Looking for the following leatherworking tools
[list:bc75dff47a]
[*:bc75dff47a] Circular leather cutter - 85-90mm diameter
[/list:u:bc75dff47a]

Also looking for a supplier, preferably based in Darwin, for sheets of leather and leather thongs (basically leather rope) of perhaps 6-7mm diameter.

Does anybody know of anywhere we can get these. We will need a long-term supply of leather, so once-off purchases are not the preferable method.

Wrong again, my suit of chainmail is in the works though.

A few will know what the tools are for, the rest of you will find out later. I somehow expect you will have difficulty guessing.

That's what we're looking for. We need to cut leather disks to create the bases for what we're making (chainmail would scratch tables).

We also need a source of leather to cut.

Check out your local Hardware store and that outdoor person's shop across from OPSM as Casuarina (if it's still there). If you hate going out into the sunlight and being around other people in a relatively open area, try some of the online hardware stores.
