Joolsyboywonder Report post Posted June 18, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm Jools, 54 from Kent in the UK I've been hanging around here for a while, so I thought it was time to introduce myself. I'm a joiner & cabinet maker by trade, but I've been wanting to try leather work for a while. I bought a kit from Tandy & thought I'd see how it went. I suprised myself!, so I invested in some more tools & I'm lovin it. I think some of the skills I've learned in my trade have helped me out. Have to say, I just bought a Barry King swivel knife, it arrived this weekend. What a difference, it's like skating on ice without falling over. So, looking forward to chatting with you & learning some more. All the best. Jools Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJole Report post Posted June 18, 2017 Welcome, Jools! I see that another person has succumbed to the siren call of leatherwork -- today, a swivel knife...tomorrow....400 tools all over the workshop and 4 different hides, and a stitching machine! Don't give in! Be strong! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
