I live in Portland but work just outside Nashville, so I've got a good territory to cover if no one else has claimed it !

Thanks Luke. I've seen the books on Tandy's site, but I'm a cheatpskate. I guess I'll have to get over before too long. I'll check out the other two as well.

Hey everybody. I love this site so far. I just got started in leather work about 2 months ago. I bought a cheapo kit from Tandy. After completing a couple of the projects in the kit a couple guys at work asked for belts. So far I've made and sold 5 belts and have 3 more to finish. I have been loving every minute of the work. (Not to mention the extra money in my pocket.) I want to eventually want to broaden into other areas like wallets and maybe some purses. Any way, I love the site and look forward to learning a lot from the masters here.

Hey everybody, I just happened upon this forum looking for belt patterns and let me start by saying I have seen some beautiful work. I started leatherwork about 2 months ago when I got a basic little kit from Tandy to play around with. After completing the coin purse in the kit a guy at work asked me to make him a belt. Then another guy, and another guy and a couple ladies for their men. So far the belts have mostly been basket weave and another little "braided" looking pattern I found and a couple names. I want to do something that is a little more wow worthy which is why I'm looking for new patterns. I'm sure there is a specific place here on the forum, but do any of you have a good place for belt patterns or templates? I'm looking more toward oak leaves and such. I like the floral stuff but all of my clients to this point have been men, or for men. Thanks in advance for any help, and I can't wait to get a lot more help from this site as I continue to dig into some of the older threads.
