Gunblinger Report post Posted September 9, 2021 Been doing leatherwork since I was a kid but kind of let it go after high school. Joined the military, family, school etc. Got back into it a couple years ago when a friend asked if I could make a holster for him. I had never made one but told him I would give it a try. Didn't turn out too bad, and he showed a friend etc. Ended up getting a sewing machine and making CCDW belts and holsters. recently started making hand bags as well. I stay busy enough but could easily get busier. Still have to work a full time job and can only dedicate a few evenings a week to ther craft. Would love to go full time, but not ready yet.

Welcome from SW Missouri. Glad to hear you were "drug" back into the fold. Make sure to share some photos of your work (make sure to shrink them down, or they won't be accepted.). Enjoy the forum and make sure to throw your two cents in when you can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
