Members nneka22 Posted April 3, 2012 Members Report Posted April 3, 2012 I actually found a few tiny punches. Thanks for your reply earlier. I understand, definitely. How do you do the tiny holes in the brogue pattern? The smallest punch I have is 5/64 - is there one smaller than that?

AndyL1 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Do you have a picture of what the pattern looks like? I was thinking along the lines of this or similar (attached). I suppose one could be made fairly easy, just a plate of steel with the proper cutting tubes pressed through or welded in the right pattern.

Matt T Posted March 4, 2015 Report Posted March 4, 2015 Wow, that is quite a punch. I'd have to think about how that could be made in a cost effective manner. Would be helpful to have a closeup picture of that punch. Leathercraft supplies
Matt T Posted March 11, 2015 Report Posted March 11, 2015 Alright, good news. I think the medallion punch is a nice idea, and I was able to get a reasonable price on the punch tips by buying thousands of them. I need to make one first to confirm the labor cost, but ballpark figures for the price of a medallion punch is $50 + 1.45 per hole. I will have 1, 2, and 3mm hole tips. Leathercraft supplies

I'm anxiously awaiting to see what you come up with. EDIT: I just did a quick count on how many holes that would be. At $1.45 per hole this will get very spendy. Gulp. Still, it would be a great tool! Edited March 11, 2015 by AndyL1 Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook
