  1. So I'm just getting back into leather working. Been putting together a "start-up list" of sorts to try and ease myself back into it as I can afford it. My plan is to start with more affordable tools then upgrade later as time and funds allow. I also didn't want to get too deep invested until I found out if it was something I was skilled enough to do or enjoyed enough to persue as a side gig. I did all this before I found this amazing forum so I was piecing together information from different leather workers, YouTube, forums, etc. My main focus will be on holsters, belts, rifle scabbards, knife sheaths, cartridge belts, etc. Can you guys peruse over my list and tell me if there is anything important I've left out? I also thought it would be a good intro for people like me who don't know where to start or what is required. It's basically set up into stages so I could do a little at a time but still have the required minimums to do some starter projects. Second file is what I have acquired to date. Thanks for your input. Leatherwork Start-up List.pdf Start-Up Bought List.pdf
  2. Hey everybody. Name's Big John. Live up in Munith, MI. My wife and I are just getting back into leather working. I used to do it years ago and got out of it. We've gotten a bunch of requests for belts, holsters, wallets, etc. I originally was inspired to start back into it when I started into black powder cap and ball pistols. I priced a couple holsters at $200 a piece and decided getting back into my hobby and cranking out my own was a better idea, lol. I wish i would have found this forum first. I've always been a self study. No one around me does leatherworking so it's all YouTube videos and forum suggestions. I'll try a little of all of it and work out my own style along the way. Tons of good info on here. I look forward to picking your brains, hearing your critiques and heeding your suggestions. Keep your eyes open, I'm sure they'll be alot of questions in the coming weeks!
