alpheus94 Report post Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) HI! I'm Ryan born and raised in Texas but now I live in tulsa oklahoma. Just started back in September of 07. I have been wanting to make guitar straps and wristbands for awhile, but never made the leap. There is a tandy store here in tulsa that my father-in-law discovered so I stopped in and asked some questions and bought some supplies. After seeing several different places on the net about making guitar straps, and seeing the prices of some custom made stuff(400.00?)(wow). I figured i would try my hand at it. I have had a blast so far and even sold a strap i've made! I work with a guy who was quite the leathercrafter 30 years ago when he was in his twenties and he has given me a few tidbits of advice, but I REALLY enjoy the people on this forum and hope to glean some knowledge wherever I can! I am just starting on the carving and tooling side of things and am very inspired by what you guys can do! Pics coming soon.
