New from Texas

Recommended Posts

The name's Ricky and I just wanted to drop in and say hi. I'm a complete newb at leather working and have no idea where to start, but I know I want to learn. I'll be perusing around the site quite a bit, but any pointers on where to go to learn all the terminology would be helpful. I've been to my local Tandy and got their basic book, but it's not much help. And it's a little bit of a drive to keep going back to for simple questions. Looking forward to learning here.

:welcome: Welcome to the board! This is a great site to get help and ask questions.

I know you said it is far to drive just to ask a questions but, if you are intrestred, there are classes at the local Tandy's and they meet for about two hours on Saturdays. The dates change so you would need to check with one of the three Houston stores.

Best of luck,

Thanks. I know about two of the locations from their website: the one on 1960 and the one in Missouri City. Where's the third?

I live right by that store and Tena and her staff are WONDERFUL!!!! They have nursemaided me thru several projects over the last 8 months or so since I started.

There is a beginner's case on Saturday mornings and a more advanced 'free work' case in the afternoon. Different folks show up to work on their project and share ideas.

Welcome aboard Rick!!

Thanks. Deer Park's quite a ways from me, but I did find the Leather Factory in Missouri City close to wear I work. Thanks for the welcome.
