Hello From Missouri

[builderofstuff]

Just wanted to say hello to everyone here on the board. I just recently became a member here. I've only been doing leatherwork for a short time and really haven't made to many things. I've made myself some wallets, checkbook covers, holster for my pistol, and my most recent project was a little purse for my 8 year old niece. I haven't tried any of the leather kits yet, so far everything I've made I've either designed or used a friends pattern.

I really enjoy braiding leather and I one of the things I enjoy most is making my own lace from scrap leather. All of my projects are made from leather that I get as scraps from a friend of mine, so most of my projects are small in size. When I make lace I use one of the Tandy lace cutters, then I thin and bevel it using a little tool I made here in my shop.

My latest interest is in making leather sandals, flip flops, and simple shoes. Of course I have yet to make any of those things, but I've been gathering information on it.

Thanks. I posted a couple in the show off section. I thought it would be better to post them there.
