rmr Report post Posted August 29, 2010 I am interested in leatherworking, and would like to know a good place to get started. If anyone knows of any good manuals or anything like that, please let me know. Thank you. Go to a local Tandy store or get on line and look up a laether supply store( there are numerous ones that advertise on this site- all are good). Buy all the paperback books from Al Stohlman : how to hand stitch, definitly get the one on tools and their care ( one of my best referrences) and all 3 books on making cases, as well as the one on staining leather. Read these several times and your well on your way. Buy a piece of inexpensive veg tan leather and practice. As you read the book- make a list of tools you will need and want. You can start very basic and over 2-3 years you will gradually acquire a bunch of tools- some you use every day- some for just special situations. Constantly look over this site- there are lots of great people with a wealth of experience that will answer questions willingfully for you, read what others have posted and you will learn lots!!!! Good luck Anyway my 2 cents worth Bob R Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
