hi! i have come to an impasse. i am trying to build custom sails for my
ships, but have hit a couple of difficulties. first, what does one use to
punch or cut holes to mount them, and how do you cut them so they bulge
correctly? i have tried a couple of different methods for making holes,
including a punch, and cutting slits, but neither worked very well. also, i
have been cutting archs in the lower part of the sails to make them bulge,
but they do not do so evenly. if anyone has any suggestions, i would much
appreciate them!

thanks
steve

(...) Hi Steve, What I've found that works best for punching holes is a leather punch tool! It looks like a set of pliers only it has a wheel on the end. It allows you to select different sizes for the holes by dialing the wheel to the correct size. (...) (22 years ago, 13-May-03, to lugnet.pirates)
