Hey leather crafters! New guy here but not new to crafting or tool use. Before posting a few days ago I looked for other posts and took what I could but still I’m not solving/finding my mistake. I’m hitting this thing so hard it feels dangerous honestly. I thought maybe I bought a bad punch (got it on Amazon, not fancy) but looking at the Tandy punches they look dull, so is sharpness not the key to a good punch? What am I missing? Any thoughts appreciated, Thank you!
