Members TBigLug Posted March 8, 2017 Members Report Posted March 8, 2017 Just for grins I put together another list of tools to help my wife and I get started in carving leather. I sat down with Al Stohlman's How To Carve Leather and actually made a list of every tool he used throughout the book, how many times it was used, what the current tool (or closest equivalent I could find) number was and sorted it all out. My plan is for my wife to decide which examples she likes the best and I can start my tool collection from there. Carving by carving until we get them all, lol. I thought I'd put it up here in case it could help anyone else out who was just getting started. It gives an interesting insight into which tools are used the most (in this book).

bikermutt07 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks for putting that together. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
