Members Garyspruill Posted October 19, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 19, 2018 NVLeatherworx, Thanks for filling in for me while I was gone. I was out for 3 weeks, Wife and I hit Italy, France, Germany and the UK. Tried to make it to Romania, but planes trains and buses would not work together. I wanted to go there to see this leather factory there, heard they have some great oil tans there with great colors, but just did not come together. Maybe next time. I think I have a good lead on a great paint company in France we spoke of. They are sending me samples of the primer and paint this month. Primer is white going on, then clear to dry. Then paint on top of it with two sheen's. Satin and High Gloss. Thanks again Gary Quote

Like I said, I must have been hungry Most of the colors are off the scale, others, ????? Certain colors that I want, they are fighting with me on. Who would have thought yellow was such a female dog?? I have got to get them to surrender to it, cause in the end, I really want about 3 different yellows total, bright yellow, sunflower yellow and mello yellow. :-) The battle "ain't" over yet. Quote

LetterT It's just an idea put into action. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyone can do it. Where most fail is:not knowing the market and how much cash to put into an idea before walking away from it before you bankrupt yourself. I personally have had to walk away many-many times. Yes, it is fun. Take an idea or market, research the heck out of it, find ways to make it better and more accessible to the end user, walk away from the na-sayer's, build it from the ground up and then: use my favorite four letter word: NEXT! My next project that I am working on: transition plates for cargo trailers. Sounds weird does it not? For those that may own cargo trailers, that gap between the door and the cargo area is never fun. I had an idea to make one with push shocks on it where when you open the door, the plate pushes down onto the door. May be a good idea, may not, may be one that we have to walk away from, who knows?? Keep pushing! The thread company I have had running around in my head for several years now. Ever since I got into leather working as a hobby. Note: I am not an expert at leather working. I learn every single day something new and love it. Yet, I am tired of all the junk thread we have to use or pay through the nose for as it passes through US customs and wholesaler's then on to retailer's to the end user's. I just want a great product, that all can afford. Quote

I know this is all somewhat subjective but I'm open to trying new techniques and such That sounds like nice thread already! For the .8 I will go with either 8 or 9 spi and for the 1.0 I will go with either 7 or 8 spi. I look at each piece and visualize whether it would look better with a nice tight stitch or slightly longer and then just go with it. Quote Richard Hardie R. P. Hardie Leather Co. R. P.

Members LetterT Posted October 20, 2018 Members Report Posted October 20, 2018 I know Americans stand as great entrepreneurs but then I saw Location: TX and it all became clear. I used to work with a guy from Texas, Chris Milam from San Antonio. I know a few years back he war running for the sheriff in Bexar county. He has the same "the world can not stop me" attitude, I loved that guy. Quote
