cowboysaddlemaker Report post Posted November 21, 2008 Just wanted to say HI and I look forward to getting to know everyone! I was born and raised in NM and left for 14 yrs to Colorado which was great because thats where I got into saddlemaking! I am totally self taught, I say self taught but thats not entirely true I took full advantage of Stohlmans Saddlemaking Encyclopedia's, as well as a few other saddlemaking books. I had taken one class in high school for leatherwork and remember really enjoying it the only problem was I noticed girls about that same time and so didn't pursue leathercraft at that time! But I had an oppurtunity to get back into leather in 1996, and am glad to have found a site such as this with people of the same interests. I really enjoy seeing pictures of others work and patterns, I look forward to expanding my knowledge through this site! Thanks, Alan PS. I hope this works, I am not that computer literate! I look forward to figuring out how to post pictures, I probably will need to enlist the help of my teenager! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
