CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 28, 2021 CFM Report Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Tandy is having a sale on some stuff i saw their fine diamond chisels are 50% off so picked up a couple.

Members Silvyr Posted November 28, 2021 Members Report Posted November 28, 2021 Yeah I picked up some crafttool 3mm fine diamond chisels the other day from tandy online. Shipping got delayed, but I'm in no hurry, got leather and tools coming from all over #blackfriday sales. ALSO for those interested Thin Black Hermann Oak Veg | Springfield Leather its 3-4 oz black herman oak sides for $65. I talked with the CS and they basically said it was ordered in a size thickness they don't normally carry so they're selling it on the cheap as its normally about $240 a side. Quote

CFM tsunkasapa Posted November 28, 2021 CFM Report Posted November 28, 2021 I didn't see a single thing from ANY sales that excited me enough to spend any money. Not one. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members Sheilajeanne Posted November 28, 2021 Members Report Posted November 28, 2021 I got a couple of modelling tools at 1/3 off. They were right opposite the cash register. I managed to refrain from going any further into the store... And of course, now, just 2 days later, I find I forgot to look for sewing thread to match my current project! Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted November 29, 2021 Members Report Posted November 29, 2021 Speaking of thread, Tandy sells exactly THREE colours of machine thread! That SUCKS! Where can I get a wider variety of colours for a leather sewing machine? Quote
Members Handstitched Posted November 29, 2021 Members Report Posted November 29, 2021 Tandy no longer have a presence in Oz . That sucks. We do have suppliers, but theres some things we just can't get. HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?

Chances that any of them would be close enough to go visit in person are pretty slim, so you're stuck with ordering online anyway, at which point you may as well order from the other side of the planet. It's not like AusPost is faster than international couriers. It's cheaper, but AU pricing on the actual leatherworking items will make sure you lose all that difference (and more, a lot more). 19 minutes ago, Sheilajeanne said: Speaking of thread, Tandy sells exactly THREE colours of machine thread!
