Members WmWalker Posted March 25, 2012 Members Report Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Greetings everyone! My name is Bill. I'm in the Air Force and make military grade gear. I recently decided to get more involved with leather. I currently do a lot of work with Tactical Nylon; custom, original, repairs, and upgrades. My interest in leather came about two ways: First, I make custom Rigger's Belt out of parachute buckles and webbing. The belts started out as very tactical, then I made one for a friends wife in vibrant colors, from there they have turned into a stylish and functional piece of everyday wear. Because of the positive response I thought that Leather would add another dimension to what I'm already doing. Secondly, I was making an original knife sheath to fill a gap I find with the current military equipment. Because of the positive response I received from the leather/cordura knife sheath, I concluded that there is a lot of other military style "pieces" that could really benefit from leather. My interest goes well beyond military grade gear with a leather spin on it. I'm also a guitar player and an avid shooter, as I have seen many of you also are! I'm here to both learn and contribute. I look forward to participating! Edited March 25, 2012 by WmWalker Quote
