    Just wanted to kick this off as I have seen some members talking about getting into Leather ( ) and requiring the basis of a Tool set to start with. Don't want you spending money on new tools if we can provide at a better price via a Group Buy.

    Available Numbers on this Group Buy MAY be limited , so if interested you may want to form an orderly que.

    Ditto.

    I just shelled out for a few basics, but a GB deal is the best kinda' deal

    I'd be interested in it, especially if there's a little flexibility and/or upgrade potential.
    Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best. Live somewhere inbetween.
