scorched Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Hey guys im new here and also to leatherwork i have choosen to get into leatherwork so i can hopefully make quailty items for people :). i have been watching a few gun holster videos and they are amazing but sadly over here in the UK there is no real point in making them due to our country outlawing guns which i personally think is a shame. but i have an intrest in hand making wallets and such and small bags for people i have been looking around the forum and i have to say i am very impressed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danno90 Report post Posted April 16, 2017 Hello to a fellow UK newbie! *waves* I suppose if gun stuff is calling to you, you could always look at stuff for airsoft guns and such like? Or if that's not your thing, how about for Cosplay/Steampunk purposes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorched Report post Posted April 16, 2017 "waves at Danno90" hey :), i started to see wallets and thats what got me looking into leather more as i personally think there are millions of designs, fabric you can use with leather but your right i never thought of steampunk items :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuludog Report post Posted April 17, 2017 Welcome to leatherwork! Have a browse through YouTube, and Search for 'leatherwork'. There are about 10 pages of leatherwork, each with about 15 to 20 videos, covering everything from beginners & how to start to particular projects. Watch as many as you have the stamina for! Similarly, read through sections in this forum like Getting Started & Leather Tools Ian Atkinson and Nigel Armitage have good, clear videos; Search YouTube for 'Leodis Leather' and 'Armitage Leather' Nigel Armitage has a video called How to make a simple handmade wallet, which is also a good general introduction to leatherwork Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
