I am a technology consultant with 10+ years of project management experience. Last 5 years I have been experimenting with leather crafting in the weekends. While starting learther crafting way back in 2014, I was desperately looking for the go-to guide for complete first-hand information about the processes and the tools involved. Online content was information overload and was not presented in sequence. The books I referred were either focused on a few processes or asumed that I had the necessary information. Also, I found that most of the books were a little aged. This book is for people who are in their first lap (0-3 years) of leather crafting journey and want to have a holistic idea of processes, tools, and need help in their initial projects. I have included photographs of realistic projects of beginners explaining the process and standard operating procedure while starting. In the last chapter, Appendix: I have provided the list of online resources available for free patterns tips, and techniques.
