Albuquerque, you’ve been fantastic this week. Three strangers approached me to complement the bag I carry and asked for my card when I told you I’d made it myself. I’ve tuned up my website for you and here’s what’s going on:

I built that bag a few years ago at the leatherworking studio where I learned the trade. I’ve been doing other things in the interim, but since May 2011 I’ve been working to assemble a home studio of my own. The final components (a super-heavy-duty sewing machine and a stock of leather) are the most expensive and so they’re taking the longest to get my hands on.

As I said to some of you, I’ll be in production by New Year’s Day, 2012. If you’d like updates in the meantime you can bookmark this site, grab the RSS feed, follow me on Twitter, or drop me an email (my twitter username at gmail).

Thanks very much for your interest.
