tanning and leatherwork

#1 Post by bear74 » Tue Oct 11, 2005 3:23 pm

Gday all,
I am trying to source tanning solutions and leather working equipment via mail order as it is impossible to get locally up here in darwin, any reccommendations would be much appriciated.

I don't know about mail order, but our local leather shop in Tassie (can you get much farther away!) is fantastic. They is called Country Leather and they might be worth a call. Very helpful people, good equipment, good prices, good advice (not always suggesting you buy the most expensive when something else is better/cheaper).

Anyway, that is my advice for tools.

I can't help much with the tanning solutions as I have never done that (nor really wanted to much).

Coach
I know its off the track of the post but that is a good site
Managed to find the new Feral Mone Spray Attractant for Foxes & Wild Dogs ,I was reading about it today and wondered how it would go bringing in Foxes and Dogs
At $29.95 for 300 spray doses its not bad
Anyone tried it yet ???
