Hello LCMC community. I've been a member/student for months now and would like to introduce myself. I'm a craftsman in Leavenworth Washington. I started working w/ leather about 8 years ago when my husband and I were remodeling our kitchen and wanted leather drawer pulls. Hard to believe those little babies started an obsession! Early days were spent on YouTube w/ Ian Atkinson and Nigel Armitage. I've also taken a few live classes through Fine Leatherworking here in the States. I retired from Dermatology earlier this year (skin/leather connection ;-) and I must say, my learning curve and excitement of the Craft has exploded since joining the Leathercraft Masterclass. I've just finished by second De Havilland bag and can't wait to tackle a box stitch project! Thank you Phil for sharing your expertise and enthusiasm. Best to all. Stay healthy and here’s to many more years of perfecting this lovely craft.
