Leatherworking Starter Handbook: Beginner Friendly Guide to Leather Crafting Process, Tips and Techn

Imagine you have an important exam next week. Who would you turn to for help?

Option 1: A Subject Matter Expert (SME) with years of experience who might overlook basics and explain from their advanced perspective.

Option 2: Someone who started from scratch like you and just passed the exam last week. This person understands the exact process, challenges, doubts, and roadblocks you face and can guide you from your perspective.

If you chose Option 2, you're in the right place.

I'm a Technology Consultant, but my leathercraft journey began in 2014. I started from scratch, relying on countless YouTube videos, courses, and Facebook groups. After four months, I completed my first project, but not without feeling overwhelmed by the vast amount of information available.
