My name is Jussi and I've started the hobby in December, after binging on Youtube videos on leathercraft. I've always enjoyed watching woodworking videos, but didn't really want to start that due to the cost and requirements for large machinery and a lot of space, etc. However, somehow I ended up watching leathercraft videos instead of woodworking and here we are.
I've no plans to make leathercraft anything beyond a hobby, but it's such a nice contrast to my stressful day job, that it's been very helpful in calming down and just being there in the moment, working on a wallet or a watch strap. The best part is that I can do it at home, with relatively small amount of noise and mess - the perfect hobby for a parent. :D
I'll be posting some of the projects sooner or later to get some help with problem areas. Thanks for reading and looking forward to joining the community!
