First one with the arbor press! I punched through most of the layers but didn't force it into the leather to get all the way through. I used a new thicker awl to complete the holes to the back side. Pretty happy with this one!!




Next time I will rubber cement the belt loop on before punching holes and use my old drill press to punch the awl thru the remainder of the leather to keep everything straighter instead of doing it by hand with the awl.
