EDG - Leatherworking for Woodworkers 24-4

Instructor: Tim Moore

Assistant: Jim Spitzer

Prerequisite: Intro to the Guild

This 4-hour class is for students who want to design and produce durable and attractive leather sheaths for woodworking tools such as draw knives, spoke shaves, small saws and hatchets. This will allow them to store and transport edged tools more safely. Students will also get to try various leatherworking tools, in order to help them buy their own in the future. They should be able to go home with one sheath of their making, sewn and ready to apply a finish.

All basic tools for cutting and shaping leather, using the saddle stitch, will be provided.

Consumables such as leather, thread and needles will also be provided. Students are welcome to bring their own mallets, dividers, cutting mats, etc. Tim will provide a suggested tool list during class.
