HI all!

My name is Jerry. I make pizza and barely scratch out a living doing it. I hope to move back to Phoenix soon and get a better job,(not many jobs in a small town like this), and be closer to my kids. I have 4 incredible sons who will be living with me soon (hopefully!) . I went to school to be a mechanic and apparently I could have made better use of my time and money. lol.

Anyway, I have always liked leather and leather products, the smell, the feel, the look, and just recently decided to give leatherworking a try. I love working with my hands, i love art, and somewhat mechanically enclined, I also love the idea of being able to make something useful and beautiful out of natural materials. So I got the Tandy deluxe kit and and a pound of scraps, and for the past two weeks I'v e been practicing my swivel knife technique. I also purchased Paul Burnett's realistic carving downloads and am practicing what I learn there. I absolutely love it!! I plan on starting one of the projects in the kit soon and I will post pics when it's done.

I also want to express how awesome I think this website is, and all the people who lend their knowledge freely. It is truly humbling to see such generosity!

Well, thanks for reading this far, I hope I haven't bored anyone too much! See you in the forums! God bless you all!
