Leather working is a great hobby.
Hobby? Building birdhouses is a hobby. I build useful, everyday items and give them as gifts.
I have trouble with cramps in my hands and forearms when I work with small tools too long. I hope and pray that you don't have that problem.
You're a bloody fool if you think I'm a masochist and the only "small tool" involved in learherwork, you daft, ignorant idiot, is threading needles.
