'those Who Can't Do, Teach!

[Luke Hatley]

We have arrived!

I can already feel the stresses of the outside world slipping away.

Just stumbled onto this thread; funny as my 9 yr old daughter had a project this week to give a speech and teach her classmates how to do something.

Naturally she chose how to make a leather wrist strap. I could not be at her presentation due to my work, but my wife said all the kids had fun.

Hi Sand. I have your box packed, two figure stamps, 2 hole punches, 3 stencils, and rawhide. I found all of it surprisingly enough. Hope you have a great time this summer. Will be mailing Friday. Cheryl

How goes camp? Are you having as much fun as the kidlets?

I'm teaching archery and "reconnecting with polite society", which is what I need to be doing to get my head straight and figure out what the new normal is. OK, It's kinda weird to wake up and get dressed and not holster a weapon on my hip, but I'm slowly getting over it, and this is a good place to do that. Granted soon as I pull out onto the main road I'll be going into the trunk-safe for my .45

The kids are happily pounding leather.

And I'm cranking out wrist bands almost as fast as the kids can make them.

Leather-working has been a huge boon for me as well, fills up my evening hours by the campfire when I can't sleep.

Keeps me from dwelling on combat zones that has been my home for the past few years.
