zman7458 Report post Posted March 3, 2008 hi, my name is phil. I am a 49 yer old union electrician, I have two teenage sons and a wife of 25 years. I was really into leather about 20 years ago, but a house fire destroyed all my tools, patterns and my commercial grade leather sewing machine. after that loss I couldn't find it in my heart to start all over again and I moved onto computers instead. last year I bought my first motorcycle in 25 years so now I find myself with an excuse to get back into leatherworking and I am loving every minute of it. I stumbled onto this site while searching for artwork for a couple projects I have planned. I am very pleased to have found this forum and after lurking around the past couple of days I feel like I have found a comfortable little community of like minded folks who seem to share the same intrests as I. I've been doing some practice peices to try to get the feel of the tools again and can't wait to startwork on one of my planned projects, namely saddlebags, seat, toolbag and travel bags. I look forward to getting to know you all and hope I can contribute to the vast knowledge base you have assembled here. thanx for a great site! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
