Big Papa Leather Report post Posted September 20, 2008 Hello, My name is Allen. I am new to leather crafting. So new that I have only about 2 weeks under my belt. Actually I want to make a belt so I can but some weeks under it. ( insert rim shot here) Anyway, a bit about myself. I am a pretty diverse type dude. I enjoy 4 wheel drive vehicles, Guns, knives, and other stuff. I am a father of 3 great kids and married for 16 years. I have been in public service most of my adult life, Military, emergency medical responder (paramedic) and Law Enforcement. After many, many years of dealing with other peoples misery I decided I had to do something different. Started my own business and finally starting to have a little more faith in humanity. (yeah, I know kind of dark, but true) Anyway, I hope to learn alot. So far I am impressed and intimedated by some the the great stuff on here. I have something to strive for that is for sure. Please bare with my questions if they are newbi' ish at times. Allen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
