King's X,Timd and Hellfire Thanks so much for the welcome, I appreciate it. Small world, I live 2 mi from Indian Echo Caverns and have been to Cabela's. Bass Pro is 20 min away. been to Shady Maple a few times, good, but I can't eat that much. And I actually did the Yuenglin Brewery tour a long time ago. Stitching, moulding and construction are also my main goal at this point. I doubt I'll have much to offer on forum but am looking forward to learning from all the talented people found here. Thanks again for the welcome.

Timd I am 20 min east of Harrisburg, in Hummelstown PA. Actually I have been to the Tandy in Harrisburg and the staff was helpful. Do you think the Gold card membership is a good idea at Tandy. I can't remember if the store carried all the items listed in there catalog.

Glad to have found this forum. Really impressed with all the great info and the talent . It is really kind of intimidating for someone just getting into working with leather. Just hope I am not to old to start another hobby. I see I have a lot to learn. I have decided to concentrate on stiitching and molding first. I have a few tools someone gave me, that's what got me interested. My first question. I have decided to buy a gold card membership to either Tandy or Springfied Leather as a start. Which company would you recommend? I'm within driving distance from a Tandy, but I also liked the Springfield website. Many Thanks, James
