How long have you been into leather now?

 

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!

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.

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.

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... 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.

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!
