I live in north west New Jersey and the state fair was in town last week and I walked through the craft tent and saw the leather worker, now I am interested in having a new hobby. I spent a few hours on google over the weekend and did some reseach on this subject, it seams like a fun and fairly inexpensive hobby to jump into and I am only interested in making small projects. I have a background in construction/wood working and dabble in welding, so I love working with my hands and being creative. I guess my point is the standard start up questions like what tools to buy, books or 1st projects. I may take a course in leatherworking next summer if the local art school does it, in case you experts recommend that or just to jump into right away.
Thanks in advanced
