Bonnie Report post Posted March 1, 2010 Howdy all, I'm new here, but, have been working with leather for a long time. I'm no expert, but, I do okay. I'm what the cowboys call "long of tooth", so I'm not telling exactly how old I am now. he he he I supported myself and my young son (now 47... eeeekkkk) by tooling belts for the local rodeo type cowboys. Yes, that was a long time ago. I would cut out, tool, and buckstitch one a day. I usually garnered at least one more order when I delivered a finished one. I stayed busy. Now, I mostly do projects for myself. I am still into my horses, and they need gear, including some harness parts ( I drive more than I ride), and my dogs need specialty leashes sometimes too. Mostly, I find that when I take on a project, it is because I want or need an item that I can not find commercially, and believe me when I say I drive the local shops crazy with my thoughts and ideas. I'm always seeking something that is out of the ordinary. I guess this says something about me, doesn't it? OH MY! Am I creative? Or am I excentric? Maybe both?
