drof99 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 My name is Ryan and I stumbled across this site last night and had to sign up. I have never done any type of leather work before and just became interested. This site has peaked that even more. I am from Iowa. I really got interested because I want to make my own holsters. These will be just for my use, not really looking to make a career out of it. I just like to do things for myself and its rare these days to find someone willing to put in the time, instead of dropping a few dollars and having someone do it for them. Not that there is anything wrong with that but its just not me. As of this time I'm really only interested in holsters and belts, but that may change as well. I've got a post in the holster section that I need some help with. I'm working on my first one and will post a pic when I'm finished. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
