hukcats1 Report post Posted March 11, 2011 Sorry for lurking without a proper introduction. I am just getting back into the craft after a VERY long hiatus. Something about career, raising kids, maintaining a home, etc., just didn't leave me enough time. Thankfully, the job I have now gives me a little more time. I am a husband to a beautiful wife and a father to three fantastic kids. One's heading off to college next year, the other the following year and the third is just entering middle school (formerly known as junior high). I love doing woodwork, playing golf, cooking, baking and now, added to the mix, is leatherwork. Once again, hello and thanks for a great forum.

BillB Report post Posted March 11, 2011 Howie, Welcome to the Forum. Many of us have been down a similar path. You will find a lot of friendly folks that are interested in Leather Crafts. Look around, listen in on the conversations, join in on the ones you want to and most of all have fun. The coffee and donuts are free and are located down the hall in the corner. Do you know what type of leather craft you are interested in doing? There are lots to choose from. When you have some pictures, please post them so we can see what you are doing. If you are not familiar with the site, the Critique My Work and Show Off forums are good places to show us what you have been doing. There are also forums for all sorts of different types of leather crafts in "Tooling, Stamping and Carving Leather" and in "Specialty Leather". Again welcome to the Forum BillB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again welcome to the Forum BillB Thanks for the warm welcome. I am generally interested in making personal items for family and friends (wallets, purses and such) but will soon try my hand at holsters as we are a family of shooters (a tough thing here in Maryland....home of the Brady Anti-gun faction) who will be getting involved in IDPA. I have searched around the Forum and have followed many conversations. Quite a lot of experience here and I am always happy to learn something new. Again, thanks for the warm welcome from chilly Minnesota. Howie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
