To say that I am sprung on all things leather you would be close to the truth but I am afraid it is much deeper than that. I have enjoyed reading some of the interaction here and have found it entertaining and informative. I am excited to continue and participate and learn. I make the joke that I am the worlds most accomplished leather craft buyer as I have around 50 hides in my workshop of all sizes, types, thicknesses, and finishes, a full compliment of tools, hardware, and accessories, a Toyota fsb325 sewing machine, and am waiting to take delivery of my new Consew P1206RB this Thursday. I do not know how to sew other than my hand stitching that I have used on the 4 heirloom pieces that I have made out of new leather and Denim from my recently deceased girlfriends collection of jeans.
I am really wondering where I can go to find out about conventions involving the trade and industry of Leather.
