Zayn Schmeling
I'm a 20-year-old maker who has learned all my hobbies on my own from knife making to woodworking to stuffed animal making, to blacksmithing, to leatherwork to whatever comes next. I'm always learning new things with the power of the internet and always finding people to learn from. In today's day and age there's so many amazing things to make and I'm gonna do it all.
What Inspired You to Make This?
I've always been great with my hands and always had an interest in seeing what can be made. I've explored a lot of different mediums and landed on leather work. I fell in love with the craft taught myself and landed a job in the industry doing custom projects.
