Have a look [url= http://www.bowstock.co.uk/ ]HERE[/url]they can supply all the tools you need but have free tutorials on the right hand side of the page to help get you going.

I bought a starter kit from them (Needles,Thread,Wax,Awl,Skiver etc) to make a Holster for a Gerber multitool.

sorry harry... i could probably do that with a couple of bin bags and some duc tape... 😆
spesh paul. yes i have had a trawl through there, loads of help there. but im not a member there yet and this place seems to generally know everything!
unovolo... i have looked there but all the uk sites seem to be selling at ridiculous prices (see tandy leather!!!)
as it happens i have now sourced everything i need from the bay. will see how long the stuff lasts. cheers for the help chaps
