So, here some informations about me.

I am doing leatherwork as a hobby and wanna use this platform to show the people some of my work.

I got into leatherworking by my weakness for the middle ages. After I went to some medieval markets I had the wish to get my own medieval garment. As I was always someone who likes building stuff by my own I made the clothes by myself.

To get the final touch to my garment I also built me some medieval turn-shoes. From this project a lot of the hide was left.

In 2006 I continued playing pool billiard after a longer pause. After a short time, I wanted a leather cue-case. Because commercial products are quiet expensive and look alike, I took out the old leather and built my first cue-case, at that time without any special tools.

At this point I had the idea that I want to get more into leatherworking. After that a lot of tool and material orders from the USA followed, because this stuff is hard to get in Germany or it is too expensive.

Lets get ready to rumble With the first tools I made the cue-case #001

This is the way, how I got into leatherworking. How the story continues you can follow in my blog.

Kind regards,
