====Demonstration====
The demonstration for the leatherworking station will be an overview of the tools and techniques. Take a piece of scrap leather and perform the following actions:
*Take the strap cutter and cut a 0.5" strip of leather
*Practice punching a couple holes with either the rotary punch or the hole punch set
*Set the stitching groover to run a groove around the edges of your leather strip
*Use the edge beveler to round the top and bottom edges
*Burnish the edges of your leather strip with the wood burnisher, the burnishing cloth, or the burnishing attachment for the Dremel tool
*Prepare the leather for some hand-sewing by puncturing it with an awl or a stitching chisel
*Secure your leather strip in the stitching pony and-sew a few of the stitching holes you made
There are many more skills associated with leatherworking; this demonstration is only designed to cover the basics.
