Thank you for the info!
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??
Succinct and helpful ~ thank you
Great video, where did you get your lazy susan rivet organizers?
Hello. Good video. Quick question, will a #9 rivet setter work on #12 rivet? Since it’s smaller than the #9. Thanks 👍🏽
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!
Great video , thanks . FYI copper can be antiqued / blackened some by using a solution of liver of sulfur and water .
Thanks for the info!
love the video and details. may i ask where you purchased the circular storage bins for the rivets?
Awesome. Glad it helped.
They are from Weaver Leather
What size ball peen hammer do you use?
Great video! What it is that makes the Douglas tools an upgrade compared to the starter Weaver tool?
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.
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!
Great content! A little long, but keep up the good work.
Brad Holcomb Thank you! Appreciate the feedback, it helps us develop🙌🏼
Or too much taking, not enough action
Hey hows it going! Quick question where did you buy your black rivets?
Alfredo Acosta They are from weaver leather. Here’s our affiliate link that will get you a % off! www.weaverleathersupply.com/?ref=axeandawl
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 .
Sounds rough!
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?
Good video just too much talking
Awesome, more visuals and illustrations, we all learn differently right.
A lot of talking
