Tips and coin purse

Update 30th May 2018.

Tips of the day.
Use a sharp self tapping screw to depress the protrusion after using diamond punch to punch hole on veg tan leather.
This will minimize rough edges during stitching work.

Tips of the day ** there is another workaround is use diamond punch until the other face side can see the first punch tip mark. Then on the other side to punch hole again using diamond punch.
hopefully this approach can help resolve issue with uneven punch mark on project.
