Hello all. I am new to the forum and new to leather craft. Found this forum while looking up info on holsters.  I found what i needed in short order! Leather is my latest hobby,  i also do woodworking,  blacksmithing, and metalworking. Looking forward to learning and sharing!

Thanks for the warm welcome all! I have dabbled in blade smithing, and find it should be in a class all its own! I enjoy it, and have made some functional knives and a few declarative pieces.  Mostly I make fuctional items such as hooks, tools, hard to find/obsolete parts, knobs and handles for my wood projects, ect. Im slowly falling down the blade smithing rabbit hole! Im currently between shops, hope to build a new shop in the spring. Half woodworking/leather, half blacksmithing/metal work. One the forge is burning once again, I'll be sure to post some pics. I will try to dig up some pics of old stuff in the interim.
