Make Or Buy A Square Perforator Tool

[laco]

Hello,

I am trying to replicate square holes in leather.

They are: 1x1mm thick & 2mm apart.

I was unable to find a tool like that online, most tools perforate round or diamond holes, or the holes are too big.
I was thinking about making my own tool as well, however I am not sure where I would go about getting square-shaped pins.

Here's a picture of what I am looking to do:

Thanks!

Hobby stores sell small square tubing for model making. Not sure if it would be strong enough. You can also get solid square pins at some hardware stores, woodworking supply stores, machine tool supply stores, etc. You would have to machine it to make a cutting edge.

Also, check the hobby or scrapbooking stores for small square punches used on paper hobbies. No problem with repurposing as along as it works <g>
