Lovely Lee, as usual, have grown quite a fan of your work ^^.
but If you dont mind me asking a question, how do you sink in the stitching, do you remove a strip of leather from the top or what, how do you do that and what tools do you use for that?

thanks mate, what i am thinking about doing if I'm honest maybe next year, as i have had a lot of people ask now, is to start doing some leather classes, a bit like me pal is doing duncan, but he is going to do it for kydex, what i was thinking is maybe leather and kydex classes, but would need to gage interest first.
as for an apprenticeship, i have 2 boys, so i suppose they will be mine lol, as me son who is only 6 is really coming on in leaps and bound now, he really impresses me if I'm honest, his tooling is amazing, maybe i should put a few of the bits me son has done up here, he tooled me a lovely bat the other day.
take care.

Sounds fantastic mate!! I wouldlove to learn some skills like that!!! I guess it would prob cost a fair bit to set yourself though? But, having looked recently at doing a leatherwork coarse you can earn decent money for doing it!!
Keep us informed!!
Cheers
