Tandy On-line Library - Special Price

Recommended Posts

Tandy keeps an on-line digital resource of thousands of their old template/patterns, tips sheets, ideas from some of their tutors eg George Hurst. They even have digital copies of some of the Al Stohlman books and other books. Prices ranged from Free and upwards, many in the 99c and $1.99 brackets

Recently I was keeping a load of these patterns and tip sheets in my 'basket'. Cost was to be about $40. I was waiting on a decent $ to £ rate before buying.

Last night I went to buy them and found the system had deleted the 'basket' contents. I put the patterns I wanted back in, but the Library pages were slow in loading, up to 1 minute to change a page!

But I discovered as I went along the hours [literally, hours] to go thru the Library and put the ones I wanted, plus more, was well worth it.

All the patterns et ectrea are FREE,   ~ as of the time I write this. (15.25 BST August 10 '19)

I've no idea if this a temporary offer or what.

Check it out for yourself:  https://www.leathercraftlibrary.com/

But remember the website is running very slow right now, but after you buy the download of the pattern is as fast as your own computer allows

I spent HOURS doing this yesterday and late last night! Well worth the time it took.

Being retired has its advantages...lol!

My one regret was all the previous downloads I paid good money for were now available for FREE! :rolleyes2:

yeah but, no but, yeah but. . . . . look how many more you can get for nowt.

I'm now adding up a list of pages which were on the extreme verge of interest but worth getting now

I think it took me about 5 hours last night. Started about just after 22:00 hrs and ended shortly after 03:00 this morn

Sure enough -- it says free.  Gotta be a glitch, I'll check later to see how long it takes 'em to shut this off ;)

Some of these I bought THREE TIMES... years ago in paper form.  Then again when some of this was stolen. Then again when they became available in digital.

No glitch!  Celebrating Tandy's 100 year anniversary and 100 years since Al Stohlman's birthday.

Website is sure slow, but it is working.  Server has reset a couple times while I've been putting stuff into my basket and checking it out.  It recovered without losing anything.

Thanks also for the heads up! I've availed myself of a ton of ebooks and patterns which I would otherwise not have been able to afford! Very generous of Tandy to make this available.

Thanks for the tip, Fred! I am downloading and printing a few books now. I resurrected an old black & white laser printer that has been gathering dust for 5 years and plugged it in and away we go!

Thanks so much for the heads-up Fred!  I downloaded three projects and two Stohlman books and it only took me a couple of minutes.  Perhaps the website had lower volume this morning.  At any rate, I appreciate Tandy offering this to us for free and for your pointing it out to us!

I just flipped through the Stohlman book on making leather cases and it is fantastic.  So glad to have known about this!

I hear ya!  There's still a "few" more I'd like to download but haven't had the time!  I did do a printout of what I downloaded so at least I know which ones I have.  7 pages worth :)
