mattyg 1,862 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Received a package this morning containing some top class leather work..... £40 would be a great price if you wanted a a good handmade leather collar and lead. SS stuff is also great value if that's what you like but I like a good bit of leather! Cheers gaffer. P.s. Not a penny exchanged hands so I'm very greatful for that aswell! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyg 1,862 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Any pics of Fred at 9months wouldn't do justice to the fine work, but I'll show you the end results when he is finished being a twat and can be sensible! Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slip lead 862 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Shame that, I was very pleased with my slip lead, and would of used you in future, always hard to get good leather work made to measure. As said above I would of paid £40 and still thought it cheap . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnight 657 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Sorry to hear your packing in Kev . As we all know Iv packed it in a few times to ha ha .. That's the beauty of craft we can change products over night . The big downside for this sort of work is the constant investment in equipment and materials I reckon . You have to make clear profit to do that , but to be honest and fair (and to get the business) we all ask to little for our products . So it becomes a tread mill , I sell cheap to keep money coming in but my "profit" is as little as £3 sometimes (more often than I want to admit) so I have to reinvest all the money to make the next batch . On and on it goes ... The only people we can blame for that is us I supose !!! It's hard to stay motivated sometimes in that situation .. It's a shame you can't advertise locally for saddlery repair , I think most saddlers used to make there living stitching little bits back together . My cousin is a master saddler and she just sells saddles now , and another lady I know does exactly the same . I would think there is a wide open hole for repair if the few saddlers left are mostly selling new tack on commission . Just an idea . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
