In this video I have compiled a list of 25 leather work tools and sets which I think make up a great collection to start leather working with.

These are all tools which I personally use almost every day and have arrived at often after trying and discarding other items. This isn't all I use but it's the core of the workshop and with what's shown here you can accomplish a wide variety of leather projects.

My hope is that if you want to start leatherwork and you're a bit lost with what you need to buy and the choices on offer, this is a great place to start. You can buy some or all of the items here or use it as a basis for creating your own shopping list.

To accompany this video you can view this web page which contains descriptions, links and prices for all the goods shown:

I forgot to include the stitching pony in the video (there was bound to be something) but I have added that to the website.
