I'd love to get into leather (not the black shiny type you see on dodgy web sites) but the crafty type so I'll also watch with interest.

Why not come to the Cornwall RV at Easter guys. I'm pretty sure that Neil or Leon are doing leather crafting workshop. They will be able to answer all of your questions and put you straight on what kit you need to get started.
