leather?

Went to a Tandy store today...not what I expected really, but dont regret driving the hour to get there.
Though, in the future, I'll order online from them or others.

got a small bag of 4oz leather scraps for 10 bucks
a bunch of needles (think they were called 'saddle needles' or something)
a pitchfork looking thing for punching holes for threading
some waxed nylon string

was 40 bucks
plus my 8 in gas (round trip)

I'll play around some tonight, we'll see what comes of it.

Apparently they'll have their large rolls of 4oz leather on sale next week, this week it was the 8/9oz and was thicker than I wanted
