Hello- My name is Greg and since I retired (and for some time before) I have been enjoying working with Leather. Was introduced to leather working in middle school shop class where we all made tooled wallets from Tandy Leather kits. Although I spent most of my adult life as a software engineer working on a number of cutting edge technologies, I never forgot leather and how satisfying it is to work with. So, I started working with leather about five years ago again, accumulating many of the tools while still working (when it was more economic to acquire them) and for the last two years spending more time concentrating on the craft. Hopefully, I am looking to step up to a higher level of expertise as time goes on, not that it hasn't been successful so far in this journey. There are no candles, or perfumes that can compete with the fragrance of real honest leather!

Hey Greg, welcome to the forum mate.
Hi Greg,
Welcome to the Forum, thanks for taking the time to share a bit about yourself. Always interesting to read where people are in the world.
Please enjoy it here. We have a great community with lots to learn and share about this wonderful craft.
How do, Greg,
Nice to meet you here. I'm a frequent traveller to MA (with family in Charlestown, less said about them the better) but I've not found any regular suppliers of leather while I'm there. I think, don't quote me, that Buckleguy is nearby. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Your last sentence struck home with me as it was my time on a family stud farm as a kid that was the subliminal Genesis of my leather journey. IF you're keen on fragrance, I could suggest CUIRS by Carner Barcelona for something 'close' but still something special. Not a very "butch" way to start a conversation!
