_Pegan working with leather seven years ago when I stumbled cross it during the hunt for the perfect collar for my dog, aco. Since I’ve never taken a class, most of the following techniques are either self-taught or passed on to me by old-time leather workers.

When working with leather, remember that it falls under the
same rules as wood, metal, and stone: measure twice, cut once,
and when you can’t beat it, learn to work with it.
