    agreed, possum hunters are not getting rich....

    Thanks Billbob....I had a quick look on Tardme, this is what I found for Juki:
    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/crafts/sewing/sewing-machines/search?search_string=juki

    Seems there are a...

    We can buy tanned skins for around $30 it seems, maybe $50 for super nice ones. So there's certainly a nice margin there. Although I doubt they sell many at that price
  4. Thanks all. Yes I already found out her standard...

    Thanks all. Yes I already found out her standard machine probably won't work. Hand sewing is OK for small stuff, but won't work for a large garment.
    BTW, I found out envirofur's price on the vest as...
  5. And now that I think about it, why not deer...

    And now that I think about it, why not deer skins, sheep / lamb skin etc? Any info or sources gladly accepted...
  6. Source of tanned possum skins for daughter's sewing project?

    Does anyone know of a source for tanned possum skins?
    Don't need to be too fancy initially.

    My 16-year-old daughter is a keen seamstress and interested in making clothes, fashion etc.
    So I...
  7. Yeah I used to think that way too, Asian made...

    Yeah I used to think that way too, Asian made stuff I would always steer clear of. But I have actually changed my mind there over the years.

    One of the best items I ever bought was a leather Tumi...

    I went to John Roberts in Milford, seems like a good guy. He says he can glue and restitch them for around $30.

    Cheers, I've forwarded Leech Wood Products to Tuatahi, perhaps they can sharpen their pricing with better priced handles
  10. Interesting, seems like that's the only change...

    Interesting, seems like that's the only change from my prototype. Pinning is probably overkill on an axe like this. More of a last ditch safety to stop the head flying off. Highly unlikely that would...
  11. Maybe I'll send this bloke a pic of the damage...

    Maybe I'll send this bloke a pic of the damage and see what he thinks. Not much trouble to send to Hamilton, and I know plenty of people who drive through their regularly to drop off or pick up. Will...
  12. Yeah they do look a bit non-traditional, but so...

    Yeah they do look a bit non-traditional, but so far work really well, I can't fault the performance in terms of comfort, grip, the level of water resistance I need, and quality of materials and...
  13. Aus business, seems like they are the Aus/ NZ...

    Aus business, seems like they are the Aus/ NZ distributor for the UK main company (who I will be complaining to next). They offered me a full refund (less the cost of sending them back above $22),...
  14. Yes those are exactly what I would have bought,...

    Yes those are exactly what I would have bought, no stock in my size though. The green is actually not so bad, it tones down a bit now that they're getting used. Plus I actually like the lower style,...
  15. Yeah and at the stupid prices we have to pay any...

    Yeah and at the stupid prices we have to pay any repairs should be fully covered including postage
  16. Yeah, I know, they look like yuppie shoes, but...

    Yeah, I know, they look like yuppie shoes, but it's next to impossible to find barefoot shoes / boots with decent grippy lugs and the other features I want. Despite this minor fault, I still have...

    Thanks! I'm on the north shore so not far from me. Will drop in there on Monday
  18. Good cobbler in Auckland? And a whinge about Vivo Barefoot shoes

    So I finally shelled out $470 for a fancy pair of Vivobarefoot boots (https://vivobarefoot.nz/collections/mens/products/magna-forest-esc-mens-botanical-green?variant=41995466932375) after much review...
  19. axe cover

    The cover arrived today, so now I can start using it a bit more without worrying about losing fingers...
    Think I'll get a belt loop so I can keep it handy and hands free when working on the section...
  20. The head on mine is totally solid. I highly doubt...

    The head on mine is totally solid. I highly doubt it would ever come loose. The head is also pinned, which is kind of overkill for a small axe like this, but they use the same methods on their work...
  21. Cool, I'm totally stoked with mine, just need to...

    Cool, I'm totally stoked with mine, just need to get the cover on it, it's lethally sharp and no way you want to touch that blade. Seems to be holding a good edge too, I've chopped all kinds of...
  22. Looking at other pics I think the dark line is...

    Looking at other pics I think the dark line is just where the rust proofing meets the part of the blade where it's been ground. I can vaguely see it on my axe, but there's definitely no damage to the...
  23. Small axe pics

    Attached some fancy pics from Tuatahi224803224804224805
  24. axe pics

    Here are some pics I took of my test axe, as far as I can see its identical to the commercial model.
    It's dirty of course, but was obviously spotless when I got it. And wickedly sharp.
    Looking...
  25. I have no idea, didn't even notice it myself....

    I have no idea, didn't even notice it myself. There is certainly nothing like that on my axe, and I think extremely unlikely they'd release a product with an obvious flaw. In my experience with them...
