How To Punch Holes In Leather – So They Look Great – My Inspired Media.
How to punch holes in leather
I suppose you could use about anything to punch holes in leather,
but this is how to punch holes in leather and
do it right. I remember using an ice pick, a knife, a nail,
a hot wood burner tip and a number of other things to make holes
in leather with. The unfortunate thing about those methods
was the hole in the leather was not very clean.
How to punch holes in leather
About fifteen years ago I started working with leather fairly
steady. The very first thing I made was a leather extension
for hanging a cell phone holder on. At the time my stomach
was a wee bit larger and I needed something to get the top of the
cell phone away from my side. The cell had a small antenna
about one inch high. How to punch holes in leather is simple and in
expensive. Simply go to a leather supply company and buy a
single punch, or at about anywhere you can buy an adjustable wheel
punch. Some are expensive and some are really cheap in
price. Depends upon how they are built.
It is not an art in knowing how to punch
holes in leather, it is more of simply being exact.
When I say ‘exact’ it means that make sure the hole is aligned
exactly where you want it. I have seen commercial belts sold
and the snaps that hold the buckle in place is way off of dead
center. So if you are going to punch holes in leather,
especially ad series of them like on a belt, make sure you are
dead on.
I also work with leather. I am self taught. I have the rotary punch, but to make many holes along I have a punch that punches 4 holes at a time. http://www.logcabinleatherbyjan.net
