Diamond chisel round corners

[LionCrownLeather]

Hi

I just bought a good quality diamond chisel set but I am facing some troubles, not with the quality of the chisels but instead how do I get a consistent look. 

I will attach an image, I started on the right top side and worked my way down and then I used a 2 prong diamond chisel at the lower right round edge and continued to the left top angled edge (half a circle) and then I used my 9 prong chisel and punched a straight line to the top left part. Now would you have done the same? Is this a good consistent look regards to the diamond chisel punch holes? I feel like I am doing something wrong here.. The angled holes dont look consistent, on the left side they point more down compared to the right side the holes are almost vertical

It doesn't appear to me that those are diamond-shaped holes.  They are more slits to my eye.  Regardless, I guess the thing to focus on is how the slits are oriented to the lines and not to each other.  I agree when you look at one side and then the other it looks weird.  Stitch it up and then see how it looks.

Might also be influenced a little by the gap on the top of the right hand line.

Strange. I would think the left and right would match.

Make round holes around curves...you are not gonna have that problem anymore..especially in small radius curves. Also start making your holes from the center of the curve and work your way up on both sides..this way your last stitches , left and right side, will be equally distant from your key ring

Looks to me that half way round you picked up a different chisel as the interval on the right seems larger than the left. Do you have two sets of chisels from two different makers

I think they do.  If you look at them individually they are uniform.  If the OP had used a Portmanteau iron on one side they'd look the same.  I'd like the poster to do one side from the rear and see how that appears.  I'll be it will look like a mirror-image.

when using slanted chisels you have to go one way, you can not go both ways.  the chisel hole will not be visible after the stitching but he wrong way slant of the thread will be

@LionCrownLeather, I think it’s just an optical illusion. Here are your two edges next to each other, the angles look consistent. Ignore the spacing difference, I just zoomed differently on the two sides.
