New to Leather

[Sasquatch]

Hey guys, I'm new to leather working and have so many questions. My girlfriend bought me a starter kit back in November for my birthday, so far I have just played around working on some small round scraps and just started my first project(a Belt) as a gift for her. Are there any pointers you guys think I should know? Any tools that I must have?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Here are a few shots of my first project.

I really like the design shown in the first picture. It's clean and simple and fun. You're off to a great start! Welcome to Leatherworker.

Thanks guys! The tattoo theme was one near and dear to my heart as well. Both Shayla and I love tattoos and I have become a bit of a collector.

My next project is a book cover for my bro who is an RMT. I'll post pics when its done.
