maybe its just me or how I use my chisels but I have a hard time with the J.J. needles going through the 5mm holes

Depending on the thickness and type of leather, sometimes I have to use pliers for a few threads, then it becomes 0K for a few, then pliers again. If I chisel my stitch holes then leave my project for a few hours, I find the holes close up a little.

On some projects, I have no trouble at all.

Kindest regards

Brian

Thank you for responding, that makes really good sense to me.  I also don't hammer the chisels all the way through so the bottom may just have smaller holes.

Here is where I'm at so far.  I made a mistake while stamping, 1 stitching bole is too close to other holes for comfort, I'm not sure if the pattern is big enough for a full size trapper style folder, and I do not have enough thread to complete this project...  Oh and its labor day weekend so everything is closed and mail isn't running.
