Doktor Report post Posted June 11, 2008 Hi y'all My name is Doc, I am a retired U.S. Army medic and am currently living in South Carolina. My only previous claim to artistic (verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry limited) is some primitive scrimshaw work on my own and a few others powder horns used for my percussion rifle, and my flintlocks. I have done some assembly of leather craft stuff,with minimal tooling on a couple of projects that Mom thought were "wonderful" (moms are supposed to say that, it is like that $2 bottle of perfume that smelled like old dead flowers, we gave her for mothers day, and it never seemed to run out.) I don't have a good source now for those horns anymore, and it isn't nearly as "satisfying" as pounding out frustrations with a mallet and some tools that cut things up. I am pretty much interested in many of the different aspects of the leather hobby, but my current focus is looking to put together some miniature holsters for some of my NAA revolvers. Other parts of the hobby, naturally, become involved, ie tooling, carving, dying, y'all know far better than I do what will become part of the overall end product. Some other things that I am variously involved with, church ministry through motorcycles, amateur radio, shooting both primitive and cartridge type firearms, volunteer work at a local museum, and others that aren't being remembered. LOL Thanks for a great forum. Doc Doc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abn Report post Posted June 12, 2008 Welcome, Doc. Great to have you here. I sure do love your state... Nothing quite like kicking back in the Lowcountry and enjoying the warm surf, a cold beer, and the palmetto trees swaying in the evening breeze. -Alex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
