Leathercraft Traditional Handcrafted Leatherwork Skills and Projects

Very informative...easy to follow instructions

not a pattern book. goes in great detail to the how and the why in designing and construction from scratch. All these skills are transferrable to other things in leathercraft. If you complete this book you will be far ahead of the game than people just buying patterns and copying others' works. A bible of leathercraft, one of the best out there in existence. You would be negligent in your craft if you did not to get this book. this fellow is a fountain of knowledge.

É perfeito!!!

It's perfect step by step guide, with explanation of different types of lather and lather positions. Also explains tool purposes, how to use and even if u need it as a beginner. As u go further in the book it gets more complex and uses previous lessons to compile on it and extend the knowledge. The more you go further the more tools you are going to need. There are some tools that you can buy on Amazon and they are good for a beginner, but as you go along think of investing in real tools, I think you can buy from the author he ships world wide. There are a big difference in pro and beginner tool, it looks the same but after few minutes you can see why Amazon costs 10-15$ and pro costs 100-200$.

What an amazing book , I wish I would have had this ten years ago when I strarted working with leather. I have a few books but they are older and based around saddlery, this is insightful and is a great way of teaching you skills that will help you with developing your own designs, it’s a great read, and the imagery throughout is fantastic and makes the book very easy to follow, well done Nigel !
