yep.  still learning, hence only three.  pays about the same as supply teaching, without the stress, hassle and fag-free zone.  :laugh:  you'd be amAZed at the weird things people want to wear...  ::)

Are you paid piecework or do you mean something else? I used to be paid by the square foot installed sometimes really good other times it really sucks

'Green' Leather Is In This Season


Quote
Science Daily — Fashionista's after the latest in leather bags could soon have a 'greener' selection to choose from. Scientists in India have modified the tanning process making it far more eco-friendly. Tanning is a complex chemical process used to transform perishable raw hides and skins into durable leather. Unfortunately, as a result, high levels of pollution are released into the water.

Raghava Rao and his team at the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) in Adyar have modified the process to make it into an eco-friendly, cost-efficient method.

The researchers found that simply reversing the order of the tanning and post-tanning steps can drastically improve the process. By also promoting non-chemical-based pre-tanning methods, they have reduced the amount chemicals released by 82% and made an energy saving of nearly 40%.*

According to Rao, "The significance is tremendous in the context of environmental challenges being faced by the leather industry". Most importantly, no loss of the leather quality was observed when compared with conventional tanning methods.

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I just got back from a long night walk with a little reading in between. It made me feel a million times better, because this whole week I've been really claustrophobic and I haven't slept well.
