Members Tzalabak Posted October 3, 2012 Members Report Posted October 3, 2012 At the moment I make cell phone cases, Kindle cases, iPad cases and the like. I'm still rather new to the whole thing, so all of my tools are newish and still in use, heh. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 3, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted October 3, 2012 I live in Alabama, and have for a LONG time, but since I was born in Savannah, I guess I can chime in here since I'm FROM Georgia. I've still got family all over S. GA, and also in the ATL area. I don't get over that way much anymore, but you never know.....

Mike Craw Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 I'm on St. Simons Island on the Atlantic coast roughly half way between Jacksonville and Savannah. The only other leatherworker I know down this way is Carlos Lopez who runs the Rancho No Tengo saddle shop in Kingsland just North of the Florida line off I-95. He's in his 70's and doesn't do "on-line" so I don't expect that he will check in on the Forum. Mike Quote My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician.

I know what you mean I used to have every leather working tool you could think of but sold it all about 25 years ago now I am finding my self buying tools a piece at a time and these tools are not cheap. I am going to get started back tooling leather and make some holsters belts and cases hopefully I can get over to tandy and pick up a half shoulder in a couple of weeks.after Iget this Long Rifle I am building finished and make me a stitching pony. i guess for the type of cases you are making you are using 5 to 6 OZ tooling leather? have you been to the store on bonny oaks? the last time I bought leather was when they were down on broad street and not sure if the same people own the store on bonny oaks maybe once I get my garage cleaned up and start pounding on some leather we can meet up sometime, Quote No Matter Where Ya Go There Ya Are.
