Joanna,

This is by far the best leatherworking forum I've seen. I missed out on alot of good info and nice people by not discovering this forum sooner. Well gotta go and catch up on all the past posts I missed. Please keep up the great work. We all appreciate it!

1st off I want to thank you for starting this board. I have been looking for a place I could go to and get answers about leather work. I am a newbie at it.

Love this site.

It took me a while to find it. I accidently typed in leather crafting and found it. I had typed in leather work, leather tooling, working with leather and other sites came up. Boy am I glad I typed in leather crafting. It is a craft an art. Some of the work I have had time to check out here is wonderful. I hope one day I will get to be half as good as alot of you.

Thanks again Johanna for starting this site.

My first post on this site was how it took me a long time to find such a great place!

I still think this place absolutely ROCKS!!!

I don't post a lot, I just come in, read, look at stuff and think how I can maybe try to do some of it.

Thank you Johanna for starting this website. I'm a big fan of yours!

P.S.

The coffee is always hot but you gotta get here early to get a donut! :biggrin:

Johanna, You Rock! With so many cards laid down you picked up all aces still. Thanks so much for starting this baby and seeing it along. As you can see by the posts it was well needed,been enjoyed and will only further the art and craft. A real dying art in this day and age of lazy folk who do not take the time to learn an age old trade and craft. This has been around as long as America,and way before. We need to keep the flame burning-thanks for all the kindling.-Darrell

Gorgeous stuff, Darrell! I'd like to learn to make mocs--too bad you are in LA! Do you know James Gottselig of Bald Mountain? I've been trying to get hold of him but have no contact info and Bald Mtn. isn't answering my emails--I know Miles is retiring & they are not making mocs anymore. I'm just getting into leather work after years of being around it & wanting to do it. Also working in soft leather & buffalo is my favorite! Bags & maybe some vests.

Thanks Johanna, I love this site, thanks. It is always nice to see/hear a human being who is willing to share knowledge and intimit times especially when life has thrown so much in their direction. I have tried to write another sentence but nothing seems to reach the mark. So I weakly say "you are a star"
