@bitta had a nice one. We still have the books she handed out.
Yāall are welcome to post any of the info I had put together for that Leather Basics handout. The conversion charts for leather weights are always good to have handy as well as the diagrams/descriptions of the cuts when youāre looking to buy leather. I can forward a digital copy of it as well if anybody wants it, just let me know where.

At one point I had stuck copies of this info inside the Leatherworking Cabinet doors. I have no idea if these guides are still there, but if not, having them restored would be handy.
They are still there. As are the old handbooks.

I would be interested in the class as well. Iāll keep checking the calendar for it
Alas, there is no way to sign up for notifications. Iād check daily. You can narrow things down by clicking Categories, and Leatherworking. Although, we teachers arenāt well trained in Calendar/Event nuances, and some times the category isnāt checked correctly. Right now the Calendar is so slim that itās easy to scan the whole thing.

Or you can cheat like me and download the app that a member made. 
He made an Apple and Android version. Donāt know if heās still a member, but itās how I know immediately what the new classes are when the go live. 
Here is the one in the Apple App Store:

@bitta
Your document is fantastic. Can you shoot it to me? Iāll make sure it gets to @jnorine. I will also attach it to the wiki and put it on the committee drive. Thank you

If itās the same document as the bound ones that live in the cabinet, I already have it - and weāre incorporating it into the new mega document for the eventual Moodle.
Donāt worry about adding it to the wiki right now, as things are a-changing.

Just as an aside - with the pending passage of the permitless carry law seems like holsters (especially concealed) would be a hot item class. Iād do it except for one thing - I donāt want to

I would love a holster class not for carry but for competition. Some of the competitions itās really nice to have something you make yourself so itās customized to your unique needs.

thats actually something that someone brought up in my knife class re: holsters for competitive shooting
The skill sets learned in the knife sheath class are absolutely transferable, and since the first sheath anyone makes is typically a lil messy / needs a rework itās better off just making a knife sheath first, and then doing a 2nd and 3rd attempt.
heck, you could even make a molded electronic device holster even. easy peasy.
i did something similar to this (although obviously not as nice as the video) everyone tends to bring in different knives which really helps us kinda open up to all the possibilities and designs that come out of this general plan. we typically dont always finish the sheaths but they leave with more than enough knowledge on how to finish or remake them in the near future.
