We love leatherworker.net too!
There's nothing like a great community in an area. One for inspiration, and mentoring, and of course eye-candy.
We in no way are looking to replace these community sites (leatherworking, metalworking, woodworking, cosplay, drones, etc). We instead are looking to connect them to each other in a place to show off their work when its finished or as it's made, and share a project easily, while still linking back to wherever they like.
Without communities like leatherworker.net, it's all just beautiful noise.
