  1. Gooday! First post here, so I hope I am doing things right! Very excited to start off on this. I'd like to start my first project. My idea was to do a Wallet as my first project, but reading through everything here so far a Belt seems like a more realistic and possible kick off to this great hobby. I'd like to do just a simple belt with some edging and have some creasing just in from the outside of the belt. I have at the moment no tools, no leather, and no experience. So I was hoping people here could suggest me a few avenues for all of them. I've seen the pictorial instructional on making a belt and will likely follow that one to a T. What I am basically looking for in direction is: Which tools should I get for this? Which leather would you suggest and how much of it?(I have measured as to the diagram in the pictorial and I have a 37inch waist.) Are there anymore interesting instructional information on belts around that might help me out? And basically any other tips or suggestions or even hellos you have for a newbie. To give you a project line for what I'd like to do to possible suggest tools for down the line too. I'd like to make a belt, a wallet, and hopefully later down the road a camera case for an old film camera I shoot with. My budget is around 100$-200 for the startup costs. I could spend more, but I don't know how much I will like this type of craft so I don't want to overbuy out of the gate. Thanks in advance for the response!
