Dan Miller Report post Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Hello All, I am a budding leatherworking, living in upstate New York, among the Thousand Islands that straddle the border between the United States and Canada. I got interested in leatherworking when I made a pair of Roorkhee campaign chairs (photo of chairs, wood unfinished, is attached). Not only are these about the most comfortable camp chairs I have ever sat in, but I found I really enjoy leatherworking. Not surprising, since my great- and great-great-grandfathers were harness makers in Westport, New York. I remember as a very small child being in the shop, which was still intact back then (very early 1970s). Unfortunately, the shop was dispersed, but I am fortunate to have inherited their harness horse (see thread in antique tools section). I am also a long-time woodworker, wooden boatbuilder using traditional techniques, have built several timber framed buildings, am an avid birdwatcher and enjoy canoeing and photography. I am looking forward to participating in these forums, and am hoping to develop my leatherworking skills, particular in making outdoor-oriented goods.
