How to set brass rivet burrs also known as saddlers rivets.
These are harder than the copper ones I show in another film, and I am setting them much lower. I use a rivet set tool and a ball pein hammer to set them.
The particular rivets come from Tandy...and the ones used in the film are the number 9 size in brass.
Saddlers rivets are incredibly strong and great for use in leather work.

Thanks so much, Harry. I had bought these lovely rivets but I was not sent the washer so was completely confused how to use them. I am glad to see you have a hard time cutting the post as well, not easy. I have watched many of your videos and really really appreciate them. Thanks!

Tina Kam Hi Tina the copper ones are a lot softer...I have set 80 of these in the past 10 days and I am suffering!!!!

Thanks Harry. I'm in the process of making a bag and I'm using brass hardware. I thought "wouldn't it be nice to use brass rivets as well" . I forgot my metalwork teachings from forty odd years ago - brass is harder than copper! These are the first saddlers rivets I've set so, you know, in at the deep end!

@harryrogers 3 года назад

Yes I was a bit surprised at how hard they are!

Thank you for this, I'd been having a hard time with those brass rivets, I'll try cutting at them in three directions. Also love the idea of using a leather spacer to get the right height.

Harry , Just a thought as there is always more than one way to skin a cat , Drill a hole in flat bar the same diameter as the rivet The thickness of the Flat bar according to the height of the rivet Then shear off with a cold chisel I have used this method for years on steel rivets also works well

@omardumbrell435 6 лет назад

If you file the shank flat where you cut it you get a much neater head on your rivet.You can use 3 or 4 layers of masking tape with a hole in it as a guard if you're worried about scratching your work.

@joshmiller2725 6 лет назад

Really nice work. Thanks for the video on setting these brass rivets. They seem like they'd be ideal for straps where you need it to be flat on both sides. Copper rivets are difficult to get flat without looking like trash. Btw those knipex pliers are the best that money can buy. Anybody who will be setting more than a few rivets should buy them

@harryrogers 6 лет назад

Josh Miller Thanks Josh...also I have now found extra long Knipex which are easier to use.

@lexigrenzer6523 3 года назад

Hugely helpful, thank you. I particularly liked your use of the leather shim, when applied to the flush cutting. I'm finding that the surrounding area of leather takes quite a beating. Any suggestions for keeping that a bit less damaged? Thanks in advance!

@josefk7242 3 года назад

More hammering Harry - I'll have the neighbours driven 'round the twist with my leathercrafting endeavors. It was bad enough using stitching chisels - now I've caught the bug for burr rivets. I'll have the coppers rapping on the door before long.

Great videos! Are the rivets listed on Tandy as the “Utility Rivets 11280”?

@vieuxacadian9455 3 года назад

I have had so much difficulty with brass from Tandy as the washer holes are not correctly sized . I have had aluminum which is a nice option but hard to find . Tip copper can be darkened by dipping them in liver of sulfer disolved in water , look like gun blue but blackened .

@Weejie2011 3 года назад

I would imagine that composite cutters would make easier work of cutting brass rivets.

@popscratchie3985 2 года назад

Hi Harry, I hope you can give me some advice. I haven’t used these rivets, what I want to know is whether you need to have different sized setters for different sized/gauge rivets or are those type of setters universal.

@harryrogers 2 года назад

Hi I use a smaller setter for the smaller rivets. You could just drill a hole in a piece of hardwood to make a setter.

@beammeupscotty1955 4 года назад

Under what circumstances would you choose a brass rivet over a copper one of similar dimensions? Is it a structural decision or an aesthetic one?

Probably looks!

Hi Harry.Can we do the same with a hand press grommet?thanks.I learnt a lot with your videos.

@harryrogers 6 лет назад

Javier Flores compared to tin rivets these ones are tough so a hammer is needed...with tin rivets a press or tool is needed to keep the soft rivets profile from being damaged

@matojo2008 6 лет назад

Harry Rogers thank you.Now is clear for me.

@billwessels207 6 лет назад

Question? Why didn't you use the doming side of your rivet setter instead of the ballpeen.

@harryrogers 6 лет назад

Bill Wessels Hi Bill its set too deep...only of use for exposed rivets.

@pequodexpress 6 лет назад

I would love to see a tutorial on peening escutcheon pins/brass nails for the installation of brass locks on leather. I think key to doing this is to have a lead block strategically positioned underneath the lock, something I plan to experiment with soon.

@Octopusbeak 6 лет назад

Have the same type of rivet setter, and was thinking the same. I'm going to make a better one of silver steel. I spent a long time polishing the concave recess in the commercial setter, only to find it is far too deep to be useful, and the rim of the setter makes the washers all ugly. The hammered rivet finish looks nice too, esp. if the hammer face is dressed. Glistening facets-

@harryrogers 6 лет назад

Octopusbeak interesting and snap with the recess being too deep!

@nobracobra 2 года назад

hi what is the number on your knipex nipper pls/ty tyfs

@harryrogers 2 года назад

They come in two lengths, and the longer ones are best as you get more leverage. I think they might be 8 and 10 inch, so go for the 10 inch.

@plakor6133 6 лет назад

Do you dome your rivets?

@harryrogers 6 лет назад

xoney sometimes flat sometimes domed but edges always rounded....I like the look of domed.

@godofm3tal1 4 года назад

If you use a simple pair of wire cutting pliers and get the rod deep into the crotch of the cutting end, the leverage you get makes cutting much much easier. Those end cutting snips are famously poor leverage bearing cutters.

@darkvictoryarmory9031 5 лет назад

Cutting brass rivets using hand force is rough on those small muscles. Try using a small bolt cutter to gain greater mechanical advantage. I often place the handle of my cutter onto the bench and then lean onto the other handle. This allows body weight to do the work instead of finger strength.
