    Default Question

    FS Powers,

    Leather punch ought to do the job nicely. To do it less nice, a sharp knife will do as well. It ain't exactly rocket/leather science.

    Good Luck,

    Unionblue, compliments

    Thanks for the advice. I once had instruction in leatherwork, my age was still single digits at the time.
