Well done Pogue44 for taking the time to spend with your Kid, the world needs more Dads like you!
As for Tandy, well if it wasn't for their videos i would never have tracked down a Tandy store an got myself a starter kit and embarked on, what has been for me a very much life altering experience. Yup the people in that Tandy store were sales people and not gifted leather workers like some of the people here and since that day I have found a few other places that equal or are less than what they charge and the staffed with folks whom I call leather gods due to their knowledge and willingness to share knowledge but i do owe Tandy for putting me on the path
