Hello Folks, I would like to bring your attention and interest to the next Group Buy I will be running , I will be adding substantial details later on and providing clarification on everything . ( Will be editing this page at later date )
Just wanted to kick this off as I have seen some members talking about getting into Leather ( :rolleyes: ) and requiring the basis of a Tool set to start with. Don't want you spending money on new tools if we can provide at a better price via a Group Buy.
The bones of this Group Buy will be a sub £40.00 beginners Leather working tool set with an option to upgrade and change certain components to your choosing.
Available Numbers on this Group Buy MAY be limited , so if interested you may want to form an orderly que.
#### made a few minor alterations to the above to clear things up####

Ditto.
I just shelled out for a few basics, but a GB deal is the best kinda' deal :D
I'd be interested in it, especially if there's a little flexibility and/or upgrade potential.
Ok, Lads good start , bear with me , I want to clarify the basic kit by providing direct hyperlinks for the basic set and the upgrade , once I get permission to do that I will set out clearly everything. Just wanted to get in early and wet peoples interest.
Appreciate you thoughts.
Hi TeeDee - interested for sure - but is this separate to the on-going thread regarding beginners kit?
I'll be interested too TeeDee

I've got some tools already but more than happy to see if there is an opportunity to add some pricking irons, I wouldn't mind one of those awl handles you can swap out the blades by using a chuck, another one or two awl needles and some more leather would be good, some buckles.......the usual kind of stuff :)
Very possibly interested too!
I'm interested, depending on contents/price.
I'm definitely interested.

Thank everyone for your interest, the GB will go ahead shortly and I will update the initial post with the hard details tomorrow -

I'm sure this GB will run again , but want to get the initial one done before Chrimbo period.
nice one TeeDee - if this gets sorted before "then", it'll give me something to do whilst the rest of the world goes mad.
initial post has now been updated.

I'm still interested , but what are the best options to get and the best options to add on ??
I for one could do with some help from someone who knows about leathercraft, as I'm completely out of my depth when it comes to choosing what to get..

Mick , Suggest you have a good look here

The basic Kit is that, it will get you up and running but as with all things , over time you will add to a tool set.
Don't panic , if unsure maybe best to let this 1st GB group proceed and jump on the next one?? Up to you chap , just trying to get this squared away in time for Christmas.

I'm still interested but need to do a bit more research before I place an order. If it's ok with TeeDee, I'll jump in on the second group of 15.
It looks like a lot of work has gone into this GB already, many thanks for setting it up TeeDee, much appreciated.
RR

Yep im ready, but Ill probally place the order Sunday night if thats okay. Im about to jump in the car and go to london for the weekend, so i dont have time to review the options.

BarryG , I've sent you the PP addy , if we reach 15 before you get a chance on Sunday , I'll have to close it at that and get you on the next GB group. If not all will be good.
Trying to be fair to all , hope your good with that.
Never having done leather work before i'm at a loss what to get, i would appreciate some one telling me if i need anything other than the basic kit.
Thanks, Rob

Rob can I suggest you have a look at the link on post 53# , Hope it helps.
This is all happening too quickly!
Quick question from an uninitiate: Al Stohlman suggests unwaxed thread. Does it make a big difference to making the eyes?
im gona saidly have to give this one a skip mabe the next one :(
Hi TD, thanks for that, but its as clear as mud !, sinew choice etc. ?.. I am more than happy to pay/take part in this buy, but just need someone to point out what i need.
Regards, and thanks again for oeganising this.
Rob
Deffinately in on this, I just need to look at the upgrade option. Do I pm you the bits for the order? Can you send me your paypal email :)

I'm in the same position of Man_of_Tanalith and Karl82 I'm afraid. Sorry to bow-out on this one Tee Dee, but I'm a victim of my own eagerness on this one and I'd have too many duplicated items to make it beneficial, having taken delivery of a load from Le Prevo on Thursday.
Many thanks for your effort on the GB though!
All the best.

Sorry TeeDee, i'll have to back out of the GB - it turns out my girlfriend has ordered me some tool s for christmas :)
Sorry to muck you about.
littlebiglane
27-11-2010, 12:51
TeeDee - I think you have done a cracking job sorting this out - and so quickly - I see that this is really based around the basic kit - most of which I have - so I'll back out of this one. But heck, I wish there'd been a GB like this when I bought my basic kit, it would have saved me a fortune! Well done sir.
LBL
Anymore???
Ach, TeeDee I wouldn't take it too personally, these sort of things are bound to happen I'd guess. Hopefully other folks who expressed an interest will post up soon.
Roe Ring
27-11-2010, 16:25
Hi TeeDee, I do want to go ahead, but just needed a bit of time to get to grips with the different items and choices. I was going to wait untill the 2nd group but if you need numbers for the first group then the chances are that the 2nd group won't happen. If you can wait untill tomorrow afternoon, I'll read-up on all the equipment and put my order in then. Can you send me the PP details.
Thanks
RR

Will do tonight Teedee, jsut as soon as Ive selected what i need from the options.
I'll add my gratitude to TeeDee for the effort put in to organising this.
Having finallly taken the time to have a good old look through the list, I'll cry off (the list that I'd put together from the starter thread is different enough that it'll be simpler for me, albeit more expensive, to go it alone).
But again, thanks, TeeDee.

Many apologies, but may I step out from this one, please ? Wife has 'advised' me that perhaps me buying this or any knitting implements at this time of year might not be my cleverest idea ever.

but thank you anyway mate, and good luck with gb.
Hi, sorry about the late reply to this but I've been away with work for a few days. Like many others I find myself strapped for cash at the moment and am going to have to remove my name from the list.
Many apologies again, and good luck with the GB.

OK, via a few PM , I'm now going to close the Initial GB for leather tools. There may be another sometime next year based on substantial interest , if it happens.
Many thanks to all of those people who have taken part in this.

Due to a shortgage of stock being delivered of straight round awls, these will have to be dispatched as and when they are received.
Hope everybody is happy with that.
Many thanks to all people for taking part and a very special thanks must go ( from all of us ) to a certain individual , needless to say this GB would not have happened without their input , determination and generosity.
Thank You!! Merry Xmas The Leather Fairy has delivered!!

Thanks.

OK , Theres no rush on this but this will be the last time I bump it to gain attention of anyone who may have missed it.
After this I will make a call to the supplier.
If there is still space on the GB that can I put my name down too.

Ok , no problems. I have been in touch with the supplier who is sorting out prices , but just be advised that prices from Tandy themselves have risen since last year , so the prices will be up ( a little ) but you'll still be getting what I hope is a very good price.
I don't know if another of these GB's will be run so if you want to get some I suggest you mark yourself down for interest? Also Christmas is around the corner so any people you may think of that would appreciate some new Hobby.
Money's tight but at that sort of discount I would be interested........ :)

Bump - only 2 more needed - winter is coming the nights a getting longer........
I'd be interested depending how much the price has risen from last time. Money's tight but I've fancied trying my hand at leatherwork for ages so If I can stretch to it I'm in.

I don't think any of us are in a tearing hurry or we'd have already been out and paid full wack for this kit.
Plus the more time means more buyers and more bargaining power.
BTW Tee Dee thanks for organising this again.

Any word on the future of this GB?
Any word on the future of this GB?
Hi Redwall and every one else , I have just managed to get hold of the kind gent who did the 1st GB , long story short is that he is very , very busy at the moment and we both feel that it would be better to let people know that this GB is most likely to go ahead in the future but unfortunatley no time soon.:sigh:
Its unfortunatley just one of the things , the gent in question put in ALOT of work for the 1st GB to go ahead in terms of making it clear and easy from an admin point of view and letting every one see a clear cost priced matrix of goodies to make very little mark up.
I apologise to anyone who may feel let down by this or delayed in their pursuit of Leather:rolleyes: , Suppliers willing to offer GB Discount are few and far between so I hope everyone relates to a time that 'life got in the way' for themselves.
So I guess to reiterate THIS GB WILL NOT be concluded anytime soon. If I get a thumbs up in the future I will 're-awaken' the thread and see what happens.
Sorry Folks!! C'est la vie!!!

No worries TD, thanks for letting us know.
I'm off the buy some stuff anyway!
No worries I'm in no hurry and this delay will help me financially anyway. I'll keep an eye out for this thread being re-activated when things are able to progress.

That's cool.TeeDee cheers for trying to organise this GB.
I'm still up for this if it goes ahead in , say, January when your man may be quieter at work.
My spies will be watching the thread! :theyareon
