leatherhead117 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Hello all! I am new to the fine art of leather work. I am a firefighter and have recently picked up the leather bug from from my daughter's Indian Princess tribe. Kinda like girl scouts only a father/ daughter thing. Anyway I have been reading alot of your posts and picking up a lot useful info. I am planning on eventually trying to make a pair of leather bunker gear suspenders for work. I have been practicing in my off time and an in need of any useful advice. It is truely impressive to see all of the different styles and techniques used out there. I am still trying to decide which is my favorite. I really like Stolman and F.O. Baird. Any how you guys keep up the awesome work, it is an inspiration to others.

anne newkold Report post Posted June 17, 2009 I see your in Fort Worth, I use to live there. Ron at Hide Crafter and Laura at the Tandy store across the street are both great to work with. I am sure either would be more than happy to be of any help to you. The Lone Star Guild is also meeting at Hide Crafter there on Camp Bowie also. Ask Ron about them.

UKRay Report post Posted June 20, 2009 Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! For the past thirty years I have been buying from Tandy and have always had to imagine what Fort Worth is really like. It is great to welcome someone to the forum who actually lives there. Now how about some pictures of what many people may consider the 'home' of leathercrafting? I'd be fascinated to see how it matched my expectations.
