Aurelie Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Hello! It's been a "wee" moment now since i started to "watch" over the forum and here i am now : jumping in the sea among those big sharks :D Who / where / what?? I am a french girl of 34 years old (almost 35) i started to work with leather...by accident if i can say so... I bought a book from Al stohlman, some tools and started from scratch and from that , i finally searched and found a training into Montana to learn how to build western saddles (Yes , i try to ride horses when i ve got time :D ) I had a great teacher : Dale Moore from Belgrade Montana I learnt a lot (not enough for my taste , i will have to go back and learn more!) Who said curiosity was a default? I came back to France and started my own business I am a rookie, i do not aim to build a dynasty, i just want to built nice sturdy saddles and to have fun while doing it what i like in working leather? you learn something everyday Trouble is : with a baby around and a saddle business, days are too shorts and nights are not enough longs! :D Huh, and since i am a crazy french i decided to go to 19th Rocky Mountains leather trade show next year to try my hand at the debut against the big "bad" american wolves i think i covered the bases for an introduction but feel free to ask any question you want Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King's X Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Welcome to the forum and greetings from Central Texas, USA! You will soon find out that not many of us Americans are big bad wolves.........okay maybe for me big is accurate. Either way, sit back and relax.
