That is nice work man :o) How much did it cost for those tools?

[mrsdjsdj]

@Ggreenvideos , I put the costs up in the description. If I had to do it over again I would get the kit. Tandy sells 3 kits, but the Deluxe handstitching kit is the one you want. It does not contain any leather but has all the right tools that are good quaility.

@mrsdjsdj Oh, guess I shoulda' read that eh?...hehe! Thanks a lot man :o)

[mrsdjsdj]

@Ggreenvideos , No, I just added that after your question. It was a good question.

Not bad for your 3 shot at leather work. The advice i would i give you is, invest in a stitching wheel and an awl for your stitching, not a lacing fid. You'll find the quality in your work increase, and they're the proper tools to do it with. Tandys has lots of books too on how to make different cases. I bought one and it was a great investment. anyways, goodluck, and keep leather working. peace out.

@shippen2010 , Thanks. I saw a video of someone making a canteen out of leather, beeswax, and pine pitch. Now that would be an amazing project. Someday.
