I moved your post to leather sewing machines. If you haven't looked at this thread, you really should.

IP address shows Valenciennes, Hauts-de-France, 59300, France @el_pipou You should put your general location in your profile. It helps get info relative to your location.

Tandy has these 2 prong strap hooks. https://tandyleather.ca/collections/buckles/products/2-prong-strap-hook-solid-brass. The single prong "Mechanics Buckle" I got from https://springfieldleather.com/products/buckle-mechanics

Do a search for mechanics belt. It doesn't have any exposed metal parts the can damage fenders, etc. while working, leaning against the car to reach what you are working on. Some people also refer to them for use by people that are allergic to metal as the hook is not exposed, not against skin.

I moved your post to Patterns and Templates. Of all the different forums, this seems to be the best fit.

Helps if you quote a part of the post or tag the user so they get a notification in case they don't have notifications setup correctly. @esheeran

I did that for a 4" hole saw. When you get down to the base of the teeth and sharpen it, you are into soft material. The edge rolls over if you don't come down perfectly square, then have to take more material off and sharpen it again. I guess I should try heating and quenching it to harden the edge. Lots to heat to an even temperature before quenching.

It works well. I will remove a number of post that distract from the intent of your post.

I would suggest you join the forum. There is no charge and you can post in the proper part of the forum, and not have to wait for a moderator to approve your post for it to be seen. Post in Leather Sewing Machines.

Using LW's search for "drill press" AND stitching brought up lots of hits, most not fitting what we want. Down 20 or 30 items, found a good hit. Better to try a google search like this site: leatherworker.net "drill press" sewing stitching -machine -motor Site: tells google to search the listed site "drill press" quotes tell google to include both words, not individual -machine tells google to ignore machine The google search engines are much faster and easier to select the parameters you want and don't want. Add or remove additional parameters as you like.

This option is so the motor can be mounted left or right or some other permutation depending on how it is belted, whether the motor is on the left side of the drive belt or right side. If you turn a sewing machine backwards, the hook can't pick up the top thread, and you will likely get into quite a mess. Reverse lever on a sewing machine reverses the action of the feed dog and walking feet, not the hook action.

Have you done a search here to see what has been posted? You could search for drill press and related keywords.

As mentioned in a couple posts above, pig skin is great for liners and pockets too. It is tough and durable. If you are making lots of card slots that overlap, any leather starts to get thick, so as above, fabric works well too, though not as durable as leathers. I have used coated polyester. It lasts between 5 and 10 years when carried in your back pocket every day.
