Thank you. Got some scrap light weight and heavy weight leather from SLC so I can practice. Ironically, until 2010 I was living near Springfield, MO and now I'm up 45 minutes from Fargo where the owner of the SLC once lived. A few more years from now my wife and I will be retiring in Missouri. Looking forward to that. In the meantime, I've got to get to practicing on my scraps so I can take it to the next level.

Great looking coaster sets.

I think the stamp maker did a great job based on the image I see.

Thanks for the welcome Rodney.

Hi folks. I just wanted to drop in and introduce myself to the forum members. My name is Douglas and I am beginning (again) to start leather crafting, something I had begun around 1995. I had spent my youth watching my dad craft leather and he was very good at it. Well, when he passed away I inherited all of his tools, about 6 chests of stamps, skivers, pinches, lace and just about everything else under the sun including thousands of rivets, screw in posts, etc. So while I am well stocked in equipment, what I lack is the expertise in using it so I joined this forum as a continuance to my leather crafting education. I have perused many topics already and I am impressed by the both the level of craftsmanship I see but, perhaps more importantly, I am impressed by the professionalism and encouraging support I see members giving one another. Thanks for allowing me to be apart of this forum.
