For awhile I used a homemade tooling maul made form an old table leg it did well but when I got the pictured maul from tandy it was a world of difference. Better the tool the better quality work you can do.
I started out helping my boys do leather crafts for their Royal Rangers class at church, (kind of like the boy scouts but at church). My boys had fun and moved on and my interest grew from there.I started out just doing the stamping but now I do alot of simple carving and tooling. I buy alot...
I used to use a drill press before I started using a stitch groover. Now I just use the awl so I can make sure my holes line up in the groove on both sides, it was hard to do that when I was drilling the holes.

I use this^^^^ as an awl and a stitching pony that i had @Jerry Brenner make me.
But thinking about getting the awl that @RevCov has for sale, if someone else doesn't beat me to it.
Here are some diffrent projects I have done. A couple of holsters and a couple of cigar cases. Everything is hand cut, hand carved, hand tooled, and hand stitched. I really enjoy doing leather work when I have time.
Call the track operators and ask about local bmx bike shops. I know there's one in atlanta and in peachtree city check out bikes unlimited.
if you call p'tree city bmx talk to Shayne or Anthony Robinson they are great people and will steer you right.
O.K.
I know this is short notice but I have to see if I can make this happen.
I need some help from our ODT family. My youngest son is getting started in BMX racing and we are having his 8th birthday party this Saturday June 8th. I was wondering if any local ODT'ers (Coweta, P'tree...
He will be 8 in June. I think it will be good for him. He's very athletic but gets bored easy. He's played soccer and football but says its not fast enough for him. Hes always riding his bike and trying to jump stuff, he says he wants to be a red bull stuntman when he grows up,lol.
