Need Some Help

[tardis86]

I ended up buyibg the proline on amazon for $14 shipped. I figure for the price its worth a shot

[Dangerous Beans]

the last 2 projects i have done havent turned out so well.

for starters, when i tried using my chisel to punch the holes, the glue didn't hold and made it all crooked as seen top left.

i then tried using a dremel to drill the holes with not much more luck.

i use rubber cement to glue stuff together, should i get something better?

should i maybe punch the holes in the front piece first to make it easier to go through the back piece?

is the leather too thick?

i feel like im missing something here, i put alot of time in this stuff and it looks like crap.

any helpful ideas are appreciated.

This should help you out Tardis, if your not sorted already.

And an idea of the stitching using the saddle stitch.
