## Description

Leathercraft: Traditional Handcrafted Leatherwork Skills and Projects [Armitage, Nigel] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Leathercraft: Traditional Handcrafted Leatherwork Skills and Projects

Review: Nigel Armitage is the master to learn from - In every craft, there are a few true masters. Learning from a true master allows you to produce high quality work. Nigel Armitage is a true master. He is also an excellent teacher. For people working with leather, this book is essential. Armatage’s lessons on YouTube are also excellent and well worth every minute of your time spent watching them.
Review: This book is a must-have instant classic. It is great for beginners and experts alike. - I have been watching Nigel Armitage's free leather videos on Youtube, his even better (not free, but cheap) ones on Vimeo, and have been reading his input on discussion forums for years. He is among the most widely-known modern leathercraft teachers and is generous with his knowledge and genuinely motivated by helping others improve their work. If you are considering entering leathercraft, I don't know of a better books to start with. It instantly ranks up there with Michel Valerie's Leatherworking Handbook and Al Stohlman's books on hand sewing or making leather cases... ... except that Armitage's book continues the important traditions of leathercraft while incorporating modern techniques that vastly improve the work of leatherworkers. This is especially true for beginners. For example, Armitage shows a hefty respect for hand sewing with an awl, but shows how the various stitching chisels or pricking irons can help beginners to get higher-quality results earlier on. He also explains the value of traditional thread while explaining the value in using modern, stronger threads. If you are looking for an excellent gift idea for an aspiring hobbyist or someone with lots of experience working with leather, this book would be useful to all. I am going to buy one for my local leather supply shop and one for my friends in the local leather hobbyist guild... because there is no way I'm going to let anyone borrow mine!
