Hi everone I just wanted to introduce myself. I found this website while searching for info on leatherworking. I've been messing with it for about a year now, mainly making pool cue cases. I'm hoping to get better at carving, I've mainly been stamping patterns on them. Anyway I just wanted to say HI. Rusty Also I'll try to post a picture of a case I made.100_0560.jpg

thanks Ian, It turned out pretty nice, Its 10 oz. leather and all handsewn. I'm working of one now thats got carving all the way down the back, on the lid and on the pockets. I'm really new to carving but figured what the heck I'm never going to learn if I don't try. Thanks Rusty ps I'll try to post a few pics of it.

Rusty,

Welcome to the forum. Nicely done on the case. I look forward to see your first carving project. We all had our "First Project", unfortunately, when I did mine (circa 1970) this forum was not around and I really could have used the advice, constructive criticism and support that the members here provide.

Here's a couple of pics Bill. I really didn't have any carving patterns so I used that one borrowed from tandys website. I really would have liked to of had one that looked more like one long flowing carving instead of it being the same pattern over and over. It's pretty crude but it's only for me anyway. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm really glad I found this site, there's some great stuff here! Rusty100_0695.jpg100_0697.jpg

hi and welcome

Riding is a partnership. The horse lends you his strength, speed and grace, which are greater then yours. For your part you give him your guidance, intelligence and understanding, which are greater then his. Togeather you can achieve a richness that alone neither can.

I just want to say thanks to all for the warm welcome here. And I agree Jordan this is the best leather place anywhere, I'm completly blown away with it. Some of the leather work here is outstanding! I've gotten so many ideas I can't wait to start something else, but I better finish what I've got started first :) . Rusty
