Nixon66 Report post Posted October 21, 2007 Hello all, I have been browsing the site and I am so glad I found this place. I am sure it will be of great help to me. I have always wanted to do leather work and finally took a Tandy class about 6 weeks ago. I need to get good relatively quickly because I want to be able to do high end knife sheaths for a friend's custom knife company. I also have an interest in motorcycle seat making and generally any leather project that I see and think "I can do that." Any who...glad to be here. I will be writing often.

Regis Report post Posted October 21, 2007 Welcome Nixon66. This is a great place to get help starting and growing your skills. And, best of luck with "need to get good relatively quickly ". A lot of that will depend what you already can do and on the level of detail you want in the sheaths. Plenty of bonified experts here that are willing to help.

Rayban Report post Posted October 21, 2007 Hill Country!!??? I'm from there, Comfort, to be exact. Welcome aboard Nix, you'll learn a lot here. And look up Paul Long in Kerrville, he's a Major Leauger sheath maker, and a really nice guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
