From Greg's About Page:
Creating to fill a need and the need to create.
I'm a mason by trade but have many
interests which I often feel are impinged on by my real job. The
downturn in the economy in recent years brought the construction
industry to a virtual halt and my regular job became an irregular job.
My foray into the world of Etsy is the result.
My first attempt at working with leather was a number of years ago when I desperately needed a new tool bag for my masonry tools. Masons' tool bags are traditionally made of canvas with a leather bottom. The one I made was all leather with external slide-in pockets for a two foot level and brick spacing rulers. My self taught endeavors in leatherwork expanded as coworkers' requests and my own needs inspired further attempts at designing and constructing a variety of functional leather goods.
I am driven by the need to create and there is nothing more fulfilling than when my creations are desired and appreciated.
