Members MonicaJacobson Posted October 21, 2014 Members Report Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks Corey! Actually, I think you can make a decent profit (as a hobby, I have no experience with leatherworking as a full time job), but first you have to get past the initial expense of tool buying and the learning curve.

Members InfiniteChain Posted October 22, 2014 Members Report Posted October 22, 2014 I'm one of those people who has about ten interests but time for about two at any one time. I'm in the same boat with you on this one! Chainmail, video games, model rockets, flying RC 'toys' and I'm considering taking up falconry. I may be insane. Quote http://www.facebook.com/infinitechain
Members Wild Bill46 Posted October 22, 2014 Members Report Posted October 22, 2014 Chain; Leatherworking has a calming effect on many folks, maybe your one of then, keep at it, you'll see ! but, crazy, you got me there man ? ----------- Wild Bill46 Quote
Members LANMind Posted October 22, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 22, 2014 I suspect a certain amount of insanity is a form of fuel for many of the folks who work at such hobbies Quote

Members LANMind Posted October 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 23, 2014 I should be finishing up the final edit on my book tonight or tomorrow night. I figure I'll be working with the leather on Saturday, which gets me thinking: it would be nice if there was a group of folks in my area (Keplerts?). Has anyone one else started one? Anyone have any tips on starting something like that? I do better in a herd. (Ha) Quote
Members InfiniteChain Posted October 24, 2014 Members Report Posted October 24, 2014 Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm really new to the hobby and forums. Try posting in the appropriate place to see if there are any local meetups or such. I'm in Minnesota, so I have no idea where Keplerts is. Sorry! Quote http://www.facebook.com/infinitechain
Members LANMind Posted October 24, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 24, 2014 Keplerts is a bit closer than you are He/She/They are about an hour away. Can I friend you on FB? Quote
Members InfiniteChain Posted October 24, 2014 Members Report Posted October 24, 2014 Oh, Keplerts is a person? LOL. I thought that was where you were from. The FB link in my signature is my chainmail page. Feel free to like it. I'm hoping to incorporate my chainmail and leather together. My personal FB page is /NovusGuitar.
