Hi everyone, 
My name is Levi Wilhite.  I wanted to introduce myself and thank you all for all the information I've been able to read already. I ordered a Deluxe Leathercraft Kit from Tandy for $59 and am really excited to get going.  Sadly I work out of town 3 weeks a month and haven't been home yet.  What I have is a lot of time on my hands to look at tools that I want for my time off.  I am very determined to put a lot of time while I'm home into this and think I want to go ahead and get more tools to and supplies.  I have a shopping cart full of $500 worth of stuff at Tandy but, after reading several threads, I am concerned that my money might be better spent somewhere else.  Are Craftool stamps really that bad?  I was ready to pull the trigger.  Thanks for any advice.
