I don't think this kind of appeal belongs in "Show Off." You might ask to have it re-posted in "Leatherwork Conversation." Edited July 11, 2021 by LatigoAmigo Quote

Members DustinSmith Posted July 11, 2021 Members Report Posted July 11, 2021 You'd probably get a much better response if you specified a reward and left out the part where you're trying to get a bigger shop for example start a kickstarter for wallets that you produce, show lots of pics of the product and then list 1 or 2 or 3 wallets depending on the contribution your backers pledge. Most people aren't going to pledge money to a kickstarter campaign unless they feel like they're getting something tangible out of it. The way you pitched it sounds more like a gofundme, just my humble opinion Quote

Members Blackjack21 Posted July 24, 2021 Members Report Posted July 24, 2021 I spent years building the shop I have............buying my tools and equipment and never would dare to ask fellow crafters to fund the building of any of it. Shame on you. Quote
