Hey - what's this guy up to . . . taking my photograph when I wasn't looking?! :eusa_naughty:

When everyone is somebody, then no one's anybody

He stole my idea - my goal when/if I get old is to be an eccentric old leatherworker, tapping away at chunks of hide and only taking jobs I really want. Might even take up the herb again and crank Motorhead, or at least Skynyrd while I work and hold audience with journalists, all begging for the story of the 100 year old leather crafter. Well, that's the plan anyway.

Great picture, Tom.

Sounds like a plan. I already feel like that old guy looks so I'm almost there.

Gave me a cold chill. Looks a lot like my first husband, the old man who dragged me kicking and screaming into leather land in the first place, Jon Alger. Would make a neat leather carving or tattoo, the Leather Wizard.

Quite right, cousin - and not too many years either, but I'll have to do a bit more work on the whiskers... LOL

Well as you probably figured out by now I'd take me an eternity to get this much hair so I'm gonna need to find another pic for my future good looking as seasoned leathercrafter!!

But I just love this photo, this is the man and the art!!!
