I have not heard of Hardtke, are they like Tandy?

LeatherCollector: Thanks! @ leatherwytch : Thanks, my next project is a quiver, might put a Native American style thunderbird on it. @ Thor: Yes but is the 25x60 looking ones, 3/2 no garage, space is limited as you can imagine but we're happy...can't wait to have a concrete floor though. @ Calvus...small world! My parents live in just north of Crowley in the Carson Ranch estates, behind the school bus Depot on Crowley Rd. I currently work at Lockheed as an IT contractor. Do you know of any other place besides Tandy to get leather and leather supplies around our area?

Hello all, my name is Micah and I'm a 32 years old guy, married with 3 dogs and 2 cats...and a live-in Mother-in-law and her dog. I live in a 1978 trailer (until my wife graduates) on 2 acres which looks out on my fellow rural neighbors, who have cows, horses, longhorns, donkeys and a massive buffalo that my wife and I have named "fluff-a-low". I only recently started working with leather about a week ago. I have always adored the smell and rustic, durable charm of it but never worked with it. I live in Weatherford, Texas but work as a computer tech in Fort Worth (I hate computers but it's easy). I love to cook, shoot guns/bows, I have a decent amount of experience in the traditional arts and find leather work very similar to both drawing and sculpture, two of my favorite activities. My goal for leather tooling is not specific but I'd like to make some motorcycle seats, maybe vest or gun belt. I look forward to my future in leather and happy to have found the vast source of knowledge in this site.
