New Class!
In this class we will cover several considerations of purchasing second tools for your leathercraft. We will discuss reasons to buy secondhand tools.
We will go into where to look for tools, which are high yield and some that are not based on my experience. There are some key points to look for and resources to learn how to identify tools and history of the older makers.
Condition is important and we will cover specifics of acceptable/not acceptable with hand tools, stamps, and bench machines. All these factors go into deciding your value and I will help you put that number together. That leads to making the offer or accepting the asking price. We will cover considerations with adjusting offers, negotiations, red flags, and closing the “deal”. There will be a special guest instructor and event to close out the class that you don’t want to miss.
