Ornyal Report post Posted August 30, 2023 Hi! I can't believe I did not find this forum earlier, but I'm really glad that I eventually stumbled upon it! I have been leathercrafting for about 2 years now, and I just love it to the point that I hope I will eventually be able to start a shop and make a living out of it (how unoriginal, I know haha). Anyway, it started out when I decided that I wanted to make my own watchstrap, so I got myself a basic set of tools, grabed cut some leather from an old armchair and got at it! Since then, I've bought many more tools, experimented with a few different leathers, and along the way I have tried different techniques while making many watchstraps, wallets, cardholders, cases, baby-shoes, and a couple handbags. I'll post my project in the "show off section" and link to it here later. My next projet will probably be a cigar case that a friend of mine requested. Btw, English is not my first language, feel free to ask for details if I'm not clear Looking forward to explore this forum! Cheers, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ornyal Report post Posted August 31, 2023 Thank you, I appreciate both the welcome and the feedback haha! You both create awesome pieces too, much more creative than mine. It makes me want to try carving, and I'll probably have a look around the forum regarding this very topic. I hope it does ton require too much drawing skills because it's not my forte.
