rschreck Report post Posted November 15, 2012 Hello everyone. So I've been bitten. My fiance and I were in Hobby Lobby and I saw a Tandy Basic Leathercraft Set. Figured it would fun to try and a wallet, key fob, money clip, and coin purse later, I'm hooked. Not saying my work is anything nice to look at, but it's a start. After doing some lurking on here, I've gathered that the Tandy tools that come with the set aren't the best in the world. I've had some money stuffed away from a rainy day and I've decided to use it on leather tools. I would LOVE to get the best I can get for my money. Any suggestions on brands, stamp types, and either a mallet or a maul? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Rich. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has a web site but If I was you I would give him a call and explain what you are wanting to do. He is one of the good guys and will help you out.
