I'll follow this with interest. Never found a book that seemed good enough. Looking for simple, clear and easy to follow.

I agree - I always trust advice here before diving in. 😎

Don't know of any books unfortunately but there are a couple of chaps on YouTube who are very good at explaining the skills and tools needed... one chap, Ian, is very very good and I've been rewatching his videos again and again.

I'll get some links together if you're interested in some video tutorials to go along with any books that might be suggested.

That would be much appreciated Dewi."good at explaining the skills and tools needed... " thats about where I'm at..

Right I'm off to work, have a good day chaps.

Al Stohlman books are the "bible" - I cannot over rate them.

Im guessing thats Ian Atkinson, been watching loads of his footage as well. He recomends a book he has in one of his tutorials and I cant recall which tutorial it was :?
With luck il find it again and post the video link so you can see what he advised
He mentons a book in the first couple of minutes. https://youtu.be/jOiuBcl2fek

As with Mr. Fenna I would strongly recommend Al Stoleman's books: Art of hand sewing leather, Making leather cases 1-3.
Great books.
