About this episode
IMatt sits down with Shane from Bow the Maker to talk about the tools every leatherworker thinks they need — and the ones that actually matter. From $12 Amazon pliers to top-shelf skiving knives, they break down which tools perform, which ones disappoint, and how to buy smarter without wasting money. The two also tackle social media “tool envy,” influencer reviews, and how to build a functional bench setup at any level. “You don’t need the prettiest tools — you need the ones that work for you .” 💬 Join the Leather Shop Discord 🧰 Check the Amazon Tool List 👉 Follow on Instagram: @leathershoppod 👉 More episodes: leathershoppod.com 👉 All links & resources: Linktree Support us on Patreon
