Chief31794 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 I watch this site almost everyday and see all the Howdy's from Texas, and Hi Yall's from Tennessee, etc, but I never see any one from Georgia. Am I the only leatherworker in the state of Georgia, if so, I ain't marketing very well. If you're from Georgia (Particularly the Southern part, although I'll talk to folks from Atlanta and above) reply and let's get an accounting of where we all are. I'll start: I'm Ken from Tifton, GA, I work in Albany but live in Tifton. Ken Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Mike Craw Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Hey Ken, I'm on St. Simons Island, and my buddy ArtS is up a little north of Macon. That's three of us for sure...

RandyScott Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 I am in Sugar Hill, just north of Atlanta.. Hey Mike, I lived on St Simons a long time ago, summer of '69, during the four months of training out at NAS Glynco before it became the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. Does it still smell when crossing the causeway into Brunswick? The locals always said it smelled like money to them. And if I remember correctly, you have some very large mosquitos in those salt water marshy areas. Quote Complacency Kills

Mike Craw Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Hey Randy! OK, we're one for two. Yes, the mosquitos still have registration numbers on their sides, but either a great enforcement job by Georgia EPA (which I doubt) or a change in formulation and products at the nitrocellulos plant have pretty much done away with most of the smell. I got here to FLETC in 1977 and the smell waiting outside the chow hall (I'm sorry, Dining Facility) was a great weight loss motivator. Welcome also to TimberWolf and TigerPal.

In fact, you work in my home town Born and raised in Albany and just getting started with leatherworking myself. I've completed a grand total of one project, but it was addictive.
