poolplayer Report post Posted February 3, 2010 I started doing leathercraft in the early 90's in St. Pete Florida. There was a Tandy store right down the road from me. I did it for a few years and then just sopped for some reason. Now that I live on a horse farm I am getting into it again. I also play pool and have seen some nice cases people have and said to myself i can make those. Well i am going to make one for myself first and see if i can. I have also worked in a tannery in the late 70's. probably the worst job i have ever had. that was in Berwick Maine for Prime tannery. They sent me and a couple other guys to a plant in St Joseph MO to set up shaving machines one summer. There i got to see the hides come in right from the slaughter house. I was only use to blue sides. that was real disgusting. Anyway I do love this site and look forward to getting on every day. thanks to all of you guys and gals for your expertise. I have learned a lot form you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdb Report post Posted February 3, 2010 Welcome to the site poolplayer! Sounds like you'll find plenty of use for leathercraft skills on the farm, and off duty at the poolhall... There's some great casemakers here, so there'll be plenty of motivation to build yours. It doesn't need to be said, but...we love pictures! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
