FYI - Douglas Tools has retired. Rocky Mountain Leather has a few sets left but that's it. Buckleguy does have their own sets since Douglas stopped making them. They're nearly identical except for the knurling.

I love the small details: end cut nippers, using a washer as a spacer, and a large ballpeen hammer for solid striking. No guessing the height or using a nylon or rawhide hammer here. I feel confident in rivets now, thanks.

@blueshirtmonday Жыл бұрын

Really good video! I especially like the pre-domed textured and buffed look. Going to have to try that. I noticed that you strike the setter with a metal hammer. I was told that it would mushroom your tools. Is that not the case with those setters?

Awesome, some interesting ideas in there, I wonder if you could stamp a basic design into the head of a copper rivet.

Thanks !! Possibly using some steel decorative stamps would be fun experimenting with. I have stamped the peened burr side with a steel sunburst stamp with mild success. I don’t know how to attach a picture here but it’s on my Instagram Cheers!

I really like the video, learned a lot. Could you show doing it with thick leather folded like a holster or knife sheath? I have bent a few using that tool on #9 rivets.

Thank you Woozman! If I understand your question I think by setting it on the edge of an anvil and even having someone holding it level and flat while you set the burr.

I am amazed that you use a metal hammer on your good Douglas tools., Take a look at the copper rivet video made by El Paso Saddlery for an excellent example of what happens to those beautiful tools when struck with a steel hammer. PLEASE use a rawhide or poly maul or mallet and save the life of those good tools.
