For my birthday my wife gave me a tandy leather starter kit. I am unsure of what or how to use the quartz block for. I have been playing on the kitchen table and am having a great time. My intentions were to make a few holsters, sheath and bags. However I found another world. This is the first time I have played with leather (in boy scout we put kit together). I have learn quite a few things already. If any one can provide helpful hints that would be great. (Wife just told me that I can take this camping with us,while she is working I can make her something). Thank you in advance and keep producing beautiful work.
