Members Big Papa Leather Posted September 20, 2008 Members Report 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
