BillinOK Report post Posted February 7, 2010 I have been doing leatherwork on and off since the mid 1970's. I work full time (and still not retired) and have tried to do leatherwork in my spare time. I mainly build holsters, but do other also. I found this site about a week ago and I have been reading posts, learning new things along the way. I am very interested in learning new (to me) techniques and seeing excellent work done by the members here. I'm here to learn and someday maybe help others. I hand sewed for years until about 3 years ago when I purchased a Tippman aerostitch. My hands and fingers thanked me, until I sewed my thumb one time. Thanks for such a great site to learn from!
