You know what bro, the cat who taught me everything I know, I mean everything cause I’ve never changed anything he taught me, told me, I’m gonna show you how to do this, you’ll do it my way while I’m teaching you, then when we’re done, you do whatever you want…. Dude taught me a few core things of leather skills, and told me to kick rocks. That was 35 years ago. Ain’t changed nothing. Been told you’re doing it wrong, etc… no complaints here… thanks bro.

Check out Mr. John Fong. You can find him in the LC&SJ. He writes articles on exotics and their uses, and in the classifieds you can find his contact info. He absolutely does not do the computer thing… so it’s old school. Good man.

I love that design.  Very clean and functional.  A Beauty!

Great story. Maybe that's how it ought to be...learn enough to function under someone and then get dropped like a new born giraffe and start developing your own way, just as you've done. I appreciate everything you share dude, keep at it.
