Parott1 Report post Posted February 28, 2014 I was looking into different ways to finish off a dog leash to make them look more professional. There is the English point route, but I don't really care for that. Osborne makes a multi use strap end punch. The tool seems to be made for wider cuts of leather and I'll be mainly working with 5/8" down to 3/8". Would the multi use tool be good for widths as small as 3/8" or would it be best to make a template and cut with with a utility knife or a round knife?

Dwight Report post Posted February 28, 2014 Get or make a punch, . . . or get a belt sander ($50 at Harbor Freight). Either will give you a fairly uniform and good looking end. They will also give you the ability to quickly finish the "end" problem. I make those kinds of punches, . . . conduit, . . . sharpened on a disc sander around the outside circumference, . . . then cut the edges to achieve the punch I desire.

Thanks for the picture! I saw a post from you before about making your own punches with conduit and wondered what they looked like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
