Hi everyone. This is Dave from New York City. I have been doing leatherwork on and off as a hobby for about 3 years now. I currently work in law enforcment but I realized that I enjoy leatherwork a heck of a lot more. So I decided to really start honing my skill level. I hope that by the time I retire in 7 years, I'll have reached a level that would allow me to make my hobby a full time business. Currently, I've been making wallets, card holders, belts and bags. Another huge hobby of mine is performing magic and entertainment for children and adults. I hope to incorporate leather craft to create unique and upscale items that magicians would enjoy using during their professional gigs.

Hey Dave! Thanks for the intro! I love it when people find a unique niche in leatherwork. I'm all for starting out making popular items to hone your skills, but eventually I believe it is vitally important to find something unique to include in your work that makes you stand out.
Cheers!
Phil
