Members Grammaton Posted June 22, 2009 Members Report Posted June 22, 2009 I wanted to introduce myself and say hello... I'm picking up again after a twenty year hiatus from leather. I'm very rusty (so are some of my tools) but it feels good to discover that I'm still competent with a swivel knife. I've been busying myself with woodturning during my lapse. I used to make belts and holsters mostly, with the odd purse and checkbook on request. My first recent project was an ankle cuff my wife wears to cover a scar. I can be a bit wordy at times so I'll apologize now to save time later. Quote It wasn't luck. It was a sudden burst of skill.
Contributing Member Regis Posted June 22, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted June 22, 2009 Welcome to LWnet. You must have had a lot of stick-time with a swivelknife to retain that for 20 years. Glad you're getting back and you'll probably bring with you some hepful tips for others. Do you plan on getting back into belts & holsters? regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)

I'm not trying to make any money at this, so belts, probably, holsters, probably not, unless someone asks me in person to make them one like I'm wearing. I used to be pretty good at edge braiding but I'm almost afraid to try now. Quote It wasn't luck. It was a sudden burst of skill.
RawhideLeather Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Howdy! I'm sure you'll find this forum filled with very nice and helpful people like I have. If you need help just ask! If you find you have something to contribute then that would be great too! If you've gotten good at woodworking you could probably think of a few nice things to make and sell to us! Hint, hint....
