Killerkaney Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Hi everybody, I have been lucky enough to be watching a master at leather at work for over 10 years before having a go back in 2003 under instruction when I made some kit for work. Other than the odd pouch I didn't really do anything until last year when I made a camera strap for a colleague. That went quite well and I seem to have the bug ! I recently finished a belt that I posted on the show off thread, and I am going to try and concentrate on belts for a bit and hone my skills and hopefully sell a few ;-). I love working with natural materials although my original background is in engineering and metal. I use the end of a table in my kitchen but I am planning to expand slightly. I recently made my own saddlers clam out of some old oak whiskey barrel staves that has turned out nice. I look forward to swapping ideas and opinions and looking at some lovely work ! Have fun and be happy ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killerkaney Report post Posted February 9, 2013 Hmmm never thought of it like that.... Perhaps some stainless steel chaps with suede tassels ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
