Buy good quality tools to start with and avoid the cheap Chinese stuff sold on EBay. Harness needles, a Stitching Groover, a # 2 or 3 Edge Beveler, a razor blade Utility Knife, a Boner made of plastic , bone, or deer antler, a Stitching Fid, and a Stitching Wheel will get you started. I cheat a little by laying out my stitching pattern with my Stitching Wheel and drill my holes with a 1/16” drill bit in my Drexel tool. Google is your friend to locate catalogs that show the necessary tools. Since not too many tools are needed, it will be best to purchase name brand tools such as those made by Osborne. Tandy makes some cheaper but serviceable tools too. Good luck.
