Details: Product Description Suppose, you have to appear for an exam next week, who would be the go-to person for seeking help and guidance? Option 1: A Subject Matter Expert (SME) who studying/teaching the subject for several years and often assumes while explaining that the basics are covered or looks it from their frame of reference. Or Option 2: Someone who also started from scratch as you have and passed the exam just last week. He/She knows the exact process, challenges, doubts, and roadblocks you may be facing and can think from your perspective. If your option is 2, you are in the right place.  I am a Technology Consultant by profession, and started my leathercraft journey in the year 2014. I started by going through multiple YouTube videos, courses, Facebook groups, and finally completed my first project after four months.  I was confused and was lost in the magnitude of information available online. I firmly believe that while starting, you need exact, necessary, minimalistic information to start your first project, pardon: Complete your first project! So I started writing this book to provide a minimalistic approach to information required to start your first leather project. It covers: - History of leather - Basics Tools and their usage - Making Patterns - Cutting Patterns - Gluing - Beveling, Embossing, Stamping - Stitching basics - Coloring and Finishing - Tips, Techniques for the beginner -Leather Crafting, Physical Pain & Ergonomics * (New Chapter added!) - Appendix: List of online resources available for free patterns, tips, and techniques. I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips which helped me. This book is for people who are in their first lap (0-3 years) of Leather crafting journey and want to have a holistic idea of processes, tools, and need help in their initial projects. I have included photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting. So, what are you waiting for? Get this updated edition of the book with 22 chapters and start your Leather Crafting Journey Today!! Review Sue ( Amazon.ca -Canada Review) 5.0 out of 5 stars   Terrific book about leather work January 29, 2020 Format: Kindle Edition I am new to leather work and this book is just what I have been looking for. Other books I have seen assume that you are going to go whole hog (pun intended) into this hobby. This book gives you a terrific variety of levels and is realistic about the fact that people may just want to dabble in this hobby to start with. One of the things that I most appreciated was him being very upfront about what to buy and what you don't really need to begin with. I was interested in a book like this because I do costuming and wanted to be able to incorporate leather into that. I think that this is the book that I will keep referring to for a long time.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review Suzanne Hare (Amazon.ca) 5.0 out of 5 stars   How to begin with leatherwork. January 31, 2020 Format: Kindle Edition I never realized how complex leatherwork is and how much you need to know. Firstly, I think if you are interested in leatherwork, then I think a how-to book like this one should be your first purchase. The amazing things that can be created with leather makes you want to try it. This book tell you how to begin, what things you need to consider and the various steps there are needed when making an item. It provides a lot of information you can use as a reference. The author does recommend taking a course where you can try some of the procedures to see if you will like this craft. If you like it then invest in good tools and to start simple. Leatherwork could be a wonderful hobby for someone or even a craft business, but you need to approach in a thoughtful way to avoid frustration and overspending. I liked the practical straightforward approach this book had. Where to get
