Thanks! I love old buildings. But then, I was born in '53, so super old is relative. 

Hey, another '53er! And I live in a house that was built sometime in the late 1800's so no, 1950s does NOT qualify as 'super old'!

True, and in if you go to Europe, everything in the USA is young when you compare some  a lot of the buildings.

Everything in Canada, too... ;)

The town I came from has more than 1000 years of history.

@nstarleather I would love to have a wander around your warehouse... Do you charge for guided tours? :Lighten:

There’s a closed shoe factory near me that’s bigger than your warehouse with approx 50 to 100 pallets of shoe leather just sitting there going mouldy. I bought about 30 hides but I only do leather as a hobby at the moment and cant store anymore. :(

That sure is a pretty purple.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

What a shame you are so far away! I am sure many of the people on this board would love to have some of that leather! :(

Yes had to have it made up Le FARC does nice leathers at a decent price if you’re willing to do 3,000+ feet.

EECH OUCH OOOOCH!!!

Wow! This thread just surpassed the Topic in views! ... in three months. I never get tired of seeing the spaces, and I know for a fact there are a lot more to be seen. Who cares if its neat and tiddy!? The mess is the best, it becomes a find the cool stuff game.

I sent Johanna an email awhile back about pinning this thread. While I don't think it'll go away anytime soon, I think this is less a thread and more of a topic and I hope it sticks.

I know... I’d love to buy loads of it and sell it on at a good price to others but I don’t have the storage (or cash). The other thing is, it’s all chrome tanned, it’s beautiful leather but I have to paint all the exposed edges.

WOW !!!!   You can add me to that list  Sheilajeanne .  I'm in Australia , and  I wish I could just " pop in "  and grab a few dozen hides . (Theres something to be said about the transporters from Star Trek )  I'm sure I can make space. ( pardon the pun ) 

I could easily use that leather for a wide variety of projects........me and just about every  other user on here ha :)  The purple looks striking.

What NSTAR said... but of course now we're addicted to the topic.

So much leather...so little time.
