Barry King Tools

"I was surprised to talk with Barry King yesterday when I called the posted number. I requested a catalog as I'm a newby and didn't realize this is a really small business (appx. $88,000 per year, 2 employees). I'm sure it is merely a labor of love as the family business is pretty good sized. My faith is renewed in American ingenuity, attention to detail and family business."

I've found that a lot of the tool and makers are small business' like this. I've had a few tools and saddle hardware made by Jeremiah Watt and every time I've emailed or called, I've talked to him or his wife.

Pro Series tools is also a small business. It's just 2 people also. you can request Robert Beards catalog at www.robertbeardtools.com plus see some of his own leatherwork and what classes he is currently teaching and where.

Not to steal the thread, but just do a search for Beard's tools. I placed a copy of the catalog on here not too long ago.
