Set of tools needed

[camille]

Looking for a set of stamping tools. Just starting out with leather working, would like to get a set of 25 - 100 tools.

Veining, background, etc. no cute tools.

Thanks !

Depends on what your wanting to spend. You might get with Tandy/Leather Factory or HideCrafter Leather and spend 30-50 bucks for a whole set. [the tools are cast and plated] . You can also contact a tool maker such as Barry King. Barry makes hand made / hand cut tools. This type of tool starts anywhere from $25 a tool.

When you can, spend the big money and purchase a quality swivel knife. I recommend Henley swivel knives.

Also ... I recommend that if your starting out, find you a mentor to teach some of the basics, and the finesse of the basics.

Happy tooling
