Members Gregspitz Posted March 1, 2016 Members Report Posted March 1, 2016 when I have to make a tapered watch strap that is much shorter than my dies I need to use a strap end punch or hand cut the english point, I try to center the punch after marking a center mark but all the strap end punches that I can find are bigger than an 18,16 or 20mm strap that I cut out. I use soft leather mostly and wonder if anyone has any tips to make this easier... thank you Quote

Members Birdman Posted March 16, 2016 Members Report Posted March 16, 2016 Use a pair of calipers to scribe the point and then cut with head knife. Quote
