- In this 9-minute tutorial, you will learn everything you need to know to set your first copper rivet. No need to be intimidated by these rivets! In fact, I bet that after you give them a try you'll enjoy them as much as I do. I appreciate you watching, and as always, I invite you to let me know in the comments if this was helpful and tell me what you'd like to see in future videos. Thanks again for watching!
With Gratitude,
Tanner
By the way, the rivet setting tools I used here are from Buckle Guy (an affiliate partner). I've tried several setters and these seem to work exceptionally well. Here's the link if you'd like to check them out! bit.ly/3rv2vem

Tanner. A couple of things. Being a graphic designer, a drawing or diagram is successful if it conveys an idea. Your drawings are perfect for that no matter how you think they look. It helps to understand exactly what is going on with a diagram. Excellent. Also, the doming tool is something I have never seen before. Watched a lot of copper rivet demo videos. Your video is the first I have seen shape the other side of the rivet. Again. Terrific.
Thank you, Bruce-- that means so much. I love to hear that my teaching style works for you! I really appreciate your support and kind words. Cheers, my friend!
I agree. I’ve never heard of doming the back, or thought of peeling back and forth btw hammer and peeling tool. Is there another way to make a leather washer if I don’t have a large punch like your 5/8th” punch?

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can offer me.

So pleasing to listen to your clear, well spoken instruction. It seems as if you are comfortable just being yourself speaking rather than having a youtuber tone and intro. Refreshing ... Thank you!
I watched my dad when I was a kid do this stuff,he made harness from small to large ,I still have some of his stuff copper rivits and some tools,lord I miss those days,seems no one even cares about the old ways anymore,
Reminded me of senior school in the mid 60's when they taught you useful metalwork and joinery skills that you remember and use for the rest of your life 👍
I loved high school shop classes! Definitely some very well-spent hours at school! Thank you so much for watching!
You're a thorough teacher. You produce clean work
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I appreciate you watching!
You come up with some of the best videos
Yours are short, clear, concise and you speak clearly to educate us whom are not native English speakers.
I write from Quito, Ecuador
Many greetings!
Best video on copper rivets Period. THANK YOU!
You sir are a phenomenal teacher. Poignant, direct without being authoritative, knowledgeable and sincere.
Makes me appreciate the craft even more.
This is such a good tutorial. Your teaching style is A++ so easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
I love your laidback style of instruction. You are able to explain the steps in detail without dragging it out. That sir is a skill most people on CZcams do not have. I am new to leather craft and your content is extremely helpful. I also find the time to get out in the garage after the family goes to bed. Keep up the fabulous work.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you’re here! Enjoy those nights in the garage (and especially enjoy your family)! I’m right there with ya!
I guess you really do learn something new everyday. I have been using copper rivets on my leather craft for a while. But i did not know you could dome the flat side of the rivet. So thank you for the unique info. Keep it up.
Same.
Those are clearly the best tool set for the task-- soooo many Chinesium tools on Amazon and ebay and the reviews portray them badly.
These tools he uses appear to be first-rate.
I found a couple boxes of copper rivets my grandfather had. He tanned buckskins and worked with leather. I didn't have a clue how the rivets worked. Thank you for the insight!
Thanks for that. I didn't know the leather washers served a functional purpose. I put them in the first tote bag I made because I had seen it done elsewhere and liked the look. Glad to know they have a function. Reviewing that first tote bag, I had used size 9 rivets because I didn't realize there were other sizes. LOL That was hard work. I prefer to use 14s now (with the 3-part setting tools demonstrated). Aren't learning curves fun!
My pleasure! I’d love to see you’re with sometime! If you’re on Instagram, send a message sometime!
@@ClaridgeLeather Done! Thanks for your response.
Copper and leather, peas and pods. 👌🏼
Ooh, I agree! 🤩
Thanks for the post! Marysville , MT here!!! Well that’s where I grew up and lived 22 years😊
Copper rivets were also used by bicycle saddle makers (Brooks still uses them). They typically joined the back of the saddle to the frame. When riders legs get tired, you can take a break by sliding back on the saddle so you are using different muscles. You could tell when riders were getting fatigued when they would "ride the rivets". Sorry, just a little cycling and leather trivia.
Oh man, I love it! Cycling has been a huge part of my life (mostly mountain biking), but I’ve never heard “riding the rivets”! So interesting!
Video's like this one have made my journey into leather crafting much more enjoyable and my products more professional and durable. Tanner I want to personally thank youfor all you give to the leather crafters of the world! Please continue to teach and inspire us.
I've never seen doming the head of the rivet before! That's brilliant! Thank you Tanner, for sharing your knowledge. You explain things very clearly and I appreciate that!
Excellent job. You’re a teacher at heart. I love it.
Really useful - thanks for that. You've simplified a whole project!
Thanks for the video! Surprising how even the simple things like rivets need to be explained to beginners like me! Much appreciated!
Really well portrayed, you packed a lot of great data into 9 minutes.
I have several many films on this topic, you were kind that you linked or mentioned to the best tools and rivets as well.
Tanner, one thing that I like to do on our leather aprons is place all the burrs the same way. What I mean is, if you look at the burr you can tell which way it was stamped out of a sheet of copper. The look and feel is different from side to side.
I hear you on that! A little detail that makes us happy, right? I love the aprons you all make!
So assuming my old eyes can see the difference, which side do you put against the leather? Or do you mean to just be consistent?
@@bagramdave883 in the big picture it does not matter . For me, it’s a mater of consistency like you mentioned.
@@pmelchman PS. Where can I see some of your aprons?

Yes..I'm a new fan of your channel. Very informative and clear instructions.
Great informative instruction Tanner! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video lesson in details. I was not so sure of copper riveting for so long. Now I fully understand how the thing works. Thank you again !!
Please keep doing the videos. You do it at the right pace and with simple enough instructions that it really makes sense. I am about to do my first tote. Thanks
Thank you so much for this very thorough video!
Awesome video! Love me some copper rivets!!!
Hi. Great stuff for someone in need of tuition like me! Thanks, you’re a good teacher. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for a clear and concise video. You showed this can be done with minimal tools.
Great content! Subscribed a while back and I keep finding more gems. Thanks for sharing your passion, it's helping me get back into the craft.
Beautiful! I'm a metal worker and fully appreciate your use of copper rivets (with a few extra steps).
Good job, You made everything perfect, with no boring long no needed talks. Thanks and wish you good luck.
That was really very helpful. Thank you so much for posting this.
You are a very good teacher.
Thank you for doing this videos. I've learned a lot and I'm using that stich you showed in a previous video. Looks awsome.
This was amazing! I admit, I was leery of rivets. But, you made this so simple! You’re a great teacher! Thank you!
Very cool - I've never used these, but now I have the confidence to try! Thanks for the info!
Sweet! I have a real fondness for them, personally... I think you'll enjoy them! Thanks for watching, Ethan!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I love to see people making quality things that are functional and will stand the test of time. Cheers, Rob.( from Tasmania)
Thank you, Rob! I really appreciate you watching!
Enjoyed your video. Clear and concise. Haven't tried rivets yet. But I will try now.
Excellent explanation…clear description on how rivets are used. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up with the good work ❤️❤️❤️❤️
great video. very informative. i have watched a bunch of videos where they used rivets in the project and i always wanted to try it, but had no clue on the rivets or tools i would need. thank you for sharing. this video was a huge help.
Loved your video! You're an excellent teacher and sound like a very decent guy!👍
just started watching more of your videos, so well made and very well explained. Thank you so much for taking the time!!
Love your work mate.
Very helpful and informative. Well done video. Thank you.
Thank You so much for taking the time and making these videos. I learn so much
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I have the same setters as you and thought I was using the doming tool correctly, but you’ve confirmed it. 🙂
Perfect! Happy crafting!
Great video! The Cooper rivers are beautiful.
Great video and great explanation, thank you.
That's awesome! I love to craft & learn about new tools & techniques. Great tutorial. Now I need to go buy me a kit!
Love it! Copper Rivers look so clean 👌🏼
Thanks, Will!
First of your videos I've seen and wondered why it was dark outside and yet you weren't British but you strangely answered all my questions and got subbed. Good video by the way.
Had to come back and edit, I don't think I've seen such a consistently nice comment section either.
Thank you! That means so much to me! It’s always dark because the leatherwork happens when the kids are tucked into bed! It’s a late-night affair, normally. 😀 I really appreciate you watching and leaving a nice comment- welcome, and keep in touch! -Tanner
Thanks a lot ~~!
I am happy to learn how to use tools.
Very interesting to watch and learn. Thank you so much for taking time to make these for us.
Watching everything, professor. Grateful for your content!
Thank you so much, Otavio!
Hi Mr. Tanner, here from Brazil i say, your teaching method is very cool. Thanks
Excellent video!
Thanks so much, Tanner!
My pleasure-- thanks so much for all your support!
Thank you Tanner!
I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. You take the time (and close ups) to make your how to videos easy to understand. Having been a design engineer and drafting person (old school pencil and drafting machine) I appreciate your sketches; they always make it easier to understand. 👍👍
That’s awesome to hear, Douglas! My background is in engineering as well, and I always enjoy getting out in the pencil and paper!
I am a huge fan of the copper and brass rivets, and I always learn something new watching other makers. Thank you!
So glad you found the video- thanks for watching! I am a big fan of these rivets as well!
This is my first video to watch, and it's fascinating.
Awesome! Welcome! 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Love the washer idea!!! Thanks Tanner!
Right on! Wish it were my original idea... but it's a good idea to steal and use :)
Your video was great. I have the rivets and tools and haven’t used them yet. Now, I think I’ll practice tomorrow. Thanks
Great!! I love to hear that! Have fun! 🔨
great video, Ive always loved copper, annealed it makes a good choice with leather. . made a copper rivet pirates chest . those rivets have a captive washer, nice.
Hey Tanner, I’m new to the craft and still learning the basics. Your videos are helpful and I’m looking forward to more. Looking forward to some more great content. Cheers.
Excellent! I love to hear that! Thank you for watching-- I hope you get some good info in future videos as well!
Great video man. I've watched quite a few copper rivet videos and i think your did the best job of explaining, not only, all the steps, but the reasons why. Thank you
That means a ton, Nate! Thanks so much for watching! -Tanner

I'm new to leather work, thank's man, you're awsome!!
Happy to help! Cheers!!
Thanks for sharing, love this video, I'm a young beginner on leather stuff, and I learned a lot from you, please make some more, greetings from Bali
Hello! Thank you for watching! I am so glad you are here! Looking forward to making more videos that will hopefully be helpful to you! 🙏🏼
Thank you for doing this! 🙏😊
You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
This is nice. I'm thinking about using more rivets than I have been.
Awesomeness. Thanx for sharing your video. GBU
This is a good channel for leather learning . . . thanks for sharing.
You are sure welcome, Jeff. Just getting started! Can’t wait for what’s to come! Thanks for watching!
Hi loo I've your work you inspire me in this hobby I'm a maker by hart love making all kinds of stuff wish learn more about weather working from you seem like a great teacher thanks brother keep your great work up
Very good information thanks
Love the video . Yeah I do relate to you; Wife, Kids and dishes 😁 no shame my Brother . Just started this Leather craft hobby.
You’re awesome !
God Bless
Excellent!!
Thanks, Tara! I hope you have fun with the rivets!
I can’t explain how appreciative I am that you are a detailed visual learner as well as I am. Thank you so so much. You’re the very first one that genuinely provides my “but why’s” visually 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you, Gabriella! 🙏🏼
Great video my fellow craftsman you are a good teacher, thank you .Old Mountain Man firekeeper!
Excellent video, Tanner. Your shop looks so nice
Thanks so much, my friend!
Great videos 👍
Thanks so much for any knowledge you share. I learned from this video that these style rivets are so much more useful because you can snip them. My few attempts at rivets are buying 25 or 50 piece packs of exact sizes from Tandy that don't even set properly without a press of sorts. I'm totally going to try this style. Good looking and easily approachable for the hobbyist. You're so kind and helpful!
So glad you were able to gain something from this one! I think you’ll love using these rivets- definitely very versatile and a stronger connection than the double-cap rivets. Have fun!
Excellent demo. Looking forward to more.
Thank you, Bryan! More on the way. Keep in touch, and thank you for watching! -Tanner
Thanks for explaining how you complete your leather work. I have found your videos to be very interesting. Thanks for your time.
That’s so great to hear, Tom! I really appreciate you watching!
Great video!! Keep it up man! 🍻
Thanks, Brother!
Great video Tanner. I am only 5 months into leather craft and haven't tried rivets yet. I love the look of copper on leather. I will be trying it soon.
Thank you, Shawn! I’m do glad you’re here! I love the look of copper and leather too!
