My new hobby
Just got into leatherwork. It's an expensive startup as with just about any hobby, but it's really fun. I've found it helps me relieve stress and relax after a long day. Here's my first project I did with my girlfriends tools.

And I got my own startup kit today and messed around with a few little things

That sheath came out nice! Seems like a decent hobby. If you get good enough at it you can sell extra stuff you make.

That's cool & came out nice with that sheath! I did leather crafts in 4-H for several years but haven't for quite a while...might have to get back into it, seeing that. Look forward to seeing what you make in the future.
Not sure where you got that stuff but Tandy Leather shows two factories in Oklahoma (http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/d...eid=OK&p_city=).
Might not be a good thing though...I always buy less if I get it on-line since I pay shipping than if I go to the store in person, lol!

Yeah, I was up in Oklahoma City today and happened to stumble upon the store there, and got all this stuff today! Went ahead and got a gold memberships I save a little money. Depending on how much I buy I may step up to platinum. But I've definitely found my new favorite store! Smells incredible in there!

Wouldn't be much of a leap to start making holsters...Don Hume, Bianchi, etc. beware, lol! Nothing beats the smell of leather...except maybe gun smoke...and bacon. Hahahahaha!

I have a couple holsters I'm working on and incorporating my badge number into. I'll post pics of it when I get done.

Did anyone else read the title as "My New Hubby" and then got surprised upon reading the actual post?
