About this listen

Suppose you have to appear for an exam next week; who would be the go-to person for seeking help and guidance?

Option one: a subject-matter expert (SME) who has been studying/teaching the subject for several years and often assumes while explaining that the basics are covered or looks at it from their frame of reference.

Or option two: 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 number two, you are in the right place.

The audiobook 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, and ergonomics
  • Appendix: list of online resources available for free patterns, tips, and techniques.

I still remember the initial doubts I had and the tips that helped me.

This audiobook is for people who are in their first lap (zero to three years) of their leather-crafting journey and want to have a holistic idea of processes and tools and need help in their initial projects.

So, what are you waiting for?

Good in parts

There are quite a lot things in this book which I find are entirely wrong from the information and skills learnt on courses, other books and some of the excellent YouTube channels run by well established and highly experienced people.
The person reading it does not know the correct pronunciation of quite common words and common leatherworking terms. this maybe due to where the individual comes from but I would have thought the audiobook publisher would have corrected these errors. It made listening hard work.
There is some parts that are good but if you are just starting of I would say look at other books first and when you've been doing the craft for a year or so you could listen to this to get those parts that are good. Rather than starting off doing things outrightly wrong and which could cause additional cost in tools and time.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
