verus22 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) Hello to all, My name is Mike, and I've been studying leatherwork for about the past 9-10 years now (in theory only), but just a few months ago finally got the opportunity to get my hands dirty and do some work (just didn't have the money until recently). I'm aspiring to become a professional, and the style I prefer is more of a traditional English type, but with a bit of western influence. I don't do any carving, however, mainly because the last time I tried it was at least 25 years ago, and I'm not too great at it! I keep my work simple...within my skillset, but I am always refining to create a better finished product. I like to do all my work by hand, no machines...although at times it'd be nice to have something to help things along a bit quicker! I'm really enjoying the forum, learning so much from everyone, and enjoying the great leatherwork on here! Edited April 18, 2015 by verus22 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
