Jim52 Report post Posted October 26, 2018 Just shopping for my first "kit" of basic tools. It looks like quite a spread on prices and quality. Any brand I should stay away from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YinTx Report post Posted November 15, 2018 What type of work will you be doing? Tooling/stamping, or working with chrome tan? Trying to understand what tools you would need. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LetterT Report post Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) There are so many tools and so many things to be made from leather it is very hard to say what is a basic tool set. Some things are universal like a good knife to cut the leather but other tools like stamps will be important only for someone who will tool the leather. For a beginner I would say try to pick a simple thing you would like to make. Based on that we can recommended the tools you will need to build it. And after you try it you will now if you like it, if you would like to try more and expand on that, both in things to make and tools to add.
