Zinon Report post Posted August 15, 2020 Hi all! I’m a South African currently working offshore in the oil and gas industry, I spend most of my off time working on leather projects when I’m home. Picked it up from my dad who used to have a leather repair shop when I was young, I have fond memories as a six year old running around his workshop. I didn’t think about the old shop for many years and my interest in leathercraft somehow organically sparked in my late twenties and have now become obsessed with learning and trying to perfect techniques and the art in general. I hope to make a living from the craft in the future, given I achieve the level I aspire to reach. Looking forward to absorbing as much knowledge as possible from everyone on here.
