Members YinTx Posted September 5, 2019 Members Report Posted September 5, 2019 Awesome. And your example of giving vs. holding out your hands is to be followed. Nice. YinTx Quote
Members battlemunky Posted September 5, 2019 Members Report Posted September 5, 2019 That's a really nice find and a really nice gifting! Congrats on the new sister. Quote
Members Stewart Posted September 6, 2019 Author Members Report Posted September 6, 2019 Thank you Yintex and Battlemunky. I do a lot of rounds and 4 x6 inch pieces. An some of them fit a piece of history of my family of close friends lifestyles. those go to them. To me, Leather tooling is about reflections of life. Quote
Members maxdaddy Posted October 10, 2019 Members Report Posted October 10, 2019 Stewart, I live about a half hour away from you in Plant City, and have many friends and some kinfolk in Lutz. I enjoy seeing your leather pictorials and if you ever want to meet and chat about the craft over a couple of beers let me know. Quote
Members chrisash Posted October 10, 2019 Members Report Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Looks great, but do people still use cheques, in the UK they are nearly dead apart from some companies Edited October 10, 2019 by chrisash Quote

Until very recently, you couldn't use a credit card or debit card to pay for items bought at an auction, and some auction companies probably still don't take cards. None of the Amish folks I deal with take plastic, with the exception of one wholesale supplier. Personally, I write only a half dozen a month or so, but around here, checks are still a very common method of payment, especially with the 40 and over folks and farmers. Quote

Have to hang around the house most of the time. Quote

Not everyone has computers or smart phones. Just like some of us still have hardwired house phones, Quote
