Hello again. I guess this may sound like a silly posting but here goes.
Were you ever at a point in your leather craft challenges when you knew what you needed but did not know what the correct leather artisans name or term was for an item ? Makes it difficult to describe to someone over the phone or by mail - and can be embarrassing and frustrating for both parties ! Like you need to order this thing NOW , but heck you don't know what its called. I'm sure I can't be the only sucker. The lack of knowledge can be a spoiler , especially if you're an obstinate , arrogant fool with to much pride to ask. Gets you nowhere fast.
Okay so you know where I am at this point - I have evolved ! Damn , that was difficult !!
So I humbly ask , are there any comprehensive books regarding the description of tools and their uses as well as their correct names. Also the correct names for hardware and the uses , dyes , and all the every day stuff you would likely use in leather work ? I believe the US will have different names for the same item as opposed to the UK. Terminology within the US varies a bit anyhow I have observed. I am sure some books exist on these topics that are pretty uniform.
I just need a good reference book with diagrams / photo's to assist me get over this hurdle to assist me when ordering items. A buyers guide.
Hope some soul out there understands my plight and will come to the rescue.
Thanks - Roybee.
