Leather Making Kit - the whole works!

[slamdunk]

It seems that I no longer have the time to make leather goods and I'm losing the inclination too so I thought I'd sell up all of my tools, leather, fixings etc to make some room.

For sale is all you'll need to get into making sheaths, possibles pouches, belts etc etc. Tools have been lightly used (I was only ever a hobbyist maker so nothing heavy duty).

To answer the first obvious question, I'm not splitting it up as it would be a pain to pack and post so many different bits and I want to clear it all out, sorry!

List includes:


strap cutter-4" wooden & new blades
Edge Kote – brown
Carnauba Crème
Mink Oil paste, 168g
Neatsfoot oil, 473ml
4oz Professional oil dyes, mahogany, dark brown, black, saddle tan
20 wool daubers
Eyelet fixing tools (various)
Saddlers needles No1 & 2
Dark brown linen thread
Artificial sinew
1/2” English Pricking iron, 7 teeth to the inch (unused)
Copper Rivet Hammer tools (No 6 & 10 – 1/8 and 3/16)
Edge Beveller No2
Wooden Edge Slicker
Overstitch wheels x 2 (5, and 6 to an inch)
Sewing awl handle and blades
stitch groover - adjustable
Copper Saddlers Rivets No 6 & 10, approx 20 of each.
large ring spring cap size 15mm approx 10
8 brass D rings assorted sizes
13 full roller brass buckles 1” and 3/4”,
4 5/8” single roller brass buckles
Leather: 3.5 – 4mm veg tanned shoulder, approx 2 x 5 feet
Various other bits and pieces!

This lot would cost about £170 new, yours for £99. (UK only)

Please post interest and pm me.

Has anyone ever thought about approaching them to do a GB deal on common starter equipment??

Just an idea.

and a very good one too!..

Thanks peeps, helpful as always!

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

cheers,

I went into LePrevo, talked to one of the chaps in there, got loads of advice, a few basic tools, some dye and wax and enough leather for 8 or 10 sheaths for about £50. If you are not sure, give them a ring, they are brilliant.
