Thanks for making such an easy to follow & concise video about setting rivets.

Thanks, Matt, today I had to replace a belt buckle, I had an assortment of rivets and your video explained the way to go. Top video matey.

This is a perfect video about setting rivets (at least for me). I've watched other videos but had trouble understanding them. Yours is so clear that I could follow it even if I was falling asleep. Thanks Matt.

I've been searching for a video like this for over an hour. Thank you so much for uploading such helpful content!

Great tip to grind down the edges of the domed tool. I’ve experienced the problem of a ring indent in the leather around the rivet. That’s a great solution. Thanks!

WOW, am I lucky to have stumbled across your video. A rivet broke on my knife holster so I went out and bought a regular Arrow RH200 pop rivet gun for metal working. If I had used that to install a rivet it would have looked awful and had a big ugly dome on one side. I guess now I've got to do some Internet searching for LEATHER riveting tools and rivets and do the job properly according to your video. Thank goodness you posted this video.

Thankyou so much. I'm fixing a leather purse strap and I need rivets for the project. This was very helpful. 👍

I've ordered buckling wrist bands off of you and it's been 5 years and they are still going strong! Your products are top notch and just simply awesome! Be ordering more in the future.

That is the most god damned adorable lil anvil I've ever seen.

Thanks for that informative tutorial! 😊🌸

Great, clear tutorial! Thanks!

Simple and easy to follow, and clear video. Good tip about the concave tools.

Thanks for this video. My leather utility belt had a rivet snap off. Cheap belt. But I wanted to fix it if I could to hold me off from buying another. Glad this is a simple fix.

I've been looking how to do this and as first I didn't even know what to search for ! So thanks.

Very helpful video. Thanks!!!

This has helped clear up some questions I had, I'm making a replica of the Sutton Hoo belt

I have not been able to find the exact size rivet setter for the size of my rivets. Purchasing the standard size and filing them down is a very clever idea. I will try to accurately measure the heads of all my rivets and the file the wide setter down to size. Excellent idea! Thank you.

Clear concise thanks!

Thank you so much!! Filing was capital clue.

Great tip on rounding the concave setter to avoid marking the surrounding leather. Thank you!

Love your video and the anvil 2👍

Thank you so much 🙏❤

Matt, great tutorial!

Hi, enjoy the video, well done!

Just love the cute little Barbie Dream House anvil !

👍🏻thank you for the help

I never seen those split rivies before. I thought the setter for them was only for line 20 snaps & etc. Thank You.

Truly riveting video.

Hi Matt, thanks for the great video. You make it look so easy!! I'm making some beaded dog leashes using my husband's discarded bass strings and trying to come up with an idea of how to attach a leather handle to one end of the leash and a snap clasp to the other. One end of the guitar string has a small ring that I can loop a small key chain type ring in and loop the clasp on that, but the other end is just wire that I need to figure out how to attach the leather handle to. Do you think the rivet process you used in this video would be useful to attach the leather handle/strap to the guitar wire? Any ideas about what size rivet and where I would get the tools and rivets? I'm brand new at this, but love the look of the leashes I've made so far. Thanks in advance for your advice...if you need photos to answer, just let me know how to send them to you.

I have rivets on a pair of Prada sneakers I purchased. The rivets hold the Prada triangle logo in place. I ended up returning them because one of the rivets snapped off. I doubt this is the repair technique to repair the Prada triangle logo back in place. I think I'm going to return the other Prada sneakers that have the same rivets. I fear they may come off. The sneakers costs me $1070.

Awesome video bub

Good video man

Awesome video! I have to ask though because I don't have one.. is the anvil necessary or will any smooth hard surface work as well? I want to avoid having to get an anvil if i can. Thanks!!

Thanks leather daddy!

Great video. Is there any consideration for quality of rivets? There are a thousand options on Amazon and I'm worried some of them would fall a part

Matt, question, which rivet type do find to be more durable holding multiple layers of material together? Thanks for the video.

Great tutorial! I think this will work to connect old metal pieces together. I want the robots to look old not shiny. I guess there’s a way to make shiny rivets look rusty. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Thank you!

Great video. I'm trying to find a video on setting the star stud rivets . I'm thinking it's exactly the same way as your doing here.

Awesome thanks

Thanks man

Thank Matt

Wonderful video! Where did you get your slab and what size is it?

Hi , what do you call the first rivet you set ?

Thank you.

Hi there, I have a project I want to work, and this is the closest I've come so far to finding a way to do it. I'm trying to find a way to add a domed piece of metal to a leather belt. Something similar to a domed or dapped coin. Do you know of any techniques where i might be able to secure it to the leather without ruining the domed shape? Thanks!

I can't believe it has been 4 years since I last posted and am now finally getting around to working on that quick open folding knife holster. I was ready to buy some double cap copper or brass rivets from Amazon and then ran across your video again. At the 2:00 mark you show the barrel of your rivet being filled in and rounded. The rivets on Amazon are rounded but there is still a small hole at the top. Does that matter much? If it does then where can I buy the rivets you show. And, with your rivet, is the whole barrel body filled in or is it hollow? Final question, should I use copper or brass rivets? Is one better than the other?

Hi there great video. When making the hole before inserting the rivet How do you know the size of the hole? And what do you use?

Stop me if I'm wrong, but you're missing a tool for double cap rivets here. The bottom one is flattening out against the anvil without another concave metal cast which came with my kit. Unfortunately it's hard to stop the rivet shaft bending and the top and bottom caps going offset while using this tool. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it is hard to line everything up vertically and in the centre of the cast before hitting. Sometimes they are fine but most times they go offset after striking. I think the shaft might be too long as I definitely cannot set the rivet with just one strike of the hammer (needs several whacks). They are a good 2mm above the leather when I place the cap on. Thanks for the video

Question: The rivets I got are pyramid with a small screw hole on the bottom (for the other end obviously). Now the tricky part is the screw-on side of the rivet is completely flat yet the actual nail is a “twist-on” screw… like a flathead screw. Kinda hard to explain but how would I apply it? Is it the same concept? Edit: What tools should I use? I’m doing this for a purse

Do you think the double cap ones would be fine for the jean jacket im making?

Are single rivets best for thinner materials? The posts are sometimes too long on double cap. 😅

Hey I have a rivet snap button it looks like it's been weld in but it might just be riveted in. I'm trying to remove it but I need to save the button. So I can put the button in another pair of jeans. How can I remove this without. Messing up the integrity of the metal button. 🙆🏻
