Another Noob

Hey everybody, I just happened upon this forum looking for belt patterns and let me start by saying I have seen some beautiful work. I started leatherwork about 2 months ago when I got a basic little kit from Tandy to play around with. After completing the coin purse in the kit a guy at work asked me to make him a belt. Then another guy, and another guy and a couple ladies for their men. So far the belts have mostly been basket weave and another little "braided" looking pattern I found and a couple names. I want to do something that is a little more wow worthy which is why I'm looking for new patterns. I'm sure there is a specific place here on the forum, but do any of you have a good place for belt patterns or templates? I'm looking more toward oak leaves and such. I like the floral stuff but all of my clients to this point have been men, or for men.

Thanks in advance for any help, and I can't wait to get a lot more help from this site as I continue to dig into some of the older threads.

Thanks Luke. I've seen the books on Tandy's site, but I'm a cheatpskate. I guess I'll have to get over before too long. I'll check out the other two as well.
