I HAVE BEEN DOING LEATHERWORK OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 55 YEARS. I WAS A SCOUTMASTER AND LEATHERWORK MERIT BADGE COUNSELOR. I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY ACTIVE FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS BECAUSE I HAVE MANY DIFFERENT HOBBIES. WOOD WORKING, MINIATURE SHIP BUILDING AND PHOTOGRAPHY. A FRIEND WAS TALKING ABOUT SOME LEATHER HANDLES FOR A TRUNK SHE WAS RESTORING AND I TOLD HER I MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE NEW ONES. I DID NOT HAVE A LEATHER SEWING MACHINE THAT WOULD SEW 1/4" SO I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE IN THE SOUTHEAST GA AREA WHO COULD HELP ME. MY OTHER OPTION IS TO BUY A MACHINE FOR $1000.00. I FOUND THIS SITE AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING IDEAS AND IMPROVING MY LAPSED SKILLS.
