you can always glue before stitching for extra insurance

I made a hole punch from an old stainless steel fork. Shorten and twist the tines and then sharpen them easy peasy ;). Nice even spacing for your holes. I brazed it to a bolt to make it a little more robust but I don't think it's necessary.

what you mean with inside of the Stitch? 

Ricardovanleeuwen:
Smart hole punch, i dont have a old fork, only have one and that's a bendy handle(lol)
 Might use a Saw blade for It wich is used on the Bahco brand hacksaws for Wood. I also Saw An old mauntainbike at the garbage so might try to get a gearing from it and sharpen the points so i have a roller punch, if none Will work out il use my fork to press Dots in the leather and Just use An awl
