Not necessarily. I am equipped to make tools in plastic. Some tools like the Swivel Knife Bevelers and back bevelers are really good in plastic and I do make those. I just wanted to get myself and others to think about it. I am always interested in making tools more accessible and easier to use. The cost of leather tools can be a little much for some crafters.

My interest, in addition to leathercraft, is in hand tool modifications and innovations. As such, I asked the question. Leather tools in general are interesting given the ingenuity and creativeness that makers of tools have shown over the history of the craft. I am just looking for the tool that has yet to be made.

Let me rephrase that: What hand tool doesn't exist but you wish it did?

You can get back/bead bevelers for free at: http://swivelknifebeveler.etsy.com I hope this helps.

You can also get them at http://swivelknifebeveler.etsy.com I hope this helps.

What tool either doesn't exist but you wish it did, or is way to expensive? Also, what tool do you find the most difficult to use? Perhaps a template or tool guide that would make your work easier, but as far as you know doesn't exist.
