This skill is used with the 'make' command.

Leatherworking allows you to make pieces of armour from skins you have
acquired by skinning dead animals and other creatures. You need a set of
leathercrafters equipment to start crafting. You might also have to
combine a few pieces of skin to get a large enough piece. Reinforced
armour -- ring mail, studded, bezainted, scale mail or brigandine -- is
made in two halves. A smith forges the metal component; you keep that
component loose in your inventory and marry it to a skin at your
leathercrafting equipment, naming the armour type in the item, for
example 'make ring mail vest from wolf skin using rings'. You can check
the pairing before you spend the skin with 'estimate <skin> for <item>
using <component>'. For reinforced armour the size of the piece follows
the size of the reinforcing material. The value of what you make follows
the value of the skin (humanoid skins are known to be worthless) and of
the reinforcement, its size and its toughness. Your knife, dexterity,
wisdom, training in leatherworking, craftsmanship and fine hand
coordination, and the type of armour you are making will also play a big
role.

The set is carried with you: 'setup equipment' lays it out and 'pack
equipment' puts it away again. A province Workshop with a leatherworks is
the other place to work -- its station is permanent, so there is nothing
to set up or pack, but the local leatherworkers will not share their
bench until you hold Trusted standing with that settlement. The crafting
commands are the same at either:
  make [amount/all] <item> from <skin> [size <size in cm>]
  make [amount/all] <item> from <skin> using <component>
       [size <size in cm>]
  make [amount/all] dragonscale <item> from <scale type>
       [using odd-looking scales] [size <size in cm>]
  estimate <skin> for <item> [using <component>] [size <size in cm>]
  combine <skin1> and <skin2>
A number in place of the amount makes that many, and 'all' keeps the batch
going as long as it can: 'make all caps from wolf skin'.

As well as armours you can also make the following objects:
ammo pouch, arrow case, arrowhead case, bag, cross scabbard, dagger
bandolier, design case, huge scabbard, quiver, quiver carrier, runed
arrowhead case, runed shard pouch, sack, shard pouch, sleeping bag,
sling, tent, twin scabbard, vial container and wallet.
