Members TimDreamer Posted November 13, 2009 Members Report Posted November 13, 2009 Wow, all sorts of people here from Texas. Anyone know of a leather guild here in the Baytown area?

TimKleffner Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 TimDreamer The nearest guild would be in Austin. Give the Tandy/Leather Factory a call. The other one is Lone Star Leather guild in Fort Worth. Give HideCrafter Leather a call. I'm down here in Corpus Christi and belong to the Lone Star guild. How far are you from Corpus ? Give me a shout if I can help out. Happy tooling Tim Quote It's hard to fail, but worse never to have tried to succeed.Theodore Roosevelt

TZHunter Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Greetings to all the Texas folks ! I grew up in Bishop, TX (6 miles from Kingsville, 25 from Corpus) my folks still live there. I worked in Baytown for Exxon out of College years ago. Now am a Missionary in Kenya, East Africa, coming back to south TX every few years for a few months. Still do a little leatherwork as hobby. Can get GREAT Veg Tan leather here for under $1/sq foot. . .wish I had more time for this hobby. When you are 15,000 miles away, It's great to here folks talking about "home" here on Leatherworker !

Members TimDreamer Posted November 16, 2009 Members Report Posted November 16, 2009 TimK, Baytown is on the eastern edge of Houston next to Channelview and La Porte. Corpus is about a four and a half hour drive from here. I appreciate the offer of help.
