Yes, believe it or not, Game of Thrones is not an actual series of events. Im sure you are just as disappointed as I was when I first learned this. But don't let that deter you from watching the show, Or even better, reading the books. I am very new to Leather working and I am excited and ready for the journey to Master Leather Crafter. Right now my skills are very subpar, and I would consider myself still an apprentice at best if I had a Master to learn from (I don't). I have only been at this hobby for a few months and only very recently started to get serious about it. I feel I am progressing rapidly but am always looking for the next step to perfecting every detail. Some day I would love to make this a work from home career that some day my to young boys ( 2 and 6 months) would be able to help me out with. Last year I left the Navy and my job as a Corpsman for the Marine Corp and really struggled to find my place in life. I'm not trying to write a sob story or anything but I struggled to cope with PTSD and leaving a job that I felt made a difference in the world. Leather working has really helped me in that regard. I really hate putting out poorly made gear, so I am on a constant quest for perfection. Each new project is better then the last, but I still have a long way to go. I would love any criticism or guidance/ mentor ship from the masters in this community. Any help or tips on starting up my own business would also be very appreciated. Thanks, Doc Mac "...I have found, in brief, that all great nations learned their truth of word and strength of thought in war; that they were nourished by war and wasted in peace; taught by war and deceived by peace; trained by war and betrayed by peace; in a word, that they were born in war and expired in peace."
