Hello. I'm interested in starting a new craft hobby, and I've chosen leatherworking. I have a tiny bit of experience in leather working, in as much as I made maybe less than 50% of a pouch for my glasses at a skill share meet last year. Cheers, Orric. Also, I'm very inspired by the work of Hamish Half-Goat Odinson as he created a satchel for me which is a work of art. I'm quite excited about leatherwork as it's seems like a very versatile craft.
I'm writing this thread to ask if there are any good beginner guides out there and what tools I will need. I want to start off making very simple things such as leather pouches and small accessories. I believe I need an awl, a mallet, a wax cube and a few others things, just from memory, but I'm not sure. I'd be extremely grateful is someone could explain the foundations of leather work.
Thanks.
