    Looking good. Another thing that set our leather good apart was we didn't sew anything, it was all riveted with brass rivets. I think that's was their downfall though as rivets never fail, where stitching does. I had one of our wallets for 30yrs and I'd still have it if I'd not lost it. You can't find riveted leather goods anywhere and I think that's the reason. They want you to buy a new one when the stitching fails. I've had several leather wallets and the stitching always dies. Rivets are easy, you already have the punch. Just need a set. And personally I like the look of rivets.

    I don't think you'll find a rotary cutter in a leather store, but you'll find them in cloth and sewing stores. That's who mostly use them for cutting cloth cleanly. They are the best way to make long clean straight cuts.
