Jono83 Report post Posted December 9, 2012 Hey all, I'm jono and a complete novice only been doing leatherwork about 6 months I have no tools but have improvised thought I'd show what I have made so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted December 12, 2012 Jono, welcome to the forum! Many of the great leatherworkers of the world didn't have tools either. In fact, many of the tools we use today were made out of necessity by the founding fathers of leather work. Your stuff looks good. Keep up the good work!

Wow cheers, I started because I'm a woodsman (or Bushcrafter as its now dubbed) and I couldnt afford to spend so much on replacing sheaths etc so I just had a bash.
