Nope, never met him, but sounds like a feller I would have like to know!

I have been learning to draw out my own patterns and not use others. I look at other and check what they did and how they did it. The pattern on here is one I came up with. I suppose I've seen it somewhere else, but sure don't remember it, but of course I don't seem to remember very much anyway. The reason I did it the way I did, was so there were more points and places to "pick" the leather up so it shows more.

And thanks for the comment about the shop. My wife says I'm a packrat and I inherieted it from my mom. :wink:
