From the workbench
Real feedback from makers using Selmarenβ’ tools and project kits.
Handmade Card Holder Kit
The pieces were cut accurately and the instructions were easy to follow. I finished the card holder in one evening, and it looks much more professional than I expected.
Leather Pattern Template Set
The templates are sturdy, easy to trace, and save me a lot of measuring time. I have already used them for several small leather projects.
Leather Craft Starter Kit
I wanted to try leathercraft without buying every tool separately. This kit gave me everything I needed to complete my first wallet and learn the basics.
Leather Rivet & Snap Kit
The snaps and rivets feel solid and set cleanly without bending. The variety is useful for wallets, straps, keychains, and small bags.
Brass Leather Hardware Kit
The hardware has a substantial feel and gives handmade bags a polished, professional look. The color also pairs nicely with brown and black leather.
Vegetable Tanned Leather Sheets
The sheets arrived flat and evenly cut. They take stamping and dye very well, and the thickness is consistent across each piece.
Leather Knife Sheath Making Kit
The kit included what I needed to make a fitted sheath for my outdoor knife. It was a satisfying weekend project, and the finished sheath feels durable.
Leather Bag Making Kit
This was my first larger leather project, and the finished bag turned out beautifully. The design is practical and has that classic handmade appearance.
Leather Belt Making Kit
The leather feels thick and sturdy, and the finished belt fits much better than most store-bought belts. The project was straightforward and enjoyable.
Leather Wallet Making Kit
The materials were well prepared and easy to work with. My finished wallet is slim, holds everything I need, and has already started developing a nice patina.
