thank you for your help i appreciate it. i also dont want to do any of the flowery design stuff. just clean cuts, simple things.

hello guys and gals, im a complete noob to leather work. me and my girlfriend were looking at getting into this as a hobby we could do together, and possibly give the things we made as gifts. What we were looking at making was mostly simple wallets,bags and maybe some belts. Like i said we are complete begginers , i have been reading trying to learn a little but still confused . i wanted to buy some tools to get me started. i was looking at the kits on tandys. but i know like in most hobby's you get what you pay. i would rather buy one quality tool at a time. then to buy a cheap kit and have to buy twice. i dont need anything top of the line but just good solid construction. i was wondering. what you guys here recommend i buy to get me started in this hobby. specifically to start making wallets,bags, belts. i know its going to be hard but we accept the challenge to try to learn this craft. thank you for your time
