Things I've Learned About Leatherworking Last Week

Of course all that's the fun stuff and why we do it!! Cheryl

Or when you've finished a knife sheath and realise it's left handed or a mirror image, or however you want to call it - I think you'll know what I mean

[DoubleC]

Oh LOL I do know that one.

I learned that I should always have my hair up when gluing something. Because it ends up a hair on piece and not cowhide.

LOL, Randi, good idea. I have a dog that provides all the hair on whether I want it or not. She can just look at a project and it has hair on it.

I learned the people at the Allentown store do care and try to help. When they had the blackfriday sales it was in store only. Well being in a wheelchair and not able to get there guess what no sale for me. Well I sent an email and a few days later they called me and said they would have sent my order anyway but the items were sold out. Then she called back to say someone ws going to return the items I needed at the special price , and to be even better no charge on the delivery this time . Two nice pieces of leather came this week looks like a top notch 8 to 9 ounce side too. Thanks a lot Tandy of Allentown I'll be ordering more items now. Silverbullet

What I learned last night is that when using a stitching pony, you want to make sure you have nothing to you on the left and right. Especially not a full glass of water, so when you give the strings an outward tug you punch your glass onto a bunch of papers. Found out that this takes a lot of time to clean up that you could have been stitching. -_-

Be glad it was water and not dye!

Had already learned that lesson with paint, put the lid back on and tightly!
