Hello, New Member Here

I didn't see an introduce yourself column like on the iforgeiron.com site, so I figured I would post here.

New to leatherworker.net, but not new to leatherworking. Just a hobbyist, not in the business. My Mom started back around 1950, and she taught me when I was responsible enough to use the tools. I taught leatherworking at Scout camp for 4 years, and I have always had an interest in it, even when I was not doing it. Over the years I have accumulated a lot of equipment, as well as a lot of duplicates. As I sort through it all I will be putting some of the stuff , like the extra discontinued 3D stamps, up for swapping.

I am running into Las Vegas today to pick up an Adler 70-30 that I bought last week. Not quite sure why I bought it, but I did. Figured I will get some use out of it, and I liked how the head can rotate 360 degrees. The price was right at $685, so I can probably recoup my cash outlay if it doesn't work out for me.

Other hobbies include, but not limited to, blacksmithing, welding, machining (what I do for a living), photography, ceramics, cars, drawing, and a lot more.

With that quick intro, and my first post out of the way, I hope to further my skills in leather. Maybe enough to make the leather trench/great coat that I have always wanted.

Welcome to the site. There is lots of information here for everyone. If that sewing machine you bought is in good working order you got a bargain, I think.
