The thing is that anytime you are punching a bunch of holes in leather, you are essentially weakening it, and it will tear easier than solid leather.....just as a piece of perforated paper will tear easier than non-perforated paper. And the more holes you have. the weaker it will be. And the bigger the holes are, the weaker it will be. So, there is a point for any leather article where the finer the stitching is, the weaker the product will be. Of course, that is of little concern with dress belts, checkbooks, wallets, etc., but when it comes to horse tack like saddles, bridles, harnesses, etc., it becomes very important. You weren't talking about tack for toy horses were you? Quote (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV) And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !

LOL It is on the list of things to do.........a list that seems to get longer every day. And a list that seems to have a great many things of more importance since the wallet is still funtioning more or less. For example, I just finished installing a quick change gear box on my small Logan metal lathe and the next project is rebuilding the pump for my high pressure power washer. Leatherwork usually is something to do inside... when it's zero outside. Quote (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
