Congrats, KT.

Hey, how did pards get into leather work originally? Was it always through gun leather? I know some pards made guitar straps, stuff for their Harleys etc. In my case, my wife asked me to make a pair of bellows. I did, and the leather aspect got me hooked...


 

[Kid Terico]

Sketter thats a great job, very nice. KT

[Gun Butcher]

Skeeter, that looks great. I tried to do a holster like that once upon a time and it almost caused me to quit leatherwork altogether.

[GunClick Rick]

Now that is a nice bellows.I know where ther is one similar to that but foot operated,has a hollow tube that runs upward to about a persons waist,you put a balloon over it to blow the balloons up.It old about the 30s i would say,but the leather around it is torn.I always wanted to buy it but didn't know how i could fix it.It was used by someone that made the balloon animals.i could get it real cheap too..Nice work Skeeter

Howdy Skeeter
That is very cool.

I got into it because I could not afford to have masters make the things I wanted.

[Kid Terico]

Always wanted to be a cowboy and couldnt afford to till later in life. Doing leather work was my way of being a real cowboy. :)KT

[Gun Butcher]

  I started out life as a cowboy . Leather work is a way to stay connected to that life and the type of people that love it.
