusion that if you got really good things got a lot better . You just gave me a big reality check with your words . Thank You ! If its still tuff when doing your quality of work perhaps I should see about food stamps as it appears my future is a bit dark . My work is a long way from yours . I am grateful for your response and your honesty it will change my direction for sure . Bill Quote
