I picked up some leather stuff in December 2014, I think I made my first thing in January/February 2015. Started tooling basketweave in May time frame this year, and tried carving this August if I recall. Had a hiatus of a month or two while we dealt with hurricane Harvey in August/September. Almost entirely self taught, which at times is a rough road to hoe. Went to a trade show for the first time this October, and had a little bit of instruction during that week. So, thanks for the compliment! YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo
bikermutt07 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Posted December 25, 2017 Sorry about that. I guess I made an assumption. I started in October of 2014. But I dropped off for about a year. You have far exceeded my abilities in the same amount of time. I'm still not even satisfied with my stitches yet. I just don't spend enough time with the hobby I guess. 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.
Members YinTx Posted December 26, 2017 Author Members Report Posted December 26, 2017 biker, I spend far too much time studying other's works, when I could be improving my own. But I do put a lot of time and effort into trying to improve what I do. And there is still so much more to learn. I do work on trying to improve almost every day now, in 2015-16 I didn't spend as much time on it. Success today, I think. There were smiles all around! Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night! YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo
Members Crashresq Posted December 26, 2017 Members Report Posted December 26, 2017 YinTx... those are all amazing! and like you mentioned, I tend to spend more time "looking than doing", but you have motivated me to get out to the shop and get some more tooling practice. I would be proud to have my bible in any of those covers. Quote
Members YinTx Posted December 26, 2017 Author Members Report Posted December 26, 2017 Crashresq, Thank you for that! Glad to hear I have inspired someone as well. Generally I'm looking around the sites for inspiration and motivation, hadn't expected that my works would be motivating others already!
