Hello from VA

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

I am dipping my toes into leather work and hope to learn from you all.  I've admired leather products for a long time and my interest in working with it started with a desire to make a few knife and axe sheaths.  Now I'm interested in other stuff, too, lol.

I bought a starter kit and some leather and figure to get started this weekend.  Looking forward to learning!

I am so sorry...John...We should have warned you!! You are now officially doomed, for ever broke and the smell of leather will have severe effects to your brain and wallet...you will never look the same way at a leather sofa's kicked to the curb...you will start buying old rusty tools and fancy templates...your wife's tanning bed will disappear and a work bench will be build at this same spot...

May the gods of leather dye and bees wax be with you from now on!!!

Ohhhh, and have fun...and I mean lots of fun!! 

Greetings from another "doomed" guy in SW Virginia!!
