I've been into the store twice. The first time, I was a little nervous and had no idea what to do, I was interested in trying leather working, and one of the employees directed me to the pre-made kits.
The second tome after making my wallet, I decided to return for another kit, but the worker there stopped me and asked if I still had the instructions and the stencils of the one I bought previously. I said yes, and he asked if I was interested in buying a few of the tools and starting from scratch. I got a punch and some nice cheap leather I can mess up on.
These guys care about their customers and care about their work. If you're interested in trying your hand at it, just go in and ask them for help.
Also, one thing I wasn't expecting when owning a real leather wallet is how amazing it smells.

I was able to save some money on tools I didn’t need and use that money to purchase other supplies and leather . A great experience. Thank you Tandy and thank you Johan I felt very comfortable in the store and...

I would recommend them and will shop here again when I need...
