Hi to all,

My name is Mike. I'm new to leather working, and found this site whilst searching for info on leather. My primary interest was to make an IWB holster, which I did on my own. Then I found this site and discovered that chrome tanned leather is just about the worst choice I could have made. So I'll be unstitching that holster, and remaking in vegtan. The holster is the first thing I've ever done in leather work, and the second was a pic of a friend's Arabian:slammerpatch003.jpg:whatdoyouthink:

I find this type work very relaxing and rather satisfying so I'll probably keep doing it. I look forward to being a part of this community....and trust that I'll wear out this keyboard typing questions!!! ;)

P.S. I've been informed by my boss, er...wife, that I'll be learning to make tack for her...and her friend...and some other people she knows....

Uh-oh - looks like you better put "Learning to Make Tack" at the top of your "To Do" list! :biggrin:

That was the first thing I learned to do - a good skill! Looks like you are in for some fun times!
