CutThumb Report post Posted September 25, 2018 Hi there, I’m pretty new to leatherwork, and would love to have a chat with someone with some experience. I haven’t managed to find anyone locally, so wondered if someone on here might be Sussex-based, and up for giving a noob some pointers. TIA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
