Hi all, 
I am a newbie to leatherworking and to this forum.  I want to learn how to make quality watch straps.  I have searched the threads here and have found a couple of interesting "how to" threads on watch forums (see links attached), but I still don't know exactly what I need to get started.  I have no problem with buying good tools.  I just don't want to buy tools that I will not need and I do not want to overpay for them.  Can anyone suggest specific tools to buy and where to buy them?
