What a wonderful site you have here, and I want to say thanks for allowing others to come and share ideas. I am amazed at the skill levels of some you folks.
I found this through a google search I believe.
And am currently in Fort Wayne, In. But I consider Louisiana home.
Anyway I had done a reasonable amount of leather work years ago and had worked as a stamphand for a few saddle and custom leather shops in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. Then I put the tools down for a long time and because of this site and a couple of others my interest has been rekindled.
I stuck up a website to journal this new leather excursion if your interested.

Again Thanks for being here to help us out.
