Hello, My Name Is Olfart

[olfart]

And I'm afraid I'm becoming a leatherholic.  I'm a noob with cravings for more and more tools and leather.

Buried like a tick in the woods of East Texas, I retired from law enforcement 10 years ago.  After attending a local fair and watching some blacksmiths demonstrate their art, I joined their club and began turning scrap metal into different-shaped scrap metal.  Of course that eventually led to making knife-shaped objects, which in turn led to the desire to house them in leather sheaths.  Now here I sit, addicted to two new expensive hobbies (as if I needed more) on top of shooting, reloading, flying RC aircraft, raising goats and all the other stuff. 

Is there a 12-step plan for curing the leather habit?

Nope..and worse, it can lead to "sewing machine collection syndrome"*, and "I just gotta have that neat leather tool compulsion".

*This one can get real expensive.
