Hello from Warrington, England

[scorched]

Hey guys im new here and also to leatherwork i have choosen to get into leatherwork so i can hopefully make quailty items for people :). i have been watching a few gun holster videos and they are amazing but sadly over here in the UK there is no real point in making them due to our country outlawing guns which i personally think is a shame.

but i have an intrest in hand making wallets and such and small bags for people

 

i have been looking around the forum and i have to say i am very impressed

Hello to a fellow UK newbie! *waves*

I suppose if gun stuff is calling to you, you could always look at stuff for airsoft guns and such like? Or if that's not your thing, how about for Cosplay/Steampunk purposes?

"waves at Danno90" hey :), i started to see wallets and thats what got me looking into leather more as i personally think there are millions of designs, fabric you can use with leather but your right i never thought of steampunk items :D
