Members Fire88 Posted July 23, 2017 Members Report Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I'm a full time firefighter and haul heavy equipment on my days off. I used to be a carpenter and cabinet maker and still doable in it a bit. I got into leather working cause I didn't want to pay for a new radio strap and suspenders nor did I want to wait months to get them. Well what started as me doing personal stuff turned into me making straps for the guys I work with to help a brother who was in need. Now I've got bug an have been making some other things for fun.

bikermutt07 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Posted July 23, 2017 Welcome aboard. Quote 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.
