I've been guilty of lurking for a bit to get a feel of whats what ladies and gentlemen so I thought it would be a good time to chime in today. Hmmm, lets see, where does one start. Without this trying to look like a full blown bio I'll just begin by telling you all I'm retired (2004) and have had this affair for the past 40+ years learning and doing alot of woodworking related to the 18th century. I guess the big love is our nation's early history and how things were done then. As an off shoot I'm also a big fan and participant in the black powder sports. As a such, I'm always eager to learn more related to the 18th century leatherworkers and what/how they made things. I find working a leather project most enjoyable, yet being challenging. Anyway, I've been learning and reading much for the last couple of years and been active in making leather hunting bags for about a year now. At least between making powder horns and completing other 'honey do' projects, if you know what I mean.
I hope to learn even more and you will find I'll even chime in with some more questions. I'm not too sure I'll have many answers, but I will try.
Here's one of my latest project.
