wearXpattern Report post Posted June 18, 2013 Hi everyone, My name is Evan and I'm a Wind Turbine Technician from northern Iowa. I have been tooling leather for a couple of months now and excited to learn all I can about this art. My wife and I have a beautiful one year old daughter so it's hard to find time to "quietly" tool leather. So I spend most of my time designing patterns that I'm just dying to tool. This is my first time ever doing anything with an online forum so I hope I'm doing this right and posting in the correct area. Thanks Evan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murf Report post Posted August 10, 2013 Hello, Nice to meet someone also from Iowa. i am from central Iowa and ive been doing leather work for about 5 months and to be honest there are not very many leather workers around Iowa from the research i have done. Ive looked many places high and low trying to find someone to teach me alittle hands on stuff but so far its been all self taught. If i encounter anyone from northern Iowa that can teach you a few things ill post here. If you ever make it to des moines head into Tandy Leather and they might know someone in your area. I cant see why someone who had many years under their belt wouldnt take a few hours of time to show you some stuff, i know if i had alot of experience i would love to pay it forward.
