Tip: If you need some basically free stamps, get your drill bits from your handdrill. You get different sizes of crosses and stars from Phillips and torque bits.

One surpring tool I picked up for leather tooling: a small crochet hook for very tiny details that the beveler stamp can't get to. You use the back of the hook like a stylus and it does a pretty decent job.

Something else like this is a walnut pick, it is even thinner but I use the acorn end for those tight places and the pick part for a stylist and a smoother as well. I love those garage sales finds!

About half a year ago I found a great kit online: multiple spools or wax thread, half a dozen needles in various shapes and sizes, assortment of stitching chisels, edge beveler, edge groover, scissors, measuring tape, thimble and two awls. All for just over €50. So I totally agree. Getting started does not have to cost an arm and a leg. #craft

Tandy leather sells a really nice starter kit. Totally worth every penny to me and my kid anyway.

For the edge slicker you can also use an old BIC pen. (Which also can be placed in a drill)

A nice piece of antler works good too, plus the tip can reach into narrow spots.

While not a LARPer, I do enjoy seeing many of the projects you have done. I really liked the tent/backpack you made (that may have been the first video of yours I watched). I love camping, and several of your projects would be things I would actually take camping. Keep up the leveling up! #craft

Knife! Hammer! GOOD leather punch set! Strap cutter! Swivel knife! Edge Beveler! Sewing Kit(awl, Needle(s) & linen thread)!

I've worked for two different companies that fabricated and sold solid surface countertops. While most will have broken or random scraps, they likely won't be sink cutouts but more strips and corner cuts. Solid surface is poured in lots like paint, and can be repaired, but if you repair it with a piece from a different lot, you can oftentimes see the difference in the particulates. So any place worth their salt will leave the sink cutouts with the customer to keep for possible repairs on their new and expensive countertops. That said laminate and stone tops can't really be repaired in the same way so those cutouts are likely fair game if they are kept at all.

If you're on a tight budget, you can hone a swivel knfe without jewlers rouge. You can either strop it with wet leather or, if you need more grit, you can use toothpaste as a sort of lapping compound.

I Love all your leather working videos. I am leveling up.

Yep! As soon as you got to surfaces I immediately said nylon cutting board and chunk of marble. Best things for it.

This is so incredibly helpful. As someone who's just starting out, here are the tools I found I needed, in order: 1.) Knife 2.) Rivet tool 3.) Hammer 4.) Needles 5.) Stitching chisel(two-tine if you can only get one, but you'll definitely also want a four-tine also) 6.) Groover 7.) Hole punches 8.) Beveler And that's actually as far as I've gotten so far. I've made a medieval ring belt, some pouches and wrist straps. My next project is gonna be a costrel. You can do a lot of stuff just fastening with rivets before you get into stitching. I would learn the basics of stitching before you move on to tooling, but that's just my preference. Also, if you get the cheap Harbor Freight hole punches and have trouble getting them to cut, there are some tricks you can use. Add a little beeswax to the cutting edge before punching each hole. If you're really struggling, and the punch is small enough, you can even chuck it into a power drill and use it just like a drill bit. It cuts through almost instantly!

You can also use an antler in place of the edge slicker 😊 #craft

I lost my burnisher one time and did many projects using the handle of the edge beveler. The tandy #3 was a real work horse for me.

#craft gonna be honest. The kit wouldn't be for me but for a close friend who is very keen on learning leather working. Teaching them the craft but only have so many duplicate tools. Love watching your videos and watching you grow ❤

I was fortunate enough to grab a 250+ piece kit off Amazon when it was on sale for $100 that includes virtually everything you can think of. Tge only thing i dint have listed in the video is #4, and now I i know to run to the bathroom tile place by my house to check for scrap pieces. 😊

Been thinking of getting into leather crafting to compliment my father's smithing. But I never really knew where to start. Thanks for putting a list together! #craft

# Craft . I am really glad that you are making it possible for people to learn and do new skills. I definitely like learning. I am 62 years old and on disability living on a minimum amount especially in todays exploding costs.

#craft I love how you make intimidating projects so accessible. They’re good challenges, but not complicated.

This was soooo helpful! I bought a 60 year old briefcase at Goodwill a few months ago. I convinced myself that I would convert it into a fully functional modern briefcase. Which, naturally, meant I needed to make a leather 'sleeve' to hold my laptop with pockets for my phone/powerbank/etc, that I'd glue into the old case. So I made a trap for myself by thinking "Oh you're crafty! How hard could leather working be? You helped the cub scouts do it after all!" I feel so lost just looking at the tools. I've got a template already made and a double shoulder of 4/5 Oz leather. The trick is, I can't even start the project. I can't start because I look at the tools section of Tandy or Springfield and feel so out of depth I just freeze 😅. So thanks for narrowing things down, let's #craft this bad boy!

Oooh, sounds cool. Love to hear how it goes.

The timing for this video could not have been more perfect. A few days ago, I was looking into taking up leather working. A lot of my tool questions got answered .I can't thank you enough for this #CRAFT

Just a warning about the edge beveler from Weaver, made by horseshoe brand, with the plastic tan handle and interchangeable tips. The sizes are bigger than listed. They take off more of the corner than they should. Chuck dorsett of Weaver leather gave a good tip I liked about the bevel should take off a quarter to a third at most of the width.

#craft I recently started bookbinding and I absolutely loved your bookpress video and I built it myself, its pretty much my most used tool right now but I plan on getting into leather covers and a kit like this would absolutely go towards making my dream book designs.

#CRAFT Loved this, it was very comprehensive. As someone ready to start dabbling for LARP purposes, it was great to get an honest entry-level overview of what’s really needed to start. Thanks for sharing and taking care of your community!

Hey Cl3ver, one more time I'm gently asking you to turn your attention to making a pair of leather shoes from scratch. My pair that I started like century ago is almost finished (which is my second leather project ever), and I would love to compare it with someone's work who knows leathercraft. Also, I'm sure lots of people would like to make their own pairs, and you are a great tutor!

@@SkillTree Good luck then!

I'm a blacksmith and I mostly use leather for knife sheathes and straps, especially for LARP and SCA articulated armor. My first real tool was a punch because nails can punch a hole through leather but don't don't remove leather, meaning that leather "heals" itself and rivets don't fit very well.

#CRAFT in the process of sketching up a LARP outfit... been watching you for years... i think it's time i make some leather gear to wear out to events... woot woot... hugs from Dallas....

#craft These kind of videos are absolutely my favourite because while watching you make stuff is a lot of fun, if I'm not interested in doing something very similar, it's more of a "Oh that's cool, maybe I'll do something like this some day", while these basics videos are full of info I can use right now for whatever project I have in mind without having to dive through e.g. every leathercraft video you've ever done in hopes of finding the specific thing I'd like to know(which is fun in and of itself, don't get me wrong, but it's also kinda inefficient), so definitely keep them coming!

I'm turning 60 tomorrow and learning about all the fun things that I couldn't do before. #craft is the way to go! :)

This is such a helpful video, while I love your builds and it tickles the creativity side of my brain I know that when I want to actually start crafting something this is the first thing I’ll go to, followed up by the thing I want to craft! #Craft

At renn faire this summer one of the leather shops was selling bags of scrap leather. I had never worked with leather before but after watching this channel for so long I had to get some. I love making things and trying new materials and techniques is my favorite. #craft

I’ve gotten into leatherworking a lot after I found this channel. I’m generally busy as I work in construction and have a young baby now. I prefer working with chrome tan and on occasion veg tan. I’ve made a few leather totes, I made dnd dice tray scrolls I made a set of Christmas stockings and some other projects around tool belts. If I were to make a recommendations if you’re busy or limited on space I prefer using leather scissors over a knife to make cuts. I use an awl to trace out the shapes on my project so I know where I’m making cuts. I also almost always use an 18inch ruler. Good luck to any new crafters! And practice on your scraps don’t just toss them. Good luck winning that prize y’-all I’m sure it’ll be amazing.

If all you’re after is a cheaper leather supply maverick leather has second run leathers that can often be found at a very reasonable price range. The veg tan horse narrows are a great option to get practice in and small crafts.

# craft... This was fun to watch, I am repairing Herman Silver trim on one of my granddaughters Western Pleasure Show Saddles. I have thought about leather craft, saddle repair and ornamentation, belts as well. I heard you mention using the scribe to make a leather circle and then strips I believe. Definitely has a place in saddle repair, restoration and ornamentation. I'm a recently ( in the last year retired RN). At 75, I am trying to find a way to have fun and remain useful. A hobby were I can sit down, take a break when I need to... Something I haven't been accustomed to. You brought back memories of the last time I messed with leather ( Id have to call it that, I had no skills...LOL. It was when I was a cub scout- boy scout... 1956-1966 roughly. Thank you.

I’m so glad you have made this video for new viewers and people who haven’t tried, as much as I loved watched EVERY single one of your videos to learn how to get a basic grasp on how a beginner can make sick armor, this video would’ve came in beyond clutch for me lol. Either way great video!

A nice metal ruler is another thing needed. I would also point out that you may want to consider going with a maul rather than a mallet, most of the choice there is personal preference because both do the job but which is better is more up to the person. For needles, you really want a separate storage for your leather needles compared to normal sewing ones. But the only needles that I've specifically bought is a permalock needle, the others I've gotten came from ones that were included with the various Tandy kits #craft

#craft gonna start by making a horse hide belt, my current belt is on its last limb. My eventual goal is to make a jacket from either horse hide or buffalo with some fur on sheep skin for when it's winter camping time.

Was just looking to learn to punch holes in my belt and armour buckles, ended up watching the entire video and now I feel that crafting stuff might be a possibility for me

#CRAFT #3: If you don’t have any harder surface, and are just making stuff using a regular table, try hammering stuff on top of the table leg - this made my work so much faster.

#craft Been watching for a few years, and you and the team have inspired multiple projects. Appreciate the willingness to jump in, learn, and teach!

#CRAFT My mom likes to learn a new skill every winter, when garden season is over. This year it's leather crafting and watching her got me interested too. There's a Tandy store near us and I picked up a wallet kit, and my next project is a mystery braid cuff that I'm going to try and do some custom tooling on. I've learned a lot from these videos and they're also really fun to watch!

Completely amazed how far you've come, from having few hundred subscribers, to being a full blown channel. Well, greatness is always rewarded. Been a while since I started watching you. I remember the comment I left you under the 2019 recap. Your hair was a lot less gray, maybe not at all😂. Even tho I don't suppose you are still subscribed to me, I am pleased to see you've come so far. Keep up the good work, I am hyped about what could be the next video. Oh, and so that I don't forget. #craft

Hello From Colorado USA! I really appreciate all your effort and time you put into teaching us and showing us that everyday people can make extraordinary stuff. Your attention to detail and hard work have given me the motivation to try projects I thought were out of my reach because i was afraid to mess it up. Thanks for everything you do! #craft

I purchased a kit for my son... he is moving out soon, so I wont be able to "share" anymore. I would love my own set of leather tools. I think my first project would be either a knife sheath or a pair of bracers for my son. #craft

I made a mallet out of polystyrene and acetone, put acetone in a tin can with polystyrene, left it for a month to dry, rippedthe tin apart, Hi from hull UK

It's like you read my mind, I've been thinking this week it's time for me to finally take the plunge, and sure enough Skill Tree throws up a video today about this! Can't wait to get started! #craft

Omg, YES! Could you do a "tool sharpening and maintenance" vid PAAA-LEEEESE? Thanks.

I’ve been leatherworking for almost 2 years now, off and on and not nearly as much as I would like because my “surface” is just one of those self healing mats and a slab of marble on the sidewalk outside because I don’t have any indoor space xD. I also just realized while watching this how the edge groover works . . . I clearly have a long way to go. #craft

I've been very interested in leather #craft , which is a big reason I found your channel. Thanks for this great starter video. The thing that stops me from experimenting with new skills is the cost of gear to get started.

I've been working leather for about four years now and I approve of this list. In fact, a lot of the tools shown look like the exact same ones I use. One note of slight disagreement from me though. I consider leather sewing needles essential. I'm not going to put myself down for a chance to win his kit, because I have those tools and I'd love to see what someone completely new to leather work will do with it when they win.

Hey there. I am currently unable to make money except for things I make. I actually want to make bracers to sell locally. This #craft kit would be such a godsend. Good luck all this community rocks ❤.

#craft Last year I got a couple super small things to make a dog collar. Mostly hardware. I have half of the belt leather left and of the many tips you just mentioned I kinda wish I had some of those tools. I mean a needle set, forks and a awl can only get you so far. I even used sissors to cut the leather and the awl to punch holes to set the threaded rivets. Overall my dog is super happy for what he got. Its just a dress collar and slips over his head and has one of those buckle clips. The next one I make will have a lot more stitching and some stamping and more conchs.

#CRAFT hi! Alex Garay from Mexico but currently living in Toronto, I've working to fullfil my dream of traveling by bike across the continent, from here to Ushuaia, Argentina, all the way back to Canada. I'm telling you this because of the many options there are, I choose to start on leather crafting as one of the main ways to support myself while I'm on the route and THB I choose leather crafting because of this channel and the great work you all do, thanks for all the effort BTW, so, just as prouf of the good working you just answered almost all the questions I had to set up a little kit that I can use on the go. Now you said you want to set a little kit, well, Sensei, that's actually what I need haha, so it would be awesome if we can talk about it. Again thanks for the info, helps a lot. See you in the path to Tiue.

Leather #craft is great, been working on my skills so I might at some point be able to sell some at medieval / ren faires - so far it's primarily been a set of needles and a box knife ^^ Not to mention a much appreciated metal ruler I got as a thank you for sewing a friend a wallet (he brought me all the materials I needed too, so no cost except a bit of practice labor from my side ^^)

This feels so weird commenting on the sponsor, but here I am. So I think that Fume thing MIGHT be good for when you are cosplaying or larping someone who smoked. Just a thought.

#craft I first got into leather when I worked at a boot shop, but sadly it closed and I lost access to all those lovely tools. The owner took pity on me and gave me a box of odds and ends he was going to get rid of, so I got a skiver, some dyes I have no idea if they're still good, and some things I'm not sure what they are which lead me to watching your videos. The one thing I have used as a replacement for stamps until I can get some is a leather burner. I've made some fun stuff with that. Also, another alternative to tiles the guy gave me is a chunk of gravestone. Not the most convenient (soooo heavy and awkward to move around) but it does work well

#craft you got me into leatherworking and I am super proud of a bag I have made for my sister in law for christmas, and I only started in October! Having more tools would be amazing, and keep pushing what I can do. My main limit at the moment I think is where to get cheap leather and what to get, as I don't really want to buy a big bit just to practice on or if I have no idea what to do with it. I also have some friends who got a few slate samples to decide what they wanted in their kitchen, all ~10cm square. Might be enough for a small solid surface. In the end they didn't get their kitchen done, but used the samples as costers :-D

#CRAFT I shouldn't but what is one more hobby in the grand scheme of things? The endless possibilities... Fancy book covers, pouches for ink and quill...

#craft First off, I just want to thank you for this absolute legend of a channel. Been keeping up with your work for a few months now since I started going to Renaissance Faires and I've even taken up sewing and modifying my own garb because of you! I will without a doubt use several of your videos to make my own leather pieces for my mystic traveler character. I'm fortunate to live near a Tandy's so a starter leatherworking kit would push me over the edge to finally make my own belt, boots, and maybe even some sweet bracers!

Love what you do always find something that I learned from watching this channel

#craft I have bin training Marshallarts since I was a kid. And I have bin thinking for the longest time that I need a bag for my training wepens. And it hit me that it would look amazing to make it out of leather. And having proper tools would be a great motivator to get started in making the bag.

This video has the perfect timing for me. I saw all the videos for leather in the channel and want it to try to make some things. I just got 2kg of leather and earlier today I was searching for a video in this channel about leather tools . Some hours later I saw the notification for the new video...just perfect!!! #craft

I love this channel and all the things you come up with. I #craft all the time and have many things I plan to do with inspiration from you. been a big fan for a while and plan to become a Patreon member when I can afford to. Keep up the crafting inspiration. Looking forward to all the adventure to come.

#CRAFT. I went to my first Ren fair in August. Found your channel shortly after and my wife andcI are excited to learn this skill and make our own outfits and accessories as we get into Larping.

Ooh this is super helpful for future crafts. I have a request for a future vid if possible. A prep video for LARP for me specifically Reckoning. I plan on going next year and I’m clueless on what to bring and a bunch of vids says different things. #craft

DANG IT! You inspired me to Leatherwork over the last month. LAST week I went to Tandy and bought tools. Besides spending way too much on tooling stamps, I followed your list closely. I suggest adding a cork-backed straight edge/ruler. I have seen a number of videos proposing resharpening the razor craft blades. Is it worth your time / money? Be Well and Good Journey. Richie

I litterally have been looking for this over the last week because you inspired me this could not be more perfectly timed! Thank you and merry christmas!

I need to wait to the end of video to do coments. I also recommend the ceramic blades for the swivel knife. As to maintence, way less than the metal ones.

#CRAFT I've been watching you for a while now and really love your energy and creativity with everything you do. I'd love to get into leather working. Some of my favorite videos so is the one where you "leveled up" your pauldrons, the coffee alchemy kit, and the ranger cloak. All projects I hope to add to may outfit for ren faire. Keep up the amazing work and sharing your craft.

That's such a big help for me right now. Thanks to your videos I've finally got the motivation to make a belt for that cool Celtic Cross buckle that I had lying around for ages. And now I'm hooked on leather crafting but don't have a big budget. I bought a leather strap - and some scrap leather to test on first - at a newly opened LARP store and so far only used a rotary punch, my dad's old military knife that has an awl, some upholstery needles and parcel string as cordage. I still have to get the edges smooth though. Gotta try that rug method. But like the rest of my garb it's an ongoing process and one has to begin somewhere. My grandma even may have some of those tools lying around in granddad's old workshed. I'm pretty sure a lot of stuff "fell off the truck" when the shoe factory he worked for since he left school moved it's production to far east Asia in the 90s. 😅

Keep an eye on the various Marketplaces you have access to - recently someone nearby was offloading their old kit so I picked up a swivel knife and a handful of stamps (plus a few other sundries; an extra mallet nearby is never a bad thing) for an absolute steal. I'd definitely relegated those kinds of things to the "Maybe later if I'm ever making money off this" pile, but I'm stoked to find a place for them all in the ol' workshop to give a more professional finish to my tinkering. #CRAFT

Great choices in tools. I approve of your choices. I started about the same time you did in leather work. Great video!!

Great video as always! I'd love to get a glimpse at how you store all your tools! As someone who also dabbles in a lot of different skills, it's hard to keep the tools from the various disciplines organized.

Could you please do a leather tutorial. How to buy the right weight for the type of projects. Thank you and keep up the great work

This is a good kit for leveling up someone's #craft skill. Can't wait to see what the winner makes!

I just don't have the tools yet, but someday I WILL make it a reality! This is a great jumping off point for that!!

Thank you so much for this video! I know you made one like it earlier, and I was recently contemplating going back to try to find it. Now I have an updated version :) I bought a kit around this time last year, but it ended up not having key things like a swivel knife or a bevel stamp. One of the tools that did come with it came broken. I made one project with the kit and put the rest on hold because of the lacking and broken tools. Now that it has been about a year, it felt time to pick it up again and figure out which tools to get to supplement the kit I got last year. This video was incredibly helpful. Thanks! #craft

Love these videos and love this community! All I need is an edge beveler and a swivel knife so I’ll leave the contest to the rest of you!

#craft Leathercrafting is something I've been contemplating doing for a long time - a couple of decades or more. Lack of money and a place to buy the tools and leather from has been preventing me. But looking at your list of ten starter tools is very helpful as I can see that I have a couple of these things already - namely the surfaces to hit things on. I love watching your videos and I'm getting closer to actually getting my act together and having a go at some leather crafting.
