Leather Making Kit - the whole works!

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I'd be interested in a Beginners setup put together by someone who knew what they were doing..

Slamdunks stuff looks good but I don't know what half the stuff is for ..

I'd be happy to explain what everything is for; this is all the leather working tools/bits I've built up and is all suitable for beginners (as I am!). It's really a set of equipment for cutting, sewing, dying and finishing a project like a sheath, pouch or belt (which is what I used to make), including being able to put rivets and poppers in to the leather (for fastening) together with some of the hardware (buckles and such) for a finished project.

It's all good stuff I promise!

Not a bad idea....might not be cheap though, even the ready made Tandy beginners kit is over £140, and not everyone wants those tools.

What we could do is start a new thread. Title it What should be in a beginner's leatherworking kit, and then when some kind of concensus is reached, see what kind of group buy that LePrevo might be up for ?


Christmas is a-coming and it'd make a good prezzie :D

cheers,

Hi all

I've found Tandy to be quite good at sending stuff out...they also do a wholesale club, where we might be able to get some sorta group buy thing going. Lastly, their Christmas Holiday Offers page on the website shows:

beginners kits at about half-price...deffo worth a look and I just bought the Basic leathercraft starter kit for only a few quid more than basic kit of six tooling irons; they would've nicked me about £18.00, whereas I got those six tools, plus various other stuff and kits to make various leatherwork projects for under £30.00...worth a look peeps?

Hope this helps, and hope to show y'all my first fumbled attempts early next year lol

A'ra best
