First Try - Leather Arm Chair

But I bet you can make the money back.
Everything to do with doing a good job costs a lot of money.

Hi Julian great work and pictures. The cost of the kit can soon be recouped with a couple of good jobs like this. The course and kit together are heavily discounted to get you up and running. It also covers all the support you ever need so is well worth the money!!!
Cheers

yes, sorry guys I didn't mean to imply that it wasn't worth the money, cos I think it absolutely is. It's a fabulous package of kit that does contain all you would need to do some serious work that could easily be recouped with a few jobs. And as Judy says, she does some great discounts for attendees of the course.

and as Judy also says, the support you get from her is first class, and you can't put a price on something like that..
Hope that clears things up!

Agree!
You don't become a great carpet cleaner with a rug doctor and a broom do you.
A Leather repair specialist requires a bit more kit as well as training.

So how much is the 'tech tool kit'?
Looking at that result the course is clearly worth it.

 

[Judy Bass]

If you book your course and kit together the 'Tech Tool Kit' is £1500 + vat. Cost would be nearly £2K if bought separately. Cost can also be split over 3 months if it helps with cash flow.

Now booking into 2015!
If anyone wants further details please let me have your email address

Judy will have to tell you the prices as there were all kinds of different combinations of products depending on how far you are wanting to take it, as well as different combinations of discounted course fees + Toolkit prices, so It's difficult to say. but you can probably expect to pay in excess of £1000 for the kit + course fees. But that is for a lot of stuff including all the pigments/ dyes/ recolour pigments, airbrush, colour matching machine, leather bible, microscope, cleaning kits, finishes, hairdryer, special iron, etc, etc. It's a very comprehensive kit, with all the stuff being high quality as well.

Mine came with a nice aluminium flight case as well as a box full of stuff. I've also bought one of those triple aluminium case packs from maplins ( http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/flight-case-triple-pack-with-dividers-n50ju ) and spread all my stuff between the four cases. If I ever get a leather job I will look a right bobby dazzler turning up with all my cases.

Edit: Judy beat me to it with the prices!
