Gregspitz Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
