I wasn’t looking for another job.

I was searching for a way out of the 9-5 that had been draining me for years.

That’s why I leaned into leatherwork.
Why I hoped the goats would take off.
I just wanted something—anything—to work so I could stop trading all my energy for someone else’s business.

But if I’m honest? I was starting to lose hope.

I kept hearing seasoned leatherworkers say it takes years to build a name… and even then, most retire with worn-out tools and not much to show for it.

Then I came across a post from another leatherworker.

She shared how she was creating more income without burning out… while still staying rooted in the work she loved.

That got my attention.

Because when someone already running a successful business adds something new—it makes you wonder what they know that you don’t.

So I messaged her. I was skeptical, but curious.

Now I’m here. Still working leather, still dreaming big but with a whole new path I didn’t see coming.

Sometimes it’s not about having all the answers.
It’s just about following the nudge.

Curious what I found?

Message me—I’ll share it with you straight up. No fluff. Just what’s working.

There’s something special about adding new tools to the bench.

Every stamp has a purpose.

Every detail matters.

And for me this is more than a side project. It’s something I’m serious about building.

These tools are an investment into the future I’m crafting—one cut, one carve at a time.

And I’m grateful for the opportunity to keep leveling up.

Saddle delivery, ranch-style 😎
She may not have four legs, but she’s got four wheels and a whole lotta horsepower.

Finished up this saddle with a full clean, oil, and fresh set of saddle strings.

The original strings had been chewed up by some persistent pack rats, and the stirrup leather needed a bit of stitching where age had started to wear it down.

Appreciate Dale and Cindy for trusting me with the repair—it’s always a pleasure bringing quality gear back into working shape.

Proud of these two.

Same base. Same message. Two totally different feels and both hold a piece of me.

It’s wild how you can feel proud of your progress and still spot the little things you’d tweak next time. That’s not failure, that’s growth. That’s craftsmanship.

I don’t aim for perfection. I aim to keep getting better, piece by piece.

Almost finished with these pieces and I could not be happier!
Trying out the wood grain was so much fun, and it is safe to say there will be more of that in the future.
Loving every step of this journey.
