humperdingle Report post Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Guaranteed somebody else got there first... http://www.likecool....Bike--Gear.html I had a 'eureka' moment, combining my like for all things 'original' Star Wars and my new fondness for leather... A Stormtrooper! How disappointing, whilst coooool to see the possibility. Edited February 2, 2013 by humperdingle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

humperdingle Report post Posted February 2, 2013 You can still put your own spin on it White leather would look cool!! Oh yeh totally... How cool would a full outfit be! I like the look of that colour, though - Would be like a Star Wars Roman Legionaire! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WScott Report post Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) You gotta go for it.....and show lots of pics! On another topic, I am in Canada with Scottish background; was just looking at some leather working courses in Scotland. Any thoughts?

On another topic, I am in Canada with Scottish background; was just looking at some leather working courses in Scotland. Any thoughts? "http://www.leathercourses.co.uk/" Hi, the link seems to show a place in England... Looking at the prices - £440 for a 3 day course - Whilst i'm sure i'd learn lots of valuable technique, I can buy loads of leather and tools for that kind of money. Forums like this and online tutorials seem good enough for novices like myself, at least until I find out if it's worthwhile investing more money in. But yeh... Stormtrooper...

billymac814 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 I think we are very lucky to have Internet and a forum like this, it is plenty to learn from. Without it I certainly don't think I would have been able to learn the trade. I pretty much read the whole forum when I started. I often say that I'm "self taught" but really that isn't the case at all, I had no hands on training but I learned and still learn from those who shared their knowledge on the forum. I went a while without reading or posting but I never felt good about just taking information so now I try to help when I can. Hi, the link seems to show a place in England...

WScott Report post Posted February 2, 2013 Whoops, must have been another one in Scotland -Aero Leather jackets that was what I was looking at but not a course. Ya good points. I have learned tons here and in books. You never know how a hands on face to face teacher will be..... If they are too "my way or highway" then forget it, my personality doesn't allow that and I tune out. Show me some stuff, teach me your ways and I will incorporate what I like and can use in my hands. If I ever do get to go on a European Vacation, my wife wants to do a cooking course in Tuscany and I could do some leather stuff somewhere??? I have the luxury that this is all for fun, not a job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
