Hello, I am new to this form, and need some advise as to which brand of tools I should get.
I have never leather worked, but it is very intriguing and I want to make some knife sheaths, and maybe later some bags and wallets.
From what I read, I will want an stitching wheel, a groover, an edger, a scratch awl, needles, and a burnisher. I already have a mallet, a xacto knife, and a surface to work on.
It seems like Tandy’s hand tools are not quality anymore, and wanted advise to see if these tools are good:
kyoshin elle pro edge creaser and groover
kyoshin elle pro stitching wheel(all sizes included)
Rocky Mountain Diamond awl
Kyoshin elle pro grooved edger #2
John James needles(I don’t know what size to get and don’t understand what thread size either, pleeeaaase help)
Tandy’s wood burnisher(seems like this tool of Tandy’s would be fine?)
Thank you in advance.
