There are no downloadable PDF templates to accompany these videos. In these videos, you are taught to make all the templates properly which allows you to adjust each item to any size or purpose you want. Once template making is understood, you will have the ability to changed it, to suit any design, shape or size you want.
These are not just a series of ‘how-to’ videos where you are spoon fed each process! Each is a lesson in which you learn all the processes that will make you a more independent leatherworker.
