This is the first video I've found that has explanations, and some explanations those are! You are a fountain of knowledge, dear sir, thanks so much for posting this!!

You use a straight awl and hammer hitting the awl from the welt side to the outsole side. Aim the awl so the awl blade pops out exactly in the stitching channel. Forcing an awl through upper and lining leather is easy, but you aren't supposed to go through the thick leather of the outsole and welting by hand. You use a hammer. Set the shoe sole side down on a plank on your lap and hit the awl through the welt/sole

I'm having trouble making the stitching holes through the welt and sole. Any tips or tricks in trying to neatly and uniformly go through so much leather
