Hello David, Hello Bill I thank you for your warm welcome The last years I worked as an bookbinder. But now the time is come to change the tools. The basics of leather carving, modelling, work with craftool stamps, leather dye, how to make round edges and some other works, i have learned in workshops by René Berends in Munich. Sewing by hand and all the other steps to produce a finished piece, I will learning by doing. This is only possible with the help of the books of Al Stohlman and certainly I need sometimes the help of the members of this forum. Various leather cases I want to do. Useful things. I will speak up if the first part is finished. But first there is practice practice practice .......... and read many many posts and looking for the right tips for me until my eyes are square.

Ich grüße alle Leatherworker In 2001 I bought 3 books of Al Stohlman, a few leather tools and some leather. It was the foundation for my dream, but I had no time for such work. Meanwhile, I am 61 years old and can finally start working. But better now than never. I appreciate it very much that here the professionals to share their knowledge. Many thanks and best regards from Bamberg in Germany Konnie Es freut mich, nun ein Mitglied des Forums zu sein und nicht mehr wie ein Geist durch die vielen Beiträge schweben zu müssen.
