I hear of old saddlers , cobblers, leather workers etc. retiring or passing away, but no-one in their families are interested in continuing the trade. I have a very old Tandy listing showing all the leather outlets , resellers etc. across Australia , there were so many, but now they're all but gone. Tandy opened up in NSW here in Oz a some years ago, and they have gone too now. Theres only one outlet of leather & tools in Perth now , my supplier, approx 3hrs away from me, where there used to be several outlets years ago. But most of my hardware is purchased online from the east. All the ' olde' traditional trades' are disappearing . Sad . Thank God for this forum & the people on it, I've learnt so much HS HS, I'm now ordering roo lace from Australia, and it's taking months to get it because of everything going on. Cost is steep but I'm still glad I can still get good quality roo lace so I'm willing to wait--don't have much choice. Certain supplies like roo leather is very short her in the states. and I agree with you, most of what I learned, and much of my inspiration; I've gotten right here on the forum. Quote

What? Why? Did you try Austanners or DSHorne? I buy roo from those two regularly and it usually arrives in 1-2 days from payment. And last parcel i sent to Europe, just regular mail, was received in 11 days despite COVID. Quote

Not sure because both of them offer products and services that are not listed on their websites, so it's worth emailing Angela and Samantha to ask the question. They always have kangaroo skins so it's quite possible. sam@austanners.com.au angela@dshorne.com.au Quote

CFM Frodo Posted August 13, 2020 CFM Report Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I stopped using Tandy when they went stupid with the shipping price Seems some dumbass decided that the shipping cost is $12.00 no mater what you buy. I wanted a simple pattern and the cost was like 5 bucks All it is , 2 sheets of paper in an envelope, When i got to check out. they wanted $12.00 shipping , I do not mind paying reasonable shipping cost but I will not stand still for **** I deleted my account and have not been back. I buy my leather from http://springfield leather and most of my hardware from http://steckstore Edited August 13, 2020 by Northmount Language Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
