overkilleather Report post Posted November 18, 2007 Howdy all, I got bit with the bug in middle school. Started several projects but just never finished. just like a lot of other things. Fast forward 20 years. I find those old projects in a box, my Mom had kept them because she just knew I'd finish em if she kept them. I did finally finish a project, that led to locating a friend who had a bunch of tools, patterns and leather. If I would come get them I could have them. Then my grandmothers tools were looking for a home and found me. In that time I have started OverkilLeather.com ( that is not a typo, there are only supposed to be 2 "L"s.) Making mostly small items belts and wallets. I have recently completed a new project, a full suit of leather armor. It contains 3 sides of 13-15 leather and about 160 Chicago Screws. Don't forget if you have any questions just ask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
