  1. Will it also punch the tiny holes through the thick leather that I typically use? Thanks again fellaz.
  2. Yes! Thanks for the replies and I would like to see what you mean by the thin leather. I avoided leather altogether for the inside because I didn't want anything to end up on my tablet but if it seems like it'll work I might use it for the next one I make for a friend (who'll pay me good money for it, haha.) who wants one for his tablet. my fault, the email is chrispatton5@gmail.com. Thanks.
  3. Hi there, I had finished this case of mine around the first week of January and I've been using it ever since to hold and protect my Microsoft Surface Pro tablet while I go to college. Anyway, I ran into a couple problems partially due to my inexperience and my fondness for my "just winging it" strategy. I had a rough time trying to knot the ends of my stitching without it ending up loose. Is there a way, and I'm sure there is, to end the stitching so that the stitching is super tight? Actually, that is the only problem I encountered. The stitching was some waxed bankline that I typically stitch with because it's super strong and holds its knotting very well. My leather was just a veg tanned shoulder piece that, if I remember correctly, was 6 mil leather? Maybe, it's some thick stuff. I used white treated canvas for the flap and stained it brown to match the stain of the leather a bit. I made the design stenciled it onto the piece and then burned the design in. Oh, and I glued some very soft blue fabric on the inside to protect my tablet from scratching or rogue leather particles from it. Lastly, I clear coated everything except the canvas to protect it a little. I know that was a long post, but I appreciate your feedback. -Chris Paton
