Members tnhomestead Posted July 8, 2015 Members Report Posted July 8, 2015 Hey, unlike these videos I have watched on you tube, where there 2nd or 3rd holster is perfect, glowing and just fabulous, I make mistakes when learning! LOL So what do you do with projects that are functional, look decent, but are not at the level you want to sell? Already have too many holsters(hard to believe I know!) etc tec. Hate to just throw them away, and really cant afford to either. Appreciate any help and suggestions! Quote

Members DavidL Posted July 9, 2015 Members Report Posted July 9, 2015 give em away? or trade them for a case of beer... Quote
Members DavidL Posted July 9, 2015 Members Report Posted July 9, 2015 I use a scrap of leather and practice everything I would do on an actual item. Its very similar to almost anything you practice, when it comes down to the thing you trying to achieve, its shows you your errors and where you need to improve. Quote

Members johnggrg Posted July 9, 2015 Members Report Posted July 9, 2015 The worst work that leaves your shop is the quality standard you will be judged by. This is a very true statement. Like Halitek said keep them to remind you of what not to do next time. John Quote
Members cgleathercraft Posted July 9, 2015 Members Report Posted July 9, 2015 Don't put your mark on it if it's not up to your quality standards! Mark it as blemished or second grade and sell for a discount or make a trade - that case of beer mentioned above is always a good trade.

Members johnv474 Posted July 15, 2015 Members Report Posted July 15, 2015 They can be sold as preproduction samples/prototypes, without any makers mark, for instance, at a discounted rate. "Factory seconds" sort of thing. Quote
