Hi to all!
I've just embarked on leathercraft.
I'm also an archer and a couple of months ago decided that I needed a new quiver. So I looked on t'internet and found a couple I liked but was horrified by the price. So, I thought I'd make my own. I realised that I couldn't just launch into this and would need to learn some new skills and techniques. I've begun and have made a passport cover, a bracer and a pair of moccasins so far. I've also spent a lot of money and I've realised I could have bought the quiver I liked at least twice over for the money I've spent. But I'm slowly getting there and am amassing a small collection of tools and materials that will be useful in the future. I think I'll be able to learn a lot here.
I'm really enjoying what I'm doing though and my friends and relatives might just be getting leather goods this Christmas!
