Howdy, I am a programmer from Texas trying to pick-up where my grandfather left off with leather working. He was good and had a-lot of tools so I had a head start. I actually have USA made craft-tools they are far better quality then what craft-tool is now Hopefully Tandy cleans up their act and starts distributing a better quality tool. Well just thought I'd say hey.

Howdy, I agree about the old tools. My students are always asking about quality tools. They exist, but they cost. I start by recommending Barry king bevelors and if they are interested in Sheridan style: my advice is to buy any of his tools. Hidecrafter has some very good tools and with various prices. I still prefer King's due to the made in the US. If you are interested in figure carving tools, search out Bob Beard tools (Pro-Series). There are others, but I know how good these two men are, both personally and professsionally. Stan
