    Weaver Leather Master Tools, Rotary Strap/ Belt Punch that works perfectly. Self centers and punch holes in belt, straps---- perfectly---every time. Choose hole spacing from 1/2" -3". I have various hole punch sizes that come with it. I bought this new from Weaver Leather 3 years ago and it is a real workhorse (requires no power to operate). I just don't use it enough to justify having it any longer. I paid $2800 for and need to get $2250. I can ship it and cost to ship within 48 states will be about $50 I am guessing- maybe cheaper. Or you can pick up in Los Angeles Harbor area. I don't check my messages on here much so please TEXT me (three one zero) 357- one, zero, zero, six Machine Dimensions: 16" H X 16" W X 8" Made IN USA Product. It will be a great addition to any quality production shop. Again, $2250 USD Thanks!

    You know, the funny thing is that when I first started leathercraft, I begged and begged people to teach me in exchange for free labor. That never happened and like many of us...I had to teach myself. The love of it all helped me persevere on long nights where I messed up a project or did not know how to proceed. even this forum right here helped me TREMENDOUSLY! Well, I had a young man that is 16 years old approach me offering the same thing I sought 4 years ago. A mentor and an apprenticeship...a "whatever it takes to get in here" attitude. After two weeks, he started whining about being paid, etc. So I started paying him and as soon as I began paying him monetarily and bought him his own tools to use, he started not showing up to work, no motivation, lack of interest, yawning all day, no initiative to create a project, etc. I believe this kid wanted a "JOB." Not an honest trade in which I devoted all of my time to teach him (which IMO is an opportunity of a lifetime). He had every tool he could ever need and his own coach. BUT, he blew it. He lasted about 5 weeks and then quit . It is hard to find people who love this craft so much that they are committed to mastering it. I am ok working solo, but would truly appreciate someone willing to not waste my time and apprentice under me, and grow long term with my business. payed or unpayed...

    This video has taken forever to get filmed and uploaded to YouTube. I have a NEW Leather Goods store in L.A. and thought I would show you that you too can start from your living room with two needles, thread, a bit of leather and a dream. It has been a long 4 years of uncertainty, grit and determination. I am posting this to you show all of my fellow leatherworkers that going retail is possible and making a full time career out of this labor of love is both possible and rewarding! I have posted several ads over the past 2 years looking for a DEDICATED, HARD-WORKING apprentice or another TALENTED AND COMMITTED leatherworker to come into the shop...still no takers.

    The body looks fairly simple to draw out. You may need to do a few dry runs with a pencil on top of some poster board and show some tenacity with it. But in my personal opinion,it hauled not be too difficult to replicate.
