Letting My Nerd Flag Fly

Another quick post today.  I was doing some research on putting together a "gamer" bag and came across the items below.  They are "deck boxes" for collectible card games and I thought they were great.  I will definitely be putting a few of these together myself once I get the shop back up and running.  (Some for sale, and some for myself.  I dabble in playing Magic the Gathering and these would be great for some of my decks.)

As for the "gamer bag" I'm still working on the concept.  It obviously is something that can be used by gamers for gaming stuff, or for regular daily stuff.  I'll keep you posted on that.  (By the way, if you are interested in this, drop me a line.  Let me know what you would like to see in a project like this.  I'd love to hear your ideas!)

Thanks again for dropping by!  Any comments or questions, please send them on over to theslackjaw@gmail.com.

You bet I'm back!

Hello all!

I have missed you!  Really, I have.  I can't believe it's been so long.  BUT, I've been toying with starting up here again.  Admittedly I can't do much in the way of projects right now because my workshop is still a nursery.  (Hopefully a move in a few months will take us to a new home that has more room for a proper workshop!)

That being said, I can still put some useful information and interesting leather related stuff.  The entries will probably be short, definitely a novelty coming from me, but just something to keep some new content on here.

Today I wanted to point everyone into the direction of this guy.  His name is Ian Atkinson and he's across the pond over in the UK and MY GOD is his leather work phenomenal!  I just love watching his videos.  He is one of the best leather workers I've seen.  He's got a store on his site as well as an Etsy store.  Check him out.  (His stuff doesn't come cheap but with the amount of work he puts in I don't blame him.)

As always drop me a line at theslackjaw@gmail.com if you have any questions.  It's good to be back!

Take Care!
