So I went to Tandy to get one of those kits, because I needed something to carry a multi tool and a flashlight. Next thing you know I'm building a work bench and scrambling for tools. I have a bug, and I don't see a cure in sight.post-57572-0-06300500-1418103358_thumb.jpost-57572-0-55709400-1418103358_thumb.jpost-57572-0-51299900-1418103359_thumb.j

HaHa...Welcome! I got the bug when hubby bought me a Tandy's beginners kit for my Bday. Now we no longer have a kitchen table...it is my work station!

Welcome. A word of advice, put that leather in a dark place or wrap a blanket or something around it. It will darken where the light gets to it and when you unroll it you'll have light and dark areas. Good luck and happy carving Troy

I know what you mean --- I have been on a tool buying binge here lately, and thanks to me Barry King should have a very Merry Christmas... :banana:

That's the way it happens, you start out making one little thing and it turns into an obsession lol

I used to keep mine rolled and only issue I had was trying to get it flat enough to cut for projects. I started hanging mine flat in my closet with a blanket covering it to keep the light off it.

Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

I had lots of good knives with crappy sheaths. Course once you make a sheath you need a belt. And a little pouch would be nice. Then your wife and mother need something and suddenly you have a new hobby.

Like all hobbies, . . . when we get to be ground temperature, . . . it won't affect us as much any more, . . . but until then, . . . ya just gotta give in and have at it.

My wife thinks I have too many hobbies, . . . I'm still looking around to see if there is anything I am missing :cowboy:

May God bless,

I started by making a replacement belt for a Zuni buckle...$10,000 later I'm in the leather business with no dining room, family room and one less bathroom. I figure the belt cost $200 an inch!

We need a 12 step program!

Cya!
