Level Up Your Braiding: Scott Gorer's Bmaker School & Your Rogue Tanner Journey

Hey Rogue Tanners! Paige here, your Founding Tanner. You know I love a good compound skill – sourdough baking led me here, and now I’m diving deeper into leatherwork. That's why I'm stoked to share this news from Scott Gorer, a master braider whose courses are about to reopen at VMaker School.

For those of you just joining the movement, we're all about learning the craft, becoming the entrepreneur. Paige's story – from Wellington, Utah Postmaster to homesteading mom and leather entrepreneur raking in $1,000 her first month – is proof that this model works. We’re building a Material-Pipeline connecting Rogue Hunters (hides!), Rogue Ropers (tack!), Rogue Carpenters (furniture leather!), and even Rogue Chefs (knife rolls!). Each skill builds on the last, creating a robust, localized economy.

Scott Gorer's braiding courses are a fantastic addition to that pipeline. Think about it: a beautifully braided reins for a Rogue Roper, intricate braiding on a holster for a Rogue Hunter, or even decorative elements on a Rogue Carpenter’s leather furniture – the possibilities are endless! And the more diverse your skill set, the more valuable you become.

Whether you're a seasoned leatherworker or just starting out, Scott’s courses offer something for everyone. He covers everything from the basics to more advanced techniques, and he's known for his clear instruction and dedication to his students.

Here's a breakdown of what's coming up:

• Live Q&A (March 12th, 7:30 Central): For those already enrolled in Scott's braiding courses. Check your emails for sign-up details!
• One-on-One Meetings (March 19th): Limited availability – book your spot now!
• Course Re-opening (April 1st): Enrollment open for just two weeks!

Courses include:

• Intro to Raw Hide Braiding
• Intro to Leather Braiding
• Making the Retta
• Making a Hackamore

Scott's courses align perfectly with the Rogue Tanners philosophy. It's not just about the braiding itself; it's about the *doing*. It’s about the practical application of a skill, and then figuring out how to turn that skill into a business. It's about building something tangible with your own hands and then sharing it with the world.

This is a fantastic opportunity to expand your craft and potentially your income streams. And who knows, maybe you'll be the next Rogue Tanner to share your story and inspire others!

Don't forget to check out the Mighty Tanner Kit and Stripling Tanner resources to support your learning journey. And remember, we’re all here to support each other. Share your braiding projects, ask questions, and let's build something amazing together!

Happy Braiding!

– Paige, Founding Tanner
