Thanks for the reply, Kate!
I'll go ahead and do a forum search here and see what I can find... before posting I did already do a quick youtube search, but I wasn't really coming up with anything too helpful. Perhaps I'm just not familiar enough with the proper terms and keywords??
Also, one thing I forgot to mention in the original post: I'm NOT looking for help in decorative carving and stamping. So far I've found a ton of that already... Not that I think it's useless, I know that's a big part of leather working, but I'm just not wanting more tutorials on that, not yet anyway.
Ah, thanks Jordan- I'll check that out and see what it is.
