Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am also thinking about making a similar bag using solid copper or brass saddle rivets that require peening. However, in my research, I see many similar bags employing what some people are calling solid-brass double-capped industrial-strength rivets. This sounds enticing, but I'm not sure such a thing actually exists. My understanding is that all solid-brass double-capped rivets have hollow posts, and that solid-brass for these rivets merely means that rivets are 100% brass, not plated, but also not 100% solid.
