How to Work Leather: Leather Working Techniques with Fun, Easy Projects. Paperback – August 11, 2016

I started working with leather years ago in elementary school. I ordered this book more to see the projects offered, which are great and easy to do, and as a bonus, with well written directions!It was interesting to read the instructions on how to score your design with a craft knife - I've always used a leather knife. Not sure I would be able to use a craft knife that way either. I think a diagram of the layers of the skin of the leather would have helped the description of what you try to do when scoring the design on the top of the leather. Just my opinion though.Would I suggest this book to others? Wholeheartedly!

This is really a good book for the beginner (which I am). I now know what leather to purchase and at least some of the tools to buy. And have a good idea which direction to go in. However, pictures would have been very helpful.

I've got a lot of leather laying around and I haven't done much with it because I have found it a little hard to work with. This book is easy to understand and easy to read and has made "working with leather" much easier ... in fact I don't have much lying around any more and am looking for some resources for some more leather.Good written publication, easy to understand, very informative.

Good general knowledge stuff. Mostly written descriptions, and B&W drawings. No pictures. Worth what I paid for it. Good enough.

This hobby has fascinated me since I was in the Scouts, years ago. But I'm a newbie in working with leather. This book gave me some great ideas, with step by step instruction. It really covers the whole process from buying leather to tooling, stitching and making projects. I'm looking forward to putting this teaching to work. I'm glad I found this to help me out.

This book does not explain how to work with leather. It gives basic descriptions of some techniques but does not explain how to perform them. For example, Decorative stitching: It says "decorative stitching may be added." That's it! It doesn't tell you how or describe any steps or techniques.

This is a short introduction to leather-working. After purchasing it, I found that simply watching YouTube videos and reading free information gave me much more information than this ebook. I was hoping for more illustration. You will be disappointed if you are any degree of visual learner.The only upside to this is possibly taking it with me to a leathercraft store (assuming I remember my kindle).Summary: if you already have an introductory leatherworking book, or are comfortable perusing the internet, skip this book.

Really good Reminder of technique and helpful hints for Working leather!!!

Great just as i required, very good item

The content of this book lacked picture details and some of the information was wrong.👎

A basic book with hand drawn illustrations. Hoping to find some good information when I start reading it. Chapters include tools, general directions, basic techniques, stitching, polishing and colouring, some designs and q&a

Good

handy little book
