Aldi are doing a sunday special today.Its a stapler gun and staple puller. I bought one when they did them last year and its a great bit of kit for only £3.99.For this type of thing you would pay loads more.
If you havent yet got one then grab one whilst they have them in stock.
The guys coming to my leather day will be shown a neat trick with it  ;)

Just a thought Paul, if you were to video the event then a few more of us may be able to benefit from some of these techniques, it's a bit far for me to come otherwise would love to, but is always good to have a look at what others are doing!

Dave Liahona sent me a video of rug cleaning last year and it was immensely interesting and informative (sure he wont mind me mentioning it  :))

Just seeing the process in action is enough to give you confidence to go out and do it!

have been cleaning leather for a year or so now and dont particularly find it easy, anything to speed up the process is got to be bonus,

Thats it.
Obviously not going to get the whole day of Pauls teach-in but we could all benefit to a large degree to some of the training and without travelling a mile nor missing a days income.

To state one of our old campaigners for knowledge Ken Wainright, training is not loss of earnings it becomes an improvement to profit.

depends on which way you look at it, I look at this as an investment, I've already had another 4 calls today for work so why aren't I doing the work and getting the money in? I'm swanning off to Wales to improve myself so I can be better and get quicker, I'll easily make the money up when I'm cleaning leather in the future.

Of course its an investment Shaun, completly agree with you.
Did 3 courses myself during 2007 - cost me a few bob, but well worth it.
Just that, if a bit of the demo could be video'd and then put on here more would benefit.
Probably not possible though, never mind.

a Demo is for sales purposes, being there before I'd say it's more like the NCCA hands on experience day but no formal presentation bit and it moves faster because there are fewer there, it's crammed with worldly cleaning techniques, out of all of the courses it's the one I won't miss.

One difference with having a video tho is the fact you can watch it time and again and refresh your memory as to what to do etc,  on most training courses you probably only retain about 25% of it, if that!

Ok it may be not as good as being there and being hands on, but if thats not possible for all then it's the next best thing :)

Steve,
Pauls a helpful sort of guy (he has been helpful to me recently off line), and I think if he could do something on those lines then he will.
We'll just have to wait and see.

Joe, dont think I will be able to set it up to do a video as there is a lot of prep to do all ready and I think that would be a lot of distruption.Its a good thought for next time though.

How did you get on with that little prob you had, any result?

Mike can bring his gimp mask, Shaun his trousers and Dave his whips.

When they are all cleaned up should be a good day, surely someone could video it  ;D
