Good day to all,
I have been watching leather working videos quite intensely for the past few weeks and have decided that I might want to give it a go. I primarily want to make knife sheath's, however, I realize that this may be a bit advanced to start off with. Instead I will try and to start off with an Ipod/ipad cover, a book cover, and a few other small items.
I have searched the forums for several needed tools videos and have noticed that tools can be very project specific and that I couldn't really base my needs off of theirs. Thus, I apologize as I realize that there are already several 'Beginner tools' posts out there.
I have tried looking for forum rules about link posting but couldn't really find any - and I have seen several people mentioning/linking to other sites. If I am breaking the rules please let me know and I will adapt my posts in the future.
For the projects listed above, from what I have gathered, will require the following items (excluding the leather and dye):
Awl, overstitch wheel (optional but comes in kit), groover, needles, and thread - http://springfieldleather.com/29838/Kit%2CHandsewing/
Beveler - http://springfieldleather.com/24773/Beveler%2CSafety/
Edge Beveler - http://springfieldleather.com/29838/Kit%2CHandsewing/
Also - when looking for leather I should be looking at Tooling leather, right? - http://springfieldleather.com/235/Tooling-Leathers/
Does anyone think I will need anything else besides the above listed items to make small ipod/book covers, wallets, etc?
Thanks,
David
