maddhatter Report post Posted August 23, 2009 greetings one and all, i've been lurking around this site for some time now, only to come out of the shadows every now and then, i got into leather working in the early 90's. a friend of my dads took a troubled kid under his wing and gave him a special gift of leather craft, didn't have two pennies to rub together, a young daughter and girlfriend at the time and thought him how to create what he saw. give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach a man to create and he eats for a life time. to him i owe alot too, for what it took to inspire a thick headed kid that didn't know where to turn in life and found a trade and life. i still have alot to learn and many ways to learn them, i've learned alot for the masters on this site and love coming here each an every day to read whats new or see the wonders that they have created and i can only inspire to being one day. thank you all for all the work you have put into this site and making it what it is today, a place for novice or master alike to come and pick each others brains to continue on what we have all come to love, the art of leather working. thanks for listening to me ramble on. maddhatter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
