TUTORIALS
Follow along with my detailed leather tutorials, woodworking DIY’s, and other how to’s. Over the years I have put together several tutorial posts with very detailed photographs of every step along the way. I like to share my own tips, tricks and mistakes made…so you can learn from them too! They can be a fun read even if you don’t end up making ’em! If you have questions on building any of the items – just post a comment on that page – I usually answer within a day.
