Back in my ancient history I had many hobbies such as model building and leather craft. Here are some photos of some of those items that I made back then.
LEATHER CRAFT
I started doing leather craft back in 1981 when I sobered up. I needed something to do with all that “spare time” I had now and leather craft seemed to be something interesting. I did not take enough photos of everything that I made but there are some in a box of pictures someplace. When I find them, I’ll scan them and post them here.
This is a leather clock I made in 1983. The actual pattern was based on a design from a 1800’s rocking chair with a leather insert.
This is a silhouette type piece of a lion. It is based on a pattern from a “Make it With Leather” magazine. I did this piece in 1983.
MILITARY MODELS
Back in the early to
late 60’s I had build models of cars, boats and military models. I tried to build some dioramas at the time
but my model building skills were not up to the task. In 1987 and 1988, I wanted to do some model
building again. I did one car but I
would rather build military models and make them as realistic as possible. It turned out that some of the models that I
wanted to build were simply not available.
I wanted to build models of
