Tesla Ranger Report post Posted June 11, 2014 I'm originally from Texas but I just finished getting my Permenant Residency in Canada. So I've been diligently working on turning leatherworking from being a hobby to something I can do as a living. I started working leather about five years ago to suplement some wood carving I was doing at the time and I've kept doing it ever since. It's been interesting to learn the craft doing one project after another and I kept a blog to keep up with what I was learning. I'd run into these forums every so often when I was trying to pull together a pattern or draft for a project, most memorably when I built myself a workbench a couple weeks ago. I got my PR a week or two ago and since then I've been pulling everything together so I can use all this leather-y goodness to supplement our usual income. I've got a little Etsy store I'll be opening in another month or two and I'm looking forward to seeing how well that works out. So howdy all! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tesla Ranger Report post Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks. =) I spent yesterday building a lightbox and should be taking some photos with it today if all goes well. I'm still figuring out how to camera beyond which end to point at the target. Having sufficient lighting should be a plus I reckon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tesla Ranger Report post Posted June 14, 2014 Neighbors indeed! Howdy. =) This may be a bit of a goofy question but I'm used to get email notifications when a reply is made to a forum thread I'm following. I haven't seen an option for that on these boards but I'm guessing that's one of the "additional features" that come with a subscription? I'm trying to subscribe anyway but have some business to sort out with PayPal first. Apparently they disapprove of having a US-based PayPal account when you're living in some place that isn't the US.

HippieLee Report post Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I'll take a look at my settings - i get the notifications and I haven't done anything involving money Yep click the drop down on your username up at the top right click on "my settings" on left side go down to Notification Options and manage all that from there. I have auto-subscribe checked. I don;t remember specifically picking that when I signed up so it might be the default. You might want to make sure your email program isn;t sending the auto notifications emails to your spam folder. Add this site to safe senders list.

Tesla Ranger Report post Posted June 14, 2014 I went back through my settings and noticed that little box. I also noticed that I was getting notifications for another thread I was following, so I'm betting that was probably it. Thanks. =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
