AntB 4 Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 (edited) Once you get comfortable with tooling, stitching, and finishing, there’s a lot you can branch into, wallets, bags, even custom holsters or saddlery. If you're looking for inspiration, https://coach-bags.co.uk/ has some beautifully crafted leather pieces worth checking out. Would love to see some of your work once you get going, are you planning to stick with traditional hand-stitching, or are you going for a machine setup?

I would try face book for tools. Try to buy decent tools, a lot from china on ebay etc are just crap but not all. You can get cheap bits of leather on FB aswell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
