OK I just tried to use 7" Dia cutters.... Couldn't cut the copper rivot..! What cutters are good for women having a lot less hand strength??

Great video, where did you get your lazy susan rivet organizers?

What size ball peen hammer do you use?

Can you use a brass burr with copper rivets? I'm trying to duplicate a WW2 GI leather item that appears to have brass burrs w/ copper rivets.

John, yes. We often times have some fun with mixing rivets/burrs whenever doing one off projects, which generally results in other customers seeing how unique it patinas. Best of luck!

Hey there. Love the video!! Thanks for posting!! The caddy you have your rivets in. I know you said it was from Weaver but I can’t find it. What’s it called? Thanks!

Or too much taking, not enough action

Hello. Good video. Quick question, will a #9 rivet setter work on #12 rivet? Since it’s smaller than the #9. Thanks 👍🏽

@abdiellopez-valenzuela9498 3 года назад

love the video and details. may i ask where you purchased the circular storage bins for the rivets?

@axeandawlleatherworks1454 3 года назад

Awesome. Glad it helped. They are from Weaver Leather

Great video! What it is that makes the Douglas tools an upgrade compared to the starter Weaver tool?

@axeandawlleatherworks1454 4 года назад

nobdow316 They’re much more refined with attention to every detail. In a way that helps with the finished look of your project. It’s common to have strike marks left behind with some of the standard tools, whereas these will not do that. Also, one of the tools will give you the option to dome the flat side of the rivet, adding a nice finished detail.

Are the black rivets tubular or the same as the copper and brass #9’s. I haven’t been able to find black ones.

I got a big batch of Tandy brass rivets that the washers were bored far to small , talk about a pain .

@axeandawlleatherworks1454 3 года назад

Sounds rough!

@AlexanderMason1 2 года назад

They are not too small lol. That is how they are supposed to be dummy. You have to set the washers with the rivet setting tool, then cut the excess and peen over. Did you even watch the video?

@vieuxacadian9455 3 года назад

Great video , thanks . FYI copper can be antiqued / blackened some by using a solution of liver of sulfur and water .
