I'm referring to the Al Stohlman book entitled "Leathercraft tools" (How to use them and How to sharpen them). I just ran across my copy in the file cabinet and it reminded me to mention it. It's been in print for many years and it's just as valuable and viable today as the day it was first introduced. My copy is many years old and I have it practically memorized but it is absolutely full of tips and tricks and illustrations on just about any tool you'll ever see or use in leather craft.

It's available from Tandy/LF and probably Amazon and many other sources. I'm thinking you'll agree it was some of the best money you ever spent. Investigate! You'll be glad you did.

Thanks Paul. This is timely for me. I was just scratching my head today on how I might sharpen something that I frequently use that is no longer performing like it used to. Sounds like this book might have the answer for me.

I'm on it, Paul. I have had it for some time - but never cracked it.
