No worries, now I know what to tell my local Tandy if they think about moving.

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.

Looking good. I have similar wall cabinets that I picked up at auction. They are Gladiator brand which I think either Home Depot or Lowes sells. I went to an auction for a wood shop that went out of business and picked up 6 of them for $25. I just had to pull them off the walls myself. They were pretty scratched up looking so i bought a couple cans of black and red Plasti-dip and bam! They look like new.

The only problem I have is we are always growing and always out of room. My entire shop, for lack of a better way to put it is a complete and total shit house currently. Going to have to get a much bigger place soon. Currently using about 1700sqft in my house so my over head is zero which is nice but the lack of work space is getting ridiculous. Not to mention our local Tandy store just moved a few blocks into a different building. They did not have room in the new place for the 8' x 4' craft table. It's an awesome 2 lower shelf metal table with the top shelf being 1" high density MDF completely covered with poundo board. It's currently in the garage in pieces because I just don't have room for it

 like how you put some dye on the outside of the bottle so you can tell at a glance what color it is! I do that with dye, stain, glue, etc.

So much leather...so little time.

Not really intentional. I've just developed the habit over the years of throwing on a set of rubber surgical gloves, pouring some dye in a shallow bowl and applying the dye by hand. By product is messy dye bottles as I put them away with my gloves on.

Well, if you do run out you can get WyoSheen from Sheridan leathers.  It's exactly the same as the old NeatLac.
