bikermutt07 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Posted February 21, 2018 I can be nothing but blessed. Thanks, guys. Quote 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.

Members koreric75 Posted February 21, 2018 Members Report Posted February 21, 2018 I agree, as a military guy my biggest worry is if there is a decent leather supplier near. When i was at ft huachuca, the folks at the tucson store always treated me great, and now that i'm back in bossier i'm happy to see they're there. I used to go to the store over by I220 exit, not sure if it's still there, but have been to the one next to shane's ALOT already...lol.

He gave up the Tandy license about 4 years ago. And he is getting ready to retire. One thing he does real good on is he always has plenty of dye colors to choose from. We should get together and visit sometime. I live just up the street from the Tandy store. I would love someone to talk shop with. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather.

I liked the older couple that worked in there, I bough my first starter kit there years ago. I need to run down there next time I'm in that area and drop in before they close up shop. You read my mind on getting together, I always enjoy show and tell and trading notes etc, just need this torrential downpour to let up some Quote Machines currently in use: Cowboy 3200, Adler 67-372, Singer 66, Singer 15-91

Rockoboy Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Even with all their inadequacies and poor quality leather, I still wish we had a Tandy somewhere closer than 4000kms.

Is that like 20 miles? Quote 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.
