Members Alaisiagae Posted August 30, 2020 Members Report Posted August 30, 2020 Hello Mich! I am new to these forums, too - but I am also new to leatherworking, and it is clear that you are an expert! I look forward to learning from your posts (your English is very good) and seeing your latest creations! Quote
Members FrenchMich Posted August 30, 2020 Author Members Report Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Hello, Alesia, Thank you very much but I'm not an expert, only a little enlightened amateur ...But I try to improve my level each day. I just posted a subject with my methodology to make a belt of chaps. I'm waiting for commentaries for this reason. If we can share it will be with pleasure, everyone can learn from everyone. Philippe, you are the Philippe that I know from Dude Ranch? Mich' Edited August 30, 2020 by FrenchMich Quote To pass for an idiot in the eyes of an imbecile is a voluptuousness of fine foodie.

Members Grey Drakkon Posted September 4, 2020 Members Report Posted September 4, 2020 Bonjour Mitch! That's all the French I will butcher in front of you from now on. (As a child I learned baby French from my Canadian mother). Your leatherwork looks great! Quote "Everyone with telekinesis, raise my hand!" -Repairman Jack

My major activity is study and development engineer for Automotive industry. But I'm passionate by the leather work for several years and I made of that a second job. We work together with Cody, my wife. Essentialy for equipments of Western Riding and Bikers. I started working with leather in a completely self-taught way 20 years ago and next I met a lot of interesting people (European and American). The French have great difficulty sharing their knowledge, they are always afraid that the bread will be taken from their mouths (French expression). Except my Friend Jean-Luc Parisot classic saddlemaker in Saumur. On the other hand, I found great guys in Switzerland, in Germany and in USA which are always ready to share. They helped me to progress, haved shared with me all their tips. I am very grateful to them. Today, we make a lot of chaps (Chaps of reining, cutting and other one. Armitas, chinks, shotgun and batwing), bridles, Spurs straps, belt, saddle bags, gun holster, knives holster and we do a lot of big western saddle repairs. I do all the leather carving and I always try to improve my job. A few pictures of our work Thank you for welcoming me among you Mich' Nice 48 !!! Quote
