I am into my 30th year in 'dabbling' with leather and enjoy all areas of it it. I was lucky to have worked at Tandy's and attend seminars with Peter Main and Joe Barth. I was self-taught (using all the Stohlman Books, and now this great forum!) and by Practice-Practice-and more Practice. If there is any 'Secret' to it, it might be.... "Don't be afraid to try something new and always learn a little something from each and every project/practice/mistake. For anyone 'New' to the craft - every single one of us started where you are ! We just have had more 'Practice' at it!
