Any leather working books with various plans that you know of and recommend?
I know there are a few books on making sheaths, I have one inbound, but I'm interested in anything that may have some plans, not just for knife sheaths.

While I started to mess around with leather just to make some sheathes, I recently finished a pistol mag holder that is very nice. In only a few projects I have really improved but am still a long way from being "Good".

I'm thinking maybe there are some older books with plans in them.
 
All 3 of the Al Stohlman case making books. He covers a huge variety of processes, procedures, design guidelines, tools and pattern making that can readily be adapted to almost any leather project. I believe Tandy still sells them. I have been making leather items for a great many years and I still pull them out for ideas and design approaches on challenging projects.

I will be picking up at least the three-volume set on making cases, looks to be what I was hoping to find, thanks.
 
Lots of patterns and templates out there too for just about any porject a guy could think of.
