  Hi, new question, new OP. I'm starting to get a little interested in making my own leather goods, but I'm completely new to the idea of making anything yourself in the first place, and as such, have no clue what I'm doing. I've been looking at Empire's leatherworking guide, which looks good for teaching basic techniquesvand such, but it doesn't really go further than that. Is there anywhere on the internet that has a LARPers beginners guide to leatherworking, or a collection of various guides, including how to choose what size and thickness of hide you need, what measurements you need to make for various patterns and such, average price for materials, and such? Again, completely new to any sort of crafting in general, so most of this stuff is beyond me.

  I always found them a little expensive for leather but a good source of tools and bits and pieces.You are better of finding a local tannery. http://www.awmidgley.co.uk/
