Thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking on the forum for a little while now. Your work and encouragement of one another is inspiring to see. I've never done any leather work but I did inherit some tools from a great uncle. Funny I came into the tools in 1987 and I'd never used them but still have them. So it is time to dust them off and start learning. I have just the basic tools..but the wife did let me spend some $ at Tandy last week. Anyway- I live in Ohio and I've spent the better part of the last 6 years in school finishing a Bachelors degree and then grad school. So my hobby was home work. Now that I am done with that I have the time and desire to learn how to do leather work. The tutorials and sharing of your work is very helpful. I don't know what help I can be but feel free to ask.
