He started about a year ago, made some saddle bags for my other buddies horse. I've seen him get offered $1200 cash money for them and not take it. Justin (the leather guy), only charged him for the material and some whiskey.

We're trying to talk him into getting more serious into it, at least enough to make some play money.

Tooling is a lot of fun. I just started last year as well.

Very nice piece.

Wow, that is cool! Where would one look to learn how to do this? I remember when I was in the Boy Scouts that we did some leather work, but nothing like this... Need more hobbies to keep me out of trouble...
