Hi, I am writing to introduce myself. I am a very new to working with leather and have spent the better part of a month reading this forum and many different topics.

I have a deep appreciation for the lovely English hand sewn leather works and have fantasized about being able to create some myself. To that end, I have been spending my time glueing pieces together and training myself to hand stitch. This led to practice cutting even squares, finishing the edges and hand sewing them. My ultimate goal would be to build an oak and leather gun case, But I am years away from that.

My history with internet forums is to be a reader and not a poster. I mean no disrespect by that. I have learned a lot from all your generosity in posting. I can now look at a sheath on some of my knifes and understand how they were put together, for me that is step one. Step two is training my hands to do the work.

So here I am.

It's a great forum, you'll be surprised at how your leather interests will unfold. I started making knife sheaths, and now? Well, just click on my link below.

Good luck with your leatherwork.
