I've been thinking about leatherworking for a while. I find that making stuff is a great stress reliever, and leatherworking seems relatively left-brain friendly. Plus I just like nice leather stuff. I'm mostly interested in small daily/professional items - card cases, portfolios, belts, watch bands, etc. Maybe holsters, but that looks like a specialty all its own. I just ordered up this and this from GoodsJapan. I'm lucky enough to live just up the freeway from a Tandy, so I'll head over this weekend to pick up some leather and finishing stuff. What's a good option for introductory punches and snap/rivet setters? Are the Springfield Leather (Craftool or Osborne I guess, doesn't say) ones any good? I've scoured leatherworker.net and all I can find is references to mail-order catalogs (they still have those?), and "Tandy is junk rabble rabble China!  "
