I want to learn some basic leather craft in order to make a few items.  Can someone sugest a book that covers tools and how to use them?  I Looked at an online book source and there was many to choose from, but I do not know which is a good one.  If someone and give me the name of a cerain book I will locate it.
Thanks, Brant
			
			
			
				Brant, if you have a "Tandy" store nearby check with them. They have a number of books on leather. Also they are usually helpful and sometimes will demonstrate their products, and even have classes.
Good luck,

				I did some leather work for probably 20 years and then talked to a guy at a gun show that made custom holsters and knife sheaths, I learned more from him in 10 minutes than I had learned in the previous 20 years on my own.
