  1. So, yeah. I signed up to this website several years ago, wanting to learn leather working. A short while later, I moved to China, which made it kind of hard to find supplies and tools and the like hehe. I'm back in the states again, and would really like to find someone who might be able to show me the ropes. I currently live in the South Bend/Mishawaka area in Indiana, but I travel over to Chicago a couple of times a month. If anyone out there wouldn't mind helping a newbie get started, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't have much in the way of cash to pay for lessons, but I could probably scrounge something together. Thanks, Damian
  2. Thank you for this, I've been wanting to try my hand at boot making and this will definitely help!
  3. Hey all, Thanks for your input. I think I'm going to go with some of the Tandy tools to start, get the basic set, and go from there. I really appreciate all your insights, and I'll make sure to post some of my work (after I get over the whole "I suck" phase hehehe) Later, -D
  4. Hi all, I've been looking into getting into this hobby for a while now, but I'm having a bit of trouble. I want to start off simply, making things like leather bracelets, and move on into more complex projects as my skill improves. My main concern is that I don't know where the best place to get tools would be, what I should get, and what is a good price! I've looked into Tandy leather and several other websites and was hoping someone here might be able to give me some pointers as to what I should begin with. Would it be more logical to go with a large amount of tools in the beginning, in hopes of saving money in the future, or would it be better to just get a few tools at first and buy more as I need them? Any thoughts would be great. Thanks! -D
