wassomeoneelse Report post Posted October 24, 2010 Hey! I am fairly new to leatherworking. I got into it after I started making sheaths for a few of the knives I make. My interest has grown over the last two years. I am hoping that there is someone or a group out there that I can get with from time to time and work on stuff with. I have the capability to make basic sheaths for my blades. I would like to expand my knowledge into more intricate work on them. If there is anyone out there who is willing to share there knowledge... It would be appreciated. In return, I have the capability of some basic blacksmithing, nice beltsander, stones, and other items of metal working. Thanks for letting me ramble. Any information would be appreicated. Thanks Bryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Years ago, back in the 70's the Tandy store on Government St. in your town was the only lesther supply store I new about. Nice to hear from a fellow leather worker so close.
