"kits" For Sale

[particle]

Pete - I'd probably charge $40 for just the plain wallet with no tooling. And like billymac said, at least $60-$80 tooled. Heck, I charge an extra $60 just to tool the reinforcement piece on my holsters. But, I agree you can only charge what the market will bear. If you're happy with the price, that's all that matters! Maybe you should crank out a bunch of simple ones for the local folks, then make some nicer ones for the Eureka Springs tourist crowd.

I agree pete...60-80 for the tooled ones...the economy is bad, but go try to find a table at a local restaurant on a friday or saturday night....as a while, we may not be as rich as we were, but were still plenty rich....dont sell yourself short...

Thanks for posting ! Great ideea ! You made me grab my camera, take few pics of the pannels of the wallet i came up with few mts ago and put them up for sale on Etsy as a DIY kit . I had a bunch of them cut and were collecting dust on a shelf...

Like some of the guys here said , don't sell yourself short !!! Your product looks great and it is unique...not to mention the work you put into that tooling.

Cris- He uses a 40 w laser but only uses enough power to cut cleanly. I would either increase the hole size or, what I do, is case my leather and lightly scrub with a sponge. It takes off the charred flakes. I wax my sinew too and it doesn't seem to pick up any black when I sew.

Hope that his helps.

Please see http://www.pslac.org/public/03_mar13.pdf (page 6) for an article on James Polson and his laser demonstration. He said: "...found that using some light tack paper over the leather help keeps the burnt leather dust from getting on the non-lasered leather to aid in clean up.".

What if I had a pattern already and wanted it laser cut

[pete]

My partner is away until August, he has the laser but if you send it I'm sure that we can cut it for you.

Send it to

psa2@suddenlink.net and I'll pass it on and get a price as soon as I can
