Hello All. My name is Brandon and I am a firefighter looking to get into the art of leatherworking. I am sub-novice to say the least. I have been becoming more and more interested iin this art after seeing some custom work around the firehouse. I would just like to start with making some personal items for myself and maybe doing some stuff for some co-workers in the future. would very much appreciate any tips or hints anyone could give me on getting started. By no means am I asking for personal trade secrets. I would like to start off making a radio strap/holster.
One thing I've noticed is some people making custom itens with patches, logos or emblems. How in the world could I take my department patch and put it on a piece of leather????
Thanks in advance for anything you guys have to offer me. I look forward to discussing things here with you.
