Hey everyone,
Loving the forums. Have been lurking in the background doing some reading and checking out everyone's work. FIgured it was time to introduce myself. Name is Scott. I'm from Massachusetts and 26 years old. Decided to get into leatherworking while browsing the internet and finding a belt that I really liked. It was $130 for a very, very simple design. I thought to myself that I could make something like that for a fraction of the price with the same type of quality. A few hours later I came up with my first belt, and while I may not quite be at the same quality of the belt I would have purchased, I'm far more proud of it. Anyway, I'm excited to continue on with this hobby and see what things I can create.
A picture of my first completed belt. Haven't gotten into carving or anything yet. That's next. I wanted to get a feel of working with leather and putting it together.
