Bought rivets to attach a D-loop ring on a cell phone wallet case but didn't know to to do it. Now I know how to do it properly. Appreciated the explanations. Great instructional video! 👍

Nice, concise tutorial on rivets for leather. Thanks much. I'm going to make a couple hatchet sheaths with double cap rivets.

Great video, halfway through and i got to the part where you showed how to take the rivet off the material and leave behind a usable hole without damaging the material. And while ur way is great, i feel i might scratch the leather if i grain sides and both sides need to be visible. So I wanted to share with you a way that i came up with, mostly out of desperation. And it works if you have a narrow place where the rivet is set. I basically use the rotator hole punch tool that you showed. The antique one you own. I just set the tool to a reasonably narrow hole punch and just punch through the cap of the set rivet and with a reasonable force you actually just punch through the cap and back cap...and the set rivets just fall off after that or u can easily just lift them off since you just punch throughthe locking mechanism. Hope that helps and maybe u can apply that somewehre too 👍💯

It may work a couple times, but those bits aren't meant to pierce through metals, so you're destroying your rotary bit in the process, not very cost effective if you're running a business.

@@leatherpunk agreed. But ive only ever had to use it a few times and i guess it depends case to case..like how badly do you want to save the work..maybe its a long bag strap that u spent a long time hand-stitching..i wud legit waste a rotary to save that 😅

Thanks for this video - I've been setting rivets in leather for donkey's years, and I still found some useful tips here. Some of this stuff, like shortening posts which are too long, I learned myself by trial and error. For removing rivets without scratching up the leather too much, you might want to try out a pair of end cutting pliers (also known as end cutters or nippers) instead of the side cutters (AKA diagonal cutters) that you're using - the jaws of those will slide under the back of the rivet and snip it off neatly, especially if you grind down the jaws so they are flush cutting. They work great for trimming off zip ties as well, and they're not expensive.

What is the tool you are using to cut/form your rivets?

[@LeenieVibes]

Hi, at 7:39, you mention a hole punch tool. What is it called? I have been trying to find online with no success, since I don't know what to search for.
