OUCH

Wow, this stuff doesn't cost what it used to! My stuff "got away" from me in a break-in, and I'm trying to put my shop back together in the new house. Wanted to get started, but not order EVERYthing 'til I figure how the room will lay out. Spent just over $1000, and haven't ordered any leather yet ...

I feel for you, I'm in a similar albeit much smaller boat. I'm at just over a 100$ spent and all I've got to show for it is three bracelets, a wallet, and two coin purses. I have ordered leather, but just scrap leather and suede. That's about what one of my jobs pays in a week gone on this hobby. Good luck getting set back up.

Dakota, I see the leather addiction starting here. My advice? Run! Run away as fast as you can! If you stick around here you will be assimilated!

Believe it or not my name is spelled DaCoda. Like the Musical term, not the state. :D

I've had an interest in leather all my life, but never the time, money, or space. Now that I'm older collecting two paychecks (albeit small ones) and am moving into a warehouse that my family is renting for their different businesses I finally have the time. I've been interested in tabeltop wargames and terrain for years so I'm used to the expense of hobbies. I just wish I had more money. Don't we all?
