chestercheeto Report post Posted February 3, 2009 Hello everyone.I`m a newbie from Canada.My Dad passed away and I inherited all his leather tools and stuff.I was going to sell it all...but months later I decided to give it a try.So I`m learning the finer points of leathercrafting and learning from mistakes.I`m sure I`ll get better as time goes on with practice.I found this great forum and have been reading over all the wonderful tips and looking at all the great work from everyone.It`ll be awhile before I get as good...lol. Glad to be here..thanks all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillB Report post Posted February 3, 2009 chestercheeto, Welcome to the Forum. We have a great group of folks here that are willing to help. We have all had our "First Project" so when you feel comfortable, share some of your work with us. If I may ask, what type of leather work did your Dad do?
