Leather Work

[BDG]

I have not found anywhere to beat Le Prevo in Newcastle. Handy as I am close so can go in and get good deals on off cuts. As for tools, I use an overstitch wheel for marking, a needle with a hardwood handle as an awl and a couple of leather needles but you could spend just a few quid extra to buy better / more appropriate tools. You will want something to use as a folder - you can buy a bone or plastic one, I just improvise with what I have around, but if plastic or wood.

I do not get into gluing stuff as I do not feel what I am making it warrants it, you might want to look into what is best for something carrying food quality liquids.
