Leatherwork And What It Can Do For Me.

[papaw]

I also started trying to do leather work after becoming disabled, knew I had to have something to replace working a regular job with, and had did some leather work when I was a den leader for my grandsons Cub Scouts. I remembered the joy the boys had doing it and thought it could replace the wood working which was to hard on me. It was a love of working with my hands and a peace of mind that I embraced. I have fun with it and met and talked to people that are so willing to share there skills and knowledge. The peace I get while leather tooling is the real deal as they say.

Thank you, zuludog. Will look into it. I've been hanging around BladeForums and Armas Blancas but one more forum won't hurt.

Hello papaw, that sums it up for me, finding peace, i belive that sometimes calling certain things hobbies almost does them an injustice, something like this can almost replace medication, take care my friend hope to talk more soon.

I agree Jazzman, when I'm basket stamping something with it's very repetitive action, it can be very Zen like.
