I'm thinking on that, still not sure. I'm buying the tools . If you know some basic kit for this would be helpful.

-only you need are 2 needle, for sewing

-I use 1mm waxcord

that is what I’m using, but maybe the professional strap maker can advise better tools

1mm round or flat? 1mm round is very thick thread. 1mm flat is ~1x0.5 mm so it's not as high, which many would prefer but it's a different look.

@bmsm Don't go crazy buying too many tools. Here's what you need to make a strap:

Cutting surface - self healing mats are good.
Cutter - I use various Olfa blades because they are the sharpest I've ever seen.
Steel ruler.
Some kind of contact cement. Tube will ususally say it's good for leather. Something called Shoe Glue will usually be a transparent contact cement. If you're doing a full stitch, then the glue is not very important and you don't need to use a lot.
The hole puncher tafari suggeted is fine. I'd say no bigger than 4mm.
Needles should be blunt tipped.
A compass to mark the stitch line so the stitch is straight.

Hello everyone!
Friends I need advice. I have two leather straps.
I want to dismantle one strip and put it on the build 3646, is it real or will I ruin the straps. THX!
