MikeyCoyote Report post Posted September 23, 2013 Hello all new here. Been tooling leather for nearly 10 years as a hobby. Still not happy with some of my skills but I think I am getting half decent at my tool work. Hope to learn lots of you all. Heres my particulars. I'm a 45 yr old military firefighter living in Ontario Canada. I ride motorcycles, teach leadership and tool leather in my off time. Thanks for the site and stay safe.

Pounder Report post Posted September 23, 2013 Hello Mike Welcome to Leatherworker.net, imo the best leather site on the internet today. I have been tooling for 30 + years and thought I knew a thing or two about leather until I found this site. I recently retired and opened a small leather shop in my home, not trying th corner the market just make a little pocket money. Anyway, again welcome, look forward to seeing some of your stuff. I would encourage you to become a contributing member, I have saved so much from tips from this site it is well worth it. Enjoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
