dirtclod Report post Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I have a couple. 1 When you ask for help and somebody is trying to help, don't act they don't know what their talking about and blow them off. Because they just might not help anymore when you finally figure out they knew what they were talking about. 2 Don't be one of the people that just shows up when you have something finished wanting the AT A BOYS or GIRLS and are never seen again till you have something else done again.

Jazznow Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Plan, then plan again and if that does not work plan one more time... And try to not forget your plan, when you touch the leather with a tool for the first time. in the beginning I started to panic as soon as I started to cut the leather. It was like oh my god I'll ruin this entire hide, I will have to throw it away... Never actually happened but I still (6 years later)feel uncomfy sometimes when cutting or dyeing. So stick to your plan and be sure you know what your doing. That helps a lot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Reading these posts and thinking one them has led me to another piece of advice... Turn back now, before the addiction sets in! Never mind, it's too late. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double U Leather Report post Posted March 31, 2013 LOL Twin...that may be the best piece of advice so far. In seriousness though, I'd say (at least for me) keep it fun. I know some people in my area who jumped into the biz to make money. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about making money in this. But, I want to become someone who is good at the art of it all. I didn't sign on to become rich. Anyway, I'd say just keep it fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
