Just starting out, picking up tools and learning techniques. I'm in need of some good period gun leather to wear around Tombstone (where you can dress like a cowboy and not stand out in the crowd). Working with the owner of a cigar/gun shop there to make some goodies for some of the not so common period firearms. It might just get me some good cigars out of the deal.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to share their experiences, both good and bad. It's been a wonderful aid.
