Johanna Report post Posted September 5, 2007 Hiloboy! It's not every day I get a phone call from Hawaii (I think that was my very first one!) Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. There's lots of folks here who can help you get started on the right foot in leatherworking. We are always glad to see new faces around the table!

Dragons Pearl Report post Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Welcome to the place! I used to live in Papaikou years ago. Still have relatives there too. I want to go back someday, have not been back other than to fly honor guard for my grandmas body for her funeral there. Lots of talent on display here in these electronic pages. And knowledge. I have gotten some good info I plan to use in the future. Have a sushi for me! The brown cone one, not the seaweed roll.
