Once the front and back pa els were finished, I cut and glued them up with the welt. The tooling was so close to the edges that I didn't want to stitch this up the sewing machine and risk marring anything. And this was too thick to hammer my stitching chisels through reliably. So, the awl it is. I used the chisels to mark the holes then plunged the awl.
