sorethumbs Report post Posted April 1, 2009 Hello! My name is Jim, I currently live in NYC and have a major passion for leathercraft. I've been working with leather for about 20 years. I've done everything from tack and repair to more "adult" projects. I've done it for hobby and for a part time income off and on over the years. Mostly I do it to keep both my hands and mind busy. Most of my hobbies incorporate the use of leather in one way or another. I participate in Mediaeval reenactment/recreation and do a fair amount of leather projects for that. I am deffinately here to learn/share and am looking forward to new and interesting things. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
