Tandy Doodle Pages

Recommended Posts

Sam, this is an old thread. TLF owns the rights to the Doodle Pages, so digitally sharing them without permission is not possible. I will get my daughter to catalog my paper collection this summer and be glad to give away any duplicates to anyone who is interested, but I won't sell any because I didn't pay for any of them. Maybe if you have friends in high places at Tandy, they will give you a copy of the infamous CD? It's a real treasure, packed with nostalgia and information from some of the most respected artists in the business, dead and alive, front and back scans of all the Doodle Pages. If Tandy would publish it, I would tell anyone who wants to improve their leatherwork art to buy it. But, AFAIK, it's not available at this time.

I am but a simple man. I do not have friends in high place and never claim to have them, but I am never afraid to ask! Let me do some dog work and maybe I can track down the right person to ask permission. It never hurts to ask! At least that is what I teach my children. In exchange for trying, I would love any duplicates that you may have and I would gladly pay for shipping and handling. Thanks for the offer....you're too kind!

As for eBay, if what was said earlier, eBay would not be in existence if reselling your items was illegal. There are some sellers on eBay now that are selling books on CD's and they thousands of feedback ratings! So....I don't know.

Ms. Jo: I'll get busy on this like a one legged man in a '_ ss' kicking contest and get back to you via PM.

Tandy offers them as a free download now.

By individual pages, or by collectors groups.

I just got done downloading all of them.

I know this is 10 years old, but it showed up on a search I did for something else so I thought I would comment.

I was searching for a reason the doodle pages were discontinued.

If anyone knows, please share.

Thank You Kindly.

The Leathercraft Library site was absorbed into Tandy's new site a bit ago, so here is an updated link if any are interested:

Leathercraft Library — Tandy Leather, Inc.

The site has pretty much all of what was on Leathercraft Library; PDF's, videos, etc. and it appears it's still free.

Same. This is real gold.  And just fun to look at and remanence.     Knowing everything is virtual and CD's DVD's are no longer a thing, any more (I can't even remember putting one in the computer let alone the DVD player) I wonder if Tandy would reconsider repackaging these up somehow, maybe as a larger compressed file for download (for a "convenience" fee, I'm sure)

I'm downloading ALL the Doodle Page Sets. 43 in total, 25 done so far. You never know when something on one of them might be of interest or be needed so best to have them all. Or, as children's toy adverts used to say ' Be the first on your block to have them all!' And it costs nowt to get them. After saving to my computer I'll be saving to a DVD and a pen-drive as back ups

Time for another cuppa whilst I do the next 18 downloads. By the way, the set doesn't say on its PDF what it contains so I'm copying the contents off the Tandy website and putting them into a 'word' document

@fredk I am furiously downloading these, too!   I wished these were in some sort of order instead of being randomly placed but, what they're a free download so I guess I can't be a choosing beggar!  :yeah:

I am in contact with the webmaster at Tandy and gave them a list of broken links.   Maybe these will be fixed, soon.

Excellent. An obvious thing to do in which all we others failed

Late to the conversation but trust me, Tandy will sue.  I worked for Radio Shack for 10 years, a company called Auto Shack started up and within 6 months Tandy sued over the name and won.

When you work for a large corporation like them, your ideas become property of the main company. 

Another example, my father held a number of patents for cans and worked for American Can Company.  These products made millions of dollars,  Dad was taken care of but ACC made all the profits.

For WHY will Tandy sue?

They are the ones offering us the Doodle Pages free for our use

If you try to sell their property.  If you give it away that's not a problem.

But no-one on here is Selling Tandy patterns or passing them off as their own.

You are looking at a question raised 15 years ago and basically resolved 11 years ago.

It is quite legitimate to compile the Doodle pages on to one CD or DVD and sell that to cover the cost of the disc but with no profit element for the pages and with recognition that the pages are Tandy's

A quick update:  I ran through all the broken links that I shared with Tandy and only the following is not working.  I will bring this to their attention and I have no doubts it will be fixed, soon.

CRUSADER-STYLE OVER-SHOULDER SWORD CARRIER PATTERN
