VTleather09 Report post Posted September 28, 2016 Hey everyone, I want to introduce myself as I just became a member. My name is Tim, and I am from the state of Vermont. I enjoy traditional archery, knife collecting( antique mini folders and balisongs) and leather craft. As for my intentions on this forum, I want to pick the brains of master craftsmen. I enjoy developing my swivel knife techniques and creating original carving patterns in my sketch books. Although I feel I have the raw ability to become good, at some point, I am currently hindered by my lack of formal knowledge and technique. Much of want I know is self taught and I hope to gain an education here on this forum. Thank you for your time and I will submit some projects for critique in the near future.

VTleather09 Report post Posted October 11, 2016 Awesome! I have yet to meet another leather craftsman here in VT. Are you close to Burlington? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wdfd908 Report post Posted October 17, 2016 I'm not. I'm near Brattleboro, the opposite corner of the state. I do get to Burlington a few times a year. Are you near there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
