Man I agree! Soooo many of my tools are old!!!!
Looks like a dremel and "workstation", a small desktop drill press that fits a dremel essentially, would work well for all of these uses and would be cheaper and take up much less space than a full size drill press. I'd probably go with that or a similar alternative. About the same price and a cheaper bench drill press but more versitile with the downside of not being suitable for tougher materials.

My 'work station' arrived yesterday and I am excited! I am visually impaired, and old and I think this will be the ticket and will eliminate hours of trying to punch out holes. I just found Ira's site and I think I will ask him what type of drill bit would work the best. All the best to you and yours as this holiday season gets underway. Peace.
Put an awl blade in the drill press and use it to punch holes in real thick leather. Obviously you don't turn the drill on. Works better than drilling holes.

Wow that is a great idea, thanks!!!
My question to you is what type of drill bit do you think works the best? I just found your site and am impressed with your various skills. My Dremel Work Station arrived yesterday and I will be setting aside all of my hole punching tools. I am an older gentleman who is visually impaired and I think that this new setup is going to make my leather work much more enjoyable . A new subscriber by the way. Peace.
Awesome video, Ira! It's worth it just for the sander and burnisher alone! I never thought of using a polishing wheel in it, though!

Most jobs can be made with a Dremell. Takes less space.

Hmmmm… I’ve never owned a dremell. I like the stability of the drill press, but in a smaller work space I’m sure it would be a much better option!
Never used a drill press. Do I need a separate chuck for the burnisher?
What size drill bit do YOU use for stitching holes?

Hey that’s a great question. I generally use the smallest one I have, but I’ll double check for you when I’m in the shop later

Absolutely! When I moved and didn’t have a place to set up shop, I clamped my cordless drill to the kitchen table, put a zap strap over the trigger, and went to town!
I have 2 drill press. Do not use either one. I have special tools to do each job.
