Thats great, for the rest of us who don't want to walk people to our drawer, or upload it to an email every time we want to show a photo, there is always image hosting.

LOL took me two seconds. But as i said to each his own.

@DebHop Its sad to see so many leather outlets, cobblers etc. closing down.  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   :thumbsup:

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.

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.

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.

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
