Did you use the Dremel method. My wuta pricking irons finally came today, but I was about half lit when I got home.

Oh yeah great job, they look really slick.

Yup half hour or so and you turn some pretty mediocre chisels into awesome ones! I can pull my six tooth out of 2 layers of 4 oz with one finger holding the leather down! I used to use a block of wood and the old wiggle move. :) 

I use a rubber mat that I purchased $5 it's only 1/4" thick but I split it and rubber cemented it together for a 1/2" thick chisel pad no need to wiggle wiggle any longer just buried the 10 tine in 12oz single layer and it slipped right out! I'm happy!

I hope the wuta irons looked better than these did! have you had the chance to use them?

Just a little test. They made nice looking slots. But I haven't gotten to sew anything yet.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
