Members Cogs Posted January 19, 2011 Members Report Posted January 19, 2011 1+ years tooling. 40 years ago I took a 4-H leather class with 2 brothers. One brother has stayed with it and does very nice high end work. He's my inspiration to taking it up once again. I don't sell. Family gifts consume most of it. I just enjoy the 'Me' time. My leather room faces a pretty little river where I enjoy a shot of Jameson, listen to Merle and pound some leather. It's peaceful. It works for me. I don't always follow the pre-made designs. I seem to come up with these ideas, search for photos that come close and sketch them into something I like. It usually turns out okay, depending on how much Jameson I had! :} I have a lot to learn. This web site is already helping me in many ways. Thank you. Blessings to you all, Bill Quote

Members Cogs Posted January 25, 2011 Author Members Report Posted January 25, 2011 Love the cartridge belt! Cool! Crystal It's what my 12 year old wanted on his belt, but buying all those bullet concho's would be rather spendy, so, I came up with a fair compromise. Thanks for chiming in! Bill Quote
