Members OrchidNoir Posted August 5, 2011 Author Members Report Posted August 5, 2011 Thank you bentley, King's X, and capsterdog. I haven't made it to posting more because I am still slowly working through and chewing on all the wonderful information here. Bentley, yes, very much so, and a lot of bike like remembering. I am a proponent of the search function in forii, and so far answers have presented themselves for me via that method, but I can say in all earnest that from what I've seen in my crawling that I have no fear of posting a question here that I can't find an answer for already posted. ;-) It is so rare to find a forum that doesn't require the donning of iron knickers in fear of posting a "stoopid" question anymore, this site is a breath of fresh air.

Thank you :-) Yes, that is a picture of me, when I can keep my hair that purple I do, but they like to discontinue the color or the entire product line as soon as I find a product that works and is the right color. lol I love that photo of them, too, it makes any day instantly better to pull it up and look at it. The tools, well, I was angry for a long time over those, I was young, I grew up and realized that those tools would never compare to what he taught me with them, though, and finally let go of anything more than wistfully wishing I had them. If he could be proud of me for sticking to my guns on liking my hair purple and fighting the schools to keep it way back when (yup, the picture is much newer than that), as old school as he was, I like to think he's proud that I'm not letting anyone take the leather away from me, either. BTW, it's too hot to even work on my leather, so I am tending to , sorry. rofl I was here for the 80's heat wave, this one can be finished now.

Billy P Posted August 11, 2011 Report Posted August 11, 2011 Welcome to the Forum. I know what you mean about losing someone and the leather spark getting low. On Christmas Eve 2008, my good friend and leather mentor passed away, we never got to meet in person, but we talked on the phone and emailed each other several times a week. Kind of hard to meet when I am in South Carolina and he was in Cal. I am just now getting some of the spark back to work on some stuff. It takes time, but hopefully you and me and the rest will get back to carry on this wonderful obsession of leather work we share. My God bless, and keep us all.
