Hi all

As per title, im wanting approx 1 sqr  mtr (i think) of leather to either make 1 big chisel roll or to make individual chisel holders.

But i have not got a clue what i actually need, had a look on various websites but get confused about the different types of leather.

Im getting together a really nice set of large framing chisels together, so i want something equally impressive to keep them in.

So any info and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

i use 2-3mm veg tanned leather for knife sheath making. it’s fun to work but you will need some tooling to do it.
dye flebings is good and easy to use.
awl - making holes to stitch through
edge setter - gives a straight line to stitch from
formed punches to mark and make initial holes
waxed thread
couple of leather needles
leather wax or balm for after
very sharp knife/scalpel
edge beveller
edge smoothing stick

these would be the minimum really to make what you want. wouldn’t be overly cheap, may be worth asking a couple of saddle makers if they can help?
