Members kyrrk Posted June 7, 2018 Members Report Posted June 7, 2018 Good day I am currently making a zip around wallet, I can't provide picture at the moment. I already punched hole on both inner and outer shell, but I'm having trouble attaching the cover. The holes just wont match. ;( any tips? Quote
Rockoboy Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 10 hours ago, kyrrk said: The holes just wont match On the few projects I have made, I have always layered the pieces together and punched (stitching chisel or rotary punch) right through all layers, so the holes match up exactly. One item I made was so thick that my stitching chisel would go right through, so I went as far as possible, then dis-assembled the pieces and punched the pieces where the marks were not right through. I had a couple of holes out of line a little bit, on the back because I mistakenly leant the stitching chisel over a little when punching the back piece.

Members kyrrk Posted June 11, 2018 Author Members Report Posted June 11, 2018 Thank you @Rockoboy I've temporarily attached the outer shell, carefully marked holes, then remove and punched through before I glued and stitched together. It's difficult at first but I've managed to finish it Quote
Rockoboy Posted June 11, 2018 Report Posted June 11, 2018 Well done @kyrrk. It does not matter how you have done it, you have finished with a high quality article with an excellent finish.
