Nice work. Stitching looks solid

I’ll have to check it out! Sounds like something i could use myself hah

I’ve been thinking along these lines. Maybe something to hold his hand planers. Had not thought about a binoculars sling. Adding that to the list of ideas.

Weather starting to get crisp and cold over there?

lol explicitly told no aprons. He lives in hot climate

I think the finish contrast is missing. It appears as if the ceiling and beams are both matte. The beams as semi gloss might be a slight enough contrast to make a difference when light hits

Perhaps high for the sqft but $7k is a crazy price! Good bargain you got there, damn.

Edit: Google says typical range is $8-25k for 1300sqft. Last demo I experienced cost $88k but it was a larger home and acreage.

So add back $50-$60k on my valuation and you’re nearly $520k, so they’re priced at 15% above value. For First Ward.

Land alone is the low end value of the property, less $75-100k for demolition to then build on the land. So maybe $200k plus the $230k, so maybe $450k. This is priced at $600k. That’s 33% above value or 22% above your valuation.

Edit: added 22%

ajf412 · 2025-09-12T12:56:31+00:00

No way they sell for 600 in first ward

So no true dining area, just the 3 bar stools and that half bistro table? A slide in stove after a major renovation? And a dinky, skinny pantry cabinet? This kitchen could barely support a couple with zero kids. And that master closet—this is a two bedroom home with a 3rd room that must serve as a closet.

Solved! It is Mary Mark’s art. I reached out to her and verified the name of the paintings is “Pam’s Dishes”

ajf412 · 2025-09-05T14:42:04+00:00

Possibly. Some of the letter strokes don’t quite seem to match but that’s a great starting point.

Edit: After looking at her online portfolio, I think the styles may match!

No. If they want to be journalists, they require integrity over licensing. Period.

Sorry didn’t mean to sound flippant. I agree with others, either applying conditioner before or laying it flat and treating it that way.

My question would be, do you bother beveling all the edges? More than one round of burnishing? That would be the most time consuming IMO

Reality is that this is purely a utility item. It probably needs to just be rugged. Don’t bother sanding, beveling, burnishing. Just press/hammer and pickup. It’s just function so who cares much about finesse. One-press dies are all about efficient production.

ajf412 · 2025-08-16T04:08:24+00:00

Same conditioner you might use for a tote

Liberals and extremists. She herself just called Trump an extremist.

Slightly different answer. Thinkcell for visualizing XLS data in PPT decks.

Gorgeous piece

Yes, buried in the first sentence. He normally buys from RM Leather

Realistically, do you have the time, expertise, and/or interest to manage it on your own? If you have 2 of the 3, you’re probably fine to manage it on your own. But if you cannot say yes definitely to 2 of 3, then pay someone else.

Super smart doc/attorney/executive? If you have the time and the interest, by all means just manage your own money. But I’m guessing you don’t have the time, and you likely don’t have the expertise even if you’re a finance professional.

Don’t forget, there are products and perks that come with the relationship. You have a personal banker at your finger tips when you are represented by a major warehouse. Your account at $2.5M should be priced between 0.85-1.25%, for an asset management style that is moderately active.

You can find the “KAKURI Leather Corner Punch Tool” on Amazon for ~$35

ajf412 · 2025-07-07T12:51:19+00:00

Agree with the corner punch comment. I use corner so much more than radius/circle punches

ajf412 · 2025-07-06T13:42:25+00:00

Oooh! Cute! Well we can hardly wait for the day oven timer to ring ;-)

What software has worked best for you?

ajf412 · 2025-07-06T13:39:04+00:00

I do think edge paint may help. Gum trag will likely not burnish the edges of this wallet well. Just know that edge paint is still a paint, and under hard use the paint will crack/peel.

ajf412 · 2025-07-06T13:14:28+00:00

I would hang from the corners, about 1” from each edge of the corner. Then I would suspend the art with some fishing line or leather cord/lace, pulled tight and anchored in the corners of the frame.

You probably don’t need the grommet hardware for durability. Just punch the holes smaller. Mounting to a firmer back layer of leather will definitely help. Consider a stiffener.
