I checked Siegel but don't see any sets, and don't know which ones are the "basic 15" tools. That's what I'm trying to figure out. Can anyone help me with a list of which "basic 15" tools to get?

I think I'd like to start with traditional floral. I have Al Stohlman's Inverted carving book and just ordered his How to Carve Leather book, so will be starting using some of those patterns.

I'm a total newbie to tooling and wanting to know where to start. (I've worked with building things from leather for years but have never tried any tooling) Can anyone give me, or tell me where to find, a list of the basic tool numbers that I should get to start with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (There is no Tandy store anywhere near me to take a class from)
