Hello, Have been reading here for a while and recently signed up. Thank you all for the amount of info and sharing on here! I am from belgium but live in japan and started leatherworking as a hobby a few months ago. Bought some sheap tools and leather to try it and now I’m full in… you know how it goes :) There is so much to learn in the craft but let me share some of my work. The vertical wallet is from http://lefrenchcrafter.com, the key chain from corter leather’s youtube video. The others i designed myself.
