I was appalled to find out that my kid’s one required “shop”
class was technology - basically a combination of using a
computer, scissors, glue, and paper. Somehow I find that rather
juvenile for High School, and would much rather they had learned
something useful like which end of a hammer to hold, how to cut
wood or metal, or how to change a flat tire. Sadly, many schools
have cut back or discontinued their shop programs so it now
falls upon others to show our youth how much fun it can be to
make things with their own hands. This free guide for scout and
youth group leaders explains the basics of setting up a leather
crafting program for groups. It covers the basics from materials
to procedure, as well as hints and tips. See: Group Leather
Crafting Guide
