Members CLebel Posted March 25, 2018 Members Report Posted March 25, 2018 Hi everyone, My name is Curt and I am from Portland, Oregon and I am new to leathercraft. I tried it out about 21 years ago and the ex didn't like the loud banging so alas, it fell by the wayside. The ex is now long gone and I have decided to give it another try, so here I am to learn any information, tips and knowledge I may find along the way. So far I have only made a medicine bag and a rounder for tooling practice. Quote
Rockoboy Posted March 25, 2018 Report Posted March 25, 2018 Hi Curt, DO you have any pics of your work? People hereabouts are very visual oriented, and they are more likely to come out to play if they see some pics.

bikermutt07 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Posted March 25, 2018 Hey Curt, welcome aboard. There is a wealth of information here. Lots of great folk. 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.
