Members ssitko87 Posted April 24, 2012 Members Report Posted April 24, 2012 Howdy and hello! I'm an apprentice blacksmith form Utterson, Ontario. My interest in leatherworking came from playing a game called Belegarth and seeing leather armour. We had a customer come in to the forge some time ago asking about a chandelier. He wanted leather and rawhide incorporated into the design. Neither myself or my boss had used leather with metal work before so we were quite excited about the idea. Yesterday we visited Tandy Leather Factory in Barrie, and I picked up some books on the subject. I was blown away by that store. So here I am. I'm excited to learn more and start the project! Quote

Members Vantramp Posted June 26, 2012 Members Report Posted June 26, 2012 I'm an apprentice blacksmith form Utterson, Ontario. Welcome! Very cool! I want to set up another small forge to do some blade work soon. It has been many years since the last one and I am thinking the time has come! I look forward to seeing how your projects come out! -Mike Quote
