Might as well have all the leather working talk in one place. I'm sure Jim will have his leather out this winter when it hits a -40. :/:

I'm thinking about getting some tools to make some sheaths for axes and chisels. Not sure where to start. I'm looking for good stuff, don't need any junk.
 
Of course an awl is your first tool, imo.

Finding good affordable leather is difficult, imo.
 
What an appreciation for working, to using hands, with what you're going through. Maybe therapeutic, in multiple ways.
 
Sounds like a rewarding hobby, I wouldn’t mind trying it. Did a wee bit in scouts as a kid.

I’d like a small belt pouch that’ll hold my little 6” crescent wrench and channelock pliers and a few pair of nitrile gloves. Maybe I’ll try mooching a little deer hide off a friend.
 
What chu need?

I can hooks you up with the cow hide.

Wow that would be awesome! I don't have any immediate projects in mind but I appreciate the offer. Of course if you have a surplus you're trying to whittle down....;)
