New To Leatherworker.net

Recommended Posts

I have been doing leatherwork on and off since the mid 1970's. I work full time (and still not retired) and have tried to do leatherwork in my spare time. I mainly build holsters, but do other also. I found this site about a week ago and I have been reading posts, learning new things along the way. I am very interested in learning new (to me) techniques and seeing excellent work done by the members here. I'm here to learn and someday maybe help others. I hand sewed for years until about 3 years ago when I purchased a Tippman aerostitch. My hands and fingers thanked me, until I sewed my thumb one time. Thanks for such a great site to learn from!

Hi and welcome to Leatherworker.net. We're glad you found our little corner of the internet. There's lots of members, both amateurs and professionals, who'll be happy to help with any questions you might have. Ask away, and enjoy one of the friendliest sites on the 'net. And, since you've been working leather for such a long time.....we'd like to see some pics of your work! There's a little tutorial on how to post pics in case you have any problems with it. Grab a seat at the tooling bench, Johanna will have the coffee brewing in a little while.

Welcome to the forum! Please share your work. Oh, and picture of your thumb stuck under the presser foot. Just kidding.
