The tools you need to get started producing small leather goods. In this video, I try to give you an idea of what you'll need if you'd like to make your own leather watch straps, among other things. I'll be listing the cheaper end but still perfectly OK tools below.
Obviously, if you can support a local tool maker, then do so. However, if you're just trying out the hobby, then the tools listed below will get you started.
