Nice work I must say!

I do need to ask you; What kind and weight of leather do you use for your ammo billets? Also; where do you get your leather for your belts and what weight do you use for them?

If you could get the punch in a press, with a fence. With an index post for the loop first punched, offset by one or two spaces, you could run them hoping along indexing off the just cut slots. If you needed to do curves, you could just pin index off a carrier.

That is a lot of nice leatherwork.

Good method Duke, looks like it would really cut your work time down and increase your profit by being more cost effective time wise,.

Thanks but I'll probably be blind before I could even think about doing production work.
I'm just doing it all myself because trying to find someone to do all I need is impossible.
They tell me 6 months to a years and I don't know if I'll live long enough to see it when I ship the funds off.
