What, this is so cool. As a nerdy urban city kid, I really look up to people who can craft. Such essential skills that mustn’t be forgotten. Pls continue sharing more neat projects with us plebs! :)
Don’t let being in a city stop you! Things like leatherwork can be done easily indoors. Other types of building/crafting are made a ton easier with access to makerspaces. Makerspaces give you access to cool/big/potentially expensive equipment. Heck, a lot of libraries even have 3D printers.
As a long time tinkerer, the most important thing is getting started. Choose a small and achievable project and go from there. If you’re into leather you could do something like a watch strap (NATO straps are super easy) or a wallet to get started. Make a sketch of what you want to make, put some dimensions on it, and go from there. Being able to visualize what you want to make and then being able to turn that into a plan is its own skill that you can rabbit hole. Or you can use existing designs/patterns and just make stuff.
Yes! In my little city we’ve got at least one, maybe two, makerspaces and I love the one that I’ve been to!!
