I just started leathercrafting a month ago and had neighbor problems immediately -- we're in a small apartment so space is also an issue. The ram doesn't have a hole in the bottom but it works fine for me just using my hand to hold the chisels up. My chisels are only 4-5 inches high, which is fine for the 6" height adjustable ram. The height adjusting screw that came with it was very loose, so I replaced it a spare nut and bolt. I also attached some cardboard and scrap leather to the platform on the bottom to protect the irons. It's been working great for me, and I'm really happy with how my stitches are turning out after just a few weeks. I haven't tried punching through really thick pieces yet, but I'm not sure I'll need it since I'm not a fan of the rustic thick look.
Scwleung: The wallet is beautiful and I love the European/Asian luxe style -- I've been super inspired by your projects, especially given the relatively short time you've been doing leathercraft.
