Olemanjake Report post Posted March 5, 2013 Newbie here. I never imagined wanting to learn this craft to be perfectly honest. After a week in the hospital and now with limited activity for the next several months I needed something to do. I remembered the leather keyfob I gave to my dad when I was a kid and thought it would be fun to do. So, I ordered a kit and got to work. I enjoyed it so much that I want to learn more. Never imagined the patience, and art involved in the process. Truly enjoy it and hope to learn as much as I can from the good folks here on this site.

Olemanjake Report post Posted March 7, 2013 @Spartan - Bro, I'm military too (10 years USMC, 8 yr break, 7 years AGR). My health issue is a result of military service and other things. Glad you found something like this as did I. It's going to be quite the adventure if you ask me. I expected to be doing leathercraft about as much as I expected to be doing Yoga. I do both and thoroughly enjoy both. @Benlilly & robertmeco - Thanks! I spent several hours into the wee hours of the morning yesterday surfing this site and finding links upon links to different videos and galleries for many projects I intend to tackle. Like this site already.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
