Now I'm having friends wanting me to do it for them, since they look and feel so much better. Do you know if there is an accessory kit for that press to close watch backs? It looks exactly like a watch press, but with different attachments. I would like to have one that will do both, since they perform the exact same function and no need to have two for separate, yet similar jobs. Thanks again!

I don't recommend any particular brand. I have used some rather cheap ones before and they did break sometimes because I'd squashed them too hard! But I found that it's in the technique. When using the tools to apply them, don't press so hard - then even the cheap ones will be okay. Just vary the pressure , be gentle. Practise on some scrap leather first. Hope this helps.

What weight snap would you recommend for a men's motorcycle jacket. I've seen line 20 or line 24 recommend? Can I use an all to punch a hole through the leather or even a drill bit or do I need to buy the punch that you have. And is the punch expensive. Also where can I get those little metal rods you use to hammer in the snaps.
@LeatherClass2 жыл бұрын
It really depends on the the thickness of the jacket but perhaps line 24. You can use an awl /drill bit to punch a hole - could be fiddly though. You can get all the stuff you need on popular online auction stores - that's usually the cheapest option.

Hi Nancy, thank you for posting this video. I know how this is supposed to be done and have done it in the past, but recently i've been having a problem with the 2 parts @3mins 50mins on the video, the longer posted cap and its button receiver part. I do everything you do but after i've hit it and gone around in a circle exactly like you have done the button part doesn't stay connected to its post and i can either flick it off with a bit of nail, or it stays connected to its opposing connector. I have about 2mm of the long post sticking out through the leather for the button cap piece to connect to, is this enough? Thank you for any advice Nancy👍😁
@LeatherClass2 жыл бұрын
Hiya Sean, try varying the pressure you apply when you do the setting. If you apply too much force, it may damage the post and this can cause it not to be secure. Likewise, too little force can do the same. 2mm length on the long post sticking out should be okay. I'd suggest making sure that you've got all the correct sizes for the snaps 'cos it's easy for them to get mixed up if you have quite a few sizes lying around. Hope you get them set.
@seanditch44192 жыл бұрын
@@LeatherClass Thx Nancy, i tried skiving the part i needed down so there was a tad more than 2mm sticking out, (there might not have been 2mm before to be fair) as when folded the leather would've been 3-4mm thick so the crimped part of the long post was just about level with the hole surface..👍👍👍👍😘 p.s where did you get your snap presser inner machine thing from?

It depends on the thickness and flexibility of the leather. Usually, for lighter leathers, I'd go for about 10mm snap size and for leather 3mm thick I would go for 15mm snap. Hope that helps a bit!

I've always found line 24 snaps a hugh pain, I waste far more than I use. Making them very expensive, unfortunately most of the tools available for setting them are cheap crap, therein a large part of the problem. I've recently discovered a Barry King snap setter on the market, but like all Barry King tools it's expensive, about $75 Canadian, but for those that have anted up it gets rave reviews. Having just wasted 9 more to get one success it doesn't seem so expensive. At my present rate of $6.50 Per successful snap I'll be in the profit side after 15 snaps.
