Hello,

I think there's no short cut. It takes time to get there. Practice makes perfection.

Thanks man.

To make a pricking iron is quite simple - you need only a piece of sheet iron (ca 1 mm thick), hacksaw and triangular needle file. And some measuring instrument, of course. I like to make my tools myself, moreover it was relatively difficult to buy any leather working tools here in the Czech Republic several years ago so that I was really forced to DIY. An idea:

Sorry, I'm not able to insert image, I'll try again.

Hi Dany,

Thank you.

I admire that you can make tools yourself.

It's kind of easy to get leather tools in Taiwan.

But I do love "everything" that made in the USA, such as jeans,shoes,boots,backpacks...of course, leather tools.
