I took one of the recent leather project classes and would love to take Leather Basics. My wife has put in a request for a long wallet so I gotta make sure I understand how to do what I’m gonna need to do.
I’ll keep checking the calendar…

As for me most of my trouble is im only available mid-day, since i work 3-1130, wed sat off, which are bad hours. Do leather project classes count for leather basics as well?

No, because they only cover the stuff you use in the project.

Really, you think there’s interest? Maybe if we followed it immediately with a project class on a weekend?
heck, I can’t even stay up that late anymore!

I believe the leather journal seats are already full. My boy and I have both been watching the events page for the basics class and others.

A Leather Basics class should be showing up on the calendar for Saturday the 28th. No worries, there are plans to repeat the lasered journal class and I’m working on a couple of other project classes.
The Leather SIG meets this Sunday at 3 (Usually always on the 3rd Sunday at 3) so please come if you can and let us know what you’d like to see - it’s like an open format planning meeting and sometimes we do a short tool/technique demo depending on what else is going on. Input from Members is a big help!

Can you learn everything at once? Lol.

I’m reminded of someone who called up a prominent woodturning artist I know with about 40+ years experience. the caller exclaimed that he wanted to be a ‘master’ turner and asked if that was a one or two week course.

This Basics class is on the calendar now. Quick quick!
I’m a newbie but I do have some Wednesday evenings off. I have experience with rivets and snaps, but need to learn stitching
I liked your comment before, but did not express my interest in doing a late night class. I work when the classes are held, but am anxious to learn stiching to make pouches or the like
@clayoden I am at DMS late on most Thursdays. I would be glad to walk you (or anyone else who’s interested) through the basics of the various leather working tools.

Not sure if you’ll be there tonight? Gonna try youtube for stitching I guess…
I would be interested in learning the basics from you. The class on the 28th is currently full and there is not another scheduled as of yet.
My schedule is pretty much free Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4:00 pm and anytime during weekends that I don’t have a scheduled class already.
New Leatherworking Basics class should be showing up on the calendar for March 4th.
