TLE: Using a Chisel On Multiple Plies Of Leather

We've had quite a few questions on how to punch through multiple layers of heavier leather with a stitching chisel and, if you punch the pieces separately, how do you make sure the holes line up. In this video, Chuck shows how to do this using a holster as an example. The leather is an 8/9 oz. and there are three layers, with both sides of the holster and the welt. We hope this is good information for you and helps answer some of those questions! If you're having trouble lining up the stitching holes on a gusset and main body, check out this briefcase video:    • Making a Handmade Leather Briefcase   #TLE #TheLeatherElement
