Nuttish Report post Posted September 4, 2015 I don't like how diamond shaped holes look when cross stitched to join edges. I've never seen round point lacing chisels, so I thought I'd ask. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zuludog Report post Posted September 4, 2015 I've never seen a round chisel either, but you could contrive something yourself by marking the positions with a pricking iron or an overstitch wheel and then making the actual holes with some sort of stubby round awl like an old dart head or a cut down scratch/round awl.

Nuttish Report post Posted September 4, 2015 This is for prototyping for production. I don't want to punch hundreds of holes by hand. I'll eventually have dies made, but I'm looking for an interim solution that won't give me carpal tunnel syndrome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferg Report post Posted September 4, 2015 If I was going to build a prototype of what you speak....... I would buy stainless steel tubing the size you need for your holes, grind the outside diameter perfectly. Use a stainless steel channel the correct size for the OD of the tubing. Drill holes in the channel over each tube to place a screw that would thread into the end of the tube to hold them in place thus making the tubes replaceable/sharpened. You would then need a fixture for the channel that could be fitted to what ever machine/press you desire. You would also need a hole in the side of each tube for dispensing the leather divit. Just my .02 lol ferg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
