Hi,
My name is Dale Prezgay. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have done a little bit of leatherworking in the past but am starting to get into it again. I am currently a Leathercraft Merit Badge Counselor with the Boy Scouts of America. I have also held classes for Cub Scout Packs and Girl Scout Troops. I have started to put together some leathercraft tools that I can loan out to various youth groups and provide loaner tools for the merit badge classes I will be teaching.
I plan on starting a non-profit organization that is focused on training kids and teens in the art of leathercraft and provide an outlet to sell their work in order to raise money for their Scouting or other club costs.

Try contacting Tandy corporate. They are pretty good about supporting youth.

I have. They put me at the elite pricing level which is a big help. They have also offered to give me a some free projects to pass along to the kids. I am going to start a Go Fund Me campaign to help me get some of the tools I will need. I also put a posting in the Wanted section of the Marketplace on this site. So I am hoping to get some additional tools that way.
