I started in the 1980"s with some friends. We never tried anything complicated or detailed. After I got transferred I left the tools and supplies boxed up till recently. The key holder was one of and maybe the first project for me. I recently found a renewed interest, have added some additional tools. I bought some pre-cut belt straps to make a custom gun belt. I've been practicing on some leather pieces I've had since the 80's. That has sent me a strong message that a whole lot more practice is needed before I do anything serious. I've watched a lot of you tube instructions. One thing I was convinced o is that I needed to give up the bucks and buy the Barry King Mauls. I got two from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply. (16 and 32 oz 149.98). I do find them to be much more useful than that old leather one I bought long ago. I'm looking forward to sharing leather crafting with ya'll. Thanks for the add!
