I imagine I should find a book to tell me how to do that.
A great booklet (at a great cost - around $3.50) is the Boy Scouts of America's "Leatherwork" Merit Badge Pamphlet. You can pick it up at your local scout office (locator available at http://www.scouting.org/councils/ ). It covers the tools and techniques for tooling leather - transferring patterns, cutting, etc. It's probably going to answer 99% of your questions, and has been recently revised with the assistance of the Leather Factory.
