I'm wanting to get into making leather things (belts, sporrans, etc..) but I don't know anything really about leather or where to get it. What type and thickness do you guys recomend for specially belts and sporrans? I was looking for belt blanks online and I haven't found anywhere that sells blanks wider than 2 inches. I would like one in the 2 1/4 to 3 inch range. Finally what general list of tools do you recomend to have on hand? A Hay (or anyone one else living in germany) where do you get your leather in Germany? I know its alot of random questions, but I thought it might make for an interesting and informative thread. Thanks
