How to make a press for moulding leather pouches and such

[the deacon]

Thanks Brian.

I was thinking about adding a peg to my mould that would line up with the punched hole for the snap. This may stress/elongate that hole, but could also help mitigate pull down.

I had one printed in for that purpose originally but it broke off under the tension. I thought about drilling it out and replacing with a suitable nail size but as you say the hole would likely stretch longer and out of shape. It may be worth a try though.
