electrathon and others,
I too am just trying to get started in this craft. I've read quite a bit about Tandy and their tools not being of quality, however, it is seldom if any that anyone offers up a solution. What other brand would you suggest a new guy should look at? I'm not afraid to spend money to get started, however, I prefer not to purchase inferior tooling only to find I need to replace in a short period of time. Is there any 1 set out there that would cover all the basics? I've seen Tandy's Ultimate Leathercraft Workshop. It is on sale for $549.99 which appears to be a great start. Any opinions on this set?
