This video has taken forever to get filmed and uploaded to YouTube. I have a NEW Leather Goods store in L.A. and thought I would show you that you too can start from your living room with two needles, thread, a bit of leather and a dream. It has been a long 4 years of uncertainty, grit and determination. I am posting this to you show all of my fellow leatherworkers that going retail is possible and making a full time career out of this labor of love is both possible and rewarding!

I have posted several ads over the past 2 years looking for an apprentice or another leatherworker to come into my shop...still no takers.

That's a nice little corner back there, with some spiffy machines!

Nice shop! Like the machines and the bench with all the tools. Enjoyed the video.

Congratulations, and good luck. The shop and the inventory looks top notch.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Congrats on living your dream!  I liked the bikes too as I collect and restore vintage bikes.  Mainly the older road bikes that were popular when I was a kid and couldn't afford them.

Good luck with your business!
