Question about membership type

[jaymack9100]

I just read the sticky post where it says, "If you are offering your services as a sheathmaker you are required to upgrade your membership to Knifemaker/Craftsman/Service Provider. It's only fair since the knifemakers have been doing it for some time. This level of membership is the same price as Platinum. A Gold or Platinum membership no longer allows you to advertise yourself. "

My question is, do I need to upgrade my membership if I only sell sheaths that I make and then list?


I've been lurking on this great site for some time. I carve leather as a hobby. My plan is to make sheaths for the knife types that I own, sell them, and use the money to buy more knives to make more sheaths. I particularly like the part about "buy more knives", and my wife is buying this story for now!

If I begin to take orders or advertise, I will upgrade to Knifemaker/Craftsman/Service Provider.

Please let me know because I was going to post a few sheath that i finished yesterday.

Thanks,

John

If you personally make it then you need to have a knife makers membership. Also you can have whatever's left on your gold membership prorated onto your new membership so you're not losing anything.

Okay. I just paid for my God Membership a couple days ago. How do I upgrade and pay with the difference in the 2 memberships?

Thanks

What you need to do is purchase the knife makers membership and then post a new thread in the tech support asking for a prorate of your gold to the new membership.

Thanks leatherman! I've seen a bunch of your sheaths as I've lurked through the forum. Nice clean work with beautiful inlays! I was going to post a couple sheath today, but held off due to the football game.

You could have posted a couple of pigskin sheaths.
