andystevens Report post Posted May 18, 2008 (edited) I am new to this site and it is great that there is a place where craftmans can share knowledge. When I started in the saddlemaking business it was tough to find people to help a guy out and when I did I spent a lot of time and money traveling to spend time with them learning. Check out my website www.andystevenssaddlery.com Andy Stevens Edited May 18, 2008 by andystevens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted May 18, 2008 Andy, Welcome to our little corner of the world. Feel free to go back through past topics and add anything to them you see. Nothing closes around here. I would also suggest others checking out your website. Andy is a talent and talented instructor also. I took his class last year at the Elko leather show. I was just out of the thumb brace, hadn't used a swivel knife for 2 months prior, and had some problems with that. The instruction was top notch and once I got home, everything fell into place and my work took another step up the ladder. If anyone gets a chance to take his class, I would sure recommend it.
