Hey All,

Been browsing this site for a few months now, looks like a great group of knowledgable people, willing to answer questions. Beatiful work on here, too!!! Just figured I would chime in as a newbie. I made a checkbook cover for my wife as my first craft. Bought the kit from Tandy, and hope to do amazing things someday. I will have LOTS of questions soon, so please be bear with me..... I am looking to do carving, lacing, molding, etc. for motorcycles and hot rod stuff.

Keep up the beatiful work!!

Heya Tom, and All~

Another newbie from WA state. I hate to admit it, but I've been doing leatherwork off and on for over ten years. I hate to admit it as my work does not show ten years experience! I'm a hobbyist at best, but truly do enjoy it - at times. On a whim I picked up the professional (or deluxe, I'm not sure) kit at a second hand store years ago. As you can imagine,the deep discount I recieved the kit at has been completely offset over the years. As a bonus however, I now receive request for handmade gifts. So it has paid back a bit~ lol. I've attached pics of a biker toolkit I completed (Not from a kit). I'm never happy with a finished project as I see my many mistakes. Seeing pics of great work and learning new tips is what has kept me coming back for more! I'm happy to have found a place with so many truly skilled that share their tips and tricks.

Thanks!

Erik

Hey Tom; I just joined the site myself (just now) and you are my first post or reply. I am from Washington too, Snohomish to be exact. There sure is a lot to learn, but remember we all pretty much start at the same place.

I am in Structural Engineering by main trade, but I also ran my own custom leather shop for close to 20 years. I am just returning from a self imposed break from leather working because of a bad case of burn out. But I am fresh and ready to get back in the game.

It looks like there are a lot of great people on this site, and If there is anything I can help you with, just ask. Heck, if your in the neighborhood, stop by the coffee is always on.

Keep it fun.
