"a good edge beveler and a slicker" get that stuff from Tandy too?

I'm off to Jo Ann Fabrics today to see what they might have.

Veg tan double shoulder, or where would I find strips of 2, 2.5 and 3" 55 or more inches long? Are these double shoulders pretty consistent in thickness?

Thanks for the help, this is great! Pics as soon as I get a few tools, some Chicago screws and leather. Already have loctite...

Edge beveler

Slicker

Also handy is the adjustable groover- not so much for the spoon, but for the cutter.

I'm fairly certain Tandy has straps in 60" and 72" lengths. You'll find that if you are buying veg-tan from Tandy that you'll have to do a fair bit of searching to find really good quality.
A lot of what they have is pretty... iffy in terms of quality.
