drexcess Report post Posted August 9, 2018 First post and first thing I’ve ever made from leather. Quite pleased with it. I took an excellent 2-day course here in the UK. Looking forward to getting a few tools together and attempting to copy/interpret all of the excellent designs I see out there... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drexcess Report post Posted August 13, 2018 Thank you for your kind words and welcome. The 2-day course I took is this one: http://www.diamondawl.co.uk/choose-leather-course/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyNext Report post Posted August 19, 2018 I attended both the one day and then the two day courses at DiamondAwl earlier this year, making first a passport holder and then a messenger bag. Jason is a great tutor, sharing lots of practical advice for beginners. Definitely to be recommended if you are in the UK. His workshop is NE of Manchester. I've now got the leatherworking bug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
