Sprocket Report post Posted April 17, 2024 I've been doing some lacing and using the typical c.s.osbourne #41 lacing needles with the 2 prongs - I've been dealing with pull-out and splayed sides. One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to reset the prongs once they get flat... Is there a method to push the prongs back up once they get a little flattened? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GerryR Report post Posted April 17, 2024 Do you have a picture of what they look like now? Osbourne has two-prong thronging chisels; they have hardened prongs and should be used over a board, or something reasonably soft, so as not to damage the tool when punching through leather. Lacing "needles" are a different animal altogether. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its a case of bending them up again using needle-nose pliers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket Report post Posted April 19, 2024 Thank you - I think I need to be a bit more - delicate - when setting the lace in the needle... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
