armourintraining Report post Posted December 7, 2015 Hey everyone, I'm very very new to leather work and could use some help. I'm just wanting to do some small carvings and small pieces(bracers, pouches, sheaths, etc.). I do not know what tools I should buy or where to buy them from. I just don't want to spend $60 on a 6 piece kit when I don't need five of the pieces. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
druid Report post Posted December 7, 2015 The problem with answering your questions are that we have no idea what you intend to carve or stamp. Each one is designed for a different purpose and so, the project will dictate the tools you need. Unless you plan on a decent amount or a lot of carving or stamping, you could probably get way with just using: * swivel knife * poly mallet * small/large round ball stylus http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/craftool-pro-modeling-tools * perhaps a round or pointed spoon from that same link ^ * any stamp that shades the back or foreground that you wish to show. ...but again, the outcome of the project will dictate the tools you need.
