Hi guys,
I have been into leatherworking as a hobby for the last 4-5 years. However I have honestly only made 2- 3 items which I feel I should not even post the pictures of on here.
I do know my style I would like to get into and that would be essentially working with high end European leather and excotic skins. Classic French style of leatherwork. I have gathered some tools of trade over the years but I don't have a workshop or anything. Basically a big metallic suitcase I work out of. This is purely a hobby I really want to do well in. Philip's style immediately resonated with me. Despite having watched almost all of the videos on leathercraft on youtube I can confidently say none come close to what I want to learn and I feel Philip is the only one who offers training of the skills I would want to learn and the quality of items I would like to produce.
Hey @gogo_94 !
welcome to the forum!
Agree with Fadi and Philip, don’t be ashamed of your work, we were not born being expert leathercrafters and we started also making very simple things.
We (you and us) can share tips, experiences and information and for sure, Philip’s videos and tips are by far one of the best available at the moment.
cheers!
Thank you for the introduction @gogo_94 appreciate that! Welcome to the forum.
Agree with @Fadi it's all about showing your work, it's how we all learn and share ideas.
Thanks for the compliments guys! 😊
Thanks Fadi. I will post some pictures for sure then mate. This forum sounds like the place to be in!!
Welcome here Mate,
Even if you do not think you products are "worthy" of being shown, you should show them to us. Because we all started by making a few "What the hell are those". Also, there is a post on the forum where we actually show our first hideaous works, funny stuff.
If you are looking into getting into the european side of things, as you said, @Leathercraft Masterclass courses are a huge help in that directions. Some basics and some advanced stuff, but more importantly, some really really good tips and tricks #leatherhacks that you will find no where else.
