Best Method/tool For Punching Holes

Recommended Posts

That's right folks, title says it all.

I've realized that something that seems so simple in the beginning of leather working can turn very complicated, and I like that. My question to you is what is the most efficient and precise tool/method to punch holes? Check out someone like faler brands work to see what I'm talking about

If you run Faler and see this you do great work, good job.

What're your thoughts on the method of using a pricking wheel->punch out all holes with an awl-> then stitch all holes?

I've used a pricking iron and have hammered out all of the holes and it's worked fine because I use thicker thread but I'm switching to .6 mm and I need the holes I punch to be smaller.

Share your TECHNIQUES!!

Thanks guys

I been thinking of using a pricking wheel with edge guide, pricking iron then awl. This way there will be no scribe line visible after you stitch.

Another piece of information I read is pricking right in the middle of a line so there is no scribe line either it just seems so difficult to get this right.
