- In this 9-minute tutorial, you will learn everything you need to know to set your first copper rivet. No need to be intimidated by these rivets! In fact, I bet that after you give them a try you'll enjoy them as much as I do. I appreciate you watching, and as always, I invite you to let me know in the comments if this was helpful and tell me what you'd like to see in future videos. Thanks again for watching!
With Gratitude,
Tanner
By the way, the rivet setting tools I used here are from Buckle Guy (an affiliate partner). I've tried several setters and these seem to work exceptionally well. Here's the link if you'd like to check them out! bit.ly/3rv2vem

Tanner. A couple of things. Being a graphic designer, a drawing or diagram is successful if it conveys an idea. Your drawings are perfect for that no matter how you think they look. It helps to understand exactly what is going on with a diagram. Excellent. Also, the doming tool is something I have never seen before. Watched a lot of copper rivet demo videos. Your video is the first I have seen shape the other side of the rivet. Again. Terrific.
Thank you, Bruce-- that means so much. I love to hear that my teaching style works for you! I really appreciate your support and kind words. Cheers, my friend!
I agree. I’ve never heard of doming the back, or thought of peeling back and forth btw hammer and peeling tool. Is there another way to make a leather washer if I don’t have a large punch like your 5/8th” punch?

I dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can offer me.

Reminded me of senior school in the mid 60's when they taught you useful metalwork and joinery skills that you remember and use for the rest of your life 👍
I loved high school shop classes! Definitely some very well-spent hours at school! Thank you so much for watching!
I watched my dad when I was a kid do this stuff,he made harness from small to large ,I still have some of his stuff copper rivits and some tools,lord I miss those days,seems no one even cares about the old ways anymore,
So pleasing to listen to your clear, well spoken instruction. It seems as if you are comfortable just being yourself speaking rather than having a youtuber tone and intro. Refreshing ... Thank you!
You're a thorough teacher. You produce clean work
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I appreciate you watching!
Best video on copper rivets Period. THANK YOU!
I guess you really do learn something new everyday. I have been using copper rivets on my leather craft for a while. But i did not know you could dome the flat side of the rivet. So thank you for the unique info. Keep it up.
Same.
Those are clearly the best tool set for the task-- soooo many Chinesium tools on Amazon and ebay and the reviews portray them badly.
These tools he uses appear to be first-rate.
This is such a good tutorial. Your teaching style is A++ so easy to understand. Keep up the good work.
You come up with some of the best videos
Yours are short, clear, concise and you speak clearly to educate us whom are not native English speakers.

Many greetings!
I love your laidback style of instruction. You are able to explain the steps in detail without dragging it out. That sir is a skill most people on TH-cam do not have. I am new to leather craft and your content is extremely helpful. I also find the time to get out in the garage after the family goes to bed. Keep up the fabulous work.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you’re here! Enjoy those nights in the garage (and especially enjoy your family)! I’m right there with ya!
Copper and leather, peas and pods. 👌🏼
Ooh, I agree! 🤩
You sir are a phenomenal teacher. Poignant, direct without being authoritative, knowledgeable and sincere.
Makes me appreciate the craft even more.
Good job, You made everything perfect, with no boring long no needed talks. Thanks and wish you good luck.
Thanks for that. I didn't know the leather washers served a functional purpose. I put them in the first tote bag I made because I had seen it done elsewhere and liked the look. Glad to know they have a function. Reviewing that first tote bag, I had used size 9 rivets because I didn't realize there were other sizes. LOL That was hard work. I prefer to use 14s now (with the 3-part setting tools demonstrated). Aren't learning curves fun!
My pleasure! I’d love to see you’re with sometime! If you’re on Instagram, send a message sometime!
@@ClaridgeLeather Done! Thanks for your response.
I found a couple boxes of copper rivets my grandfather had. He tanned buckskins and worked with leather. I didn't have a clue how the rivets worked. Thank you for the insight!
Tanner, one thing that I like to do on our leather aprons is place all the burrs the same way. What I mean is, if you look at the burr you can tell which way it was stamped out of a sheet of copper. The look and feel is different from side to side.
I hear you on that! A little detail that makes us happy, right? I love the aprons you all make!
So assuming my old eyes can see the difference, which side do you put against the leather? Or do you mean to just be consistent?
@@bagramdave883 in the big picture it does not matter . For me, it’s a mater of consistency like you mentioned.
@@pmelchman PS. Where can I see some of your aprons?

Thanks for the post! Marysville , MT here!!! Well that’s where I grew up and lived 22 years😊
Really useful - thanks for that. You've simplified a whole project!
Excellent job. You’re a teacher at heart. I love it.
Thanks for a clear and concise video. You showed this can be done with minimal tools.
Great informative instruction Tanner! Thank you!
just started watching more of your videos, so well made and very well explained. Thank you so much for taking the time!!
That was really very helpful. Thank you so much for posting this.
Excellent explanation…clear description on how rivets are used. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up with the good work ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the video lesson in details. I was not so sure of copper riveting for so long. Now I fully understand how the thing works. Thank you again !!
Beautiful! I'm a metal worker and fully appreciate your use of copper rivets (with a few extra steps).
Yes..I'm a new fan of your channel. Very informative and clear instructions.
Video's like this one have made my journey into leather crafting much more enjoyable and my products more professional and durable. Tanner I want to personally thank youfor all you give to the leather crafters of the world! Please continue to teach and inspire us.
This was amazing! I admit, I was leery of rivets. But, you made this so simple! You’re a great teacher! Thank you!
You have an accuracy and an easy way about your teaching that is helpful, admired and appreciated.
Thank you, John! I appreciate that so much! Thank you for watching!
great video. very informative. i have watched a bunch of videos where they used rivets in the project and i always wanted to try it, but had no clue on the rivets or tools i would need. thank you for sharing. this video was a huge help.
Thanks for the video! Surprising how even the simple things like rivets need to be explained to beginners like me! Much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this very thorough video!
I've never seen doming the head of the rivet before! That's brilliant! Thank you Tanner, for sharing your knowledge. You explain things very clearly and I appreciate that!
You are a very good teacher.
Very helpful and informative. Well done video. Thank you.
Please keep doing the videos. You do it at the right pace and with simple enough instructions that it really makes sense. I am about to do my first tote. Thanks
Hi. Great stuff for someone in need of tuition like me! Thanks, you’re a good teacher. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing you knowledge..you are a very good teacher. You explain very well..
I enjoy watching your videos. And I learn a lot from it..
Enjoyed your video. Clear and concise. Haven't tried rivets yet. But I will try now.
Really well portrayed, you packed a lot of great data into 9 minutes.
I have several many films on this topic, you were kind that you linked or mentioned to the best tools and rivets as well.
Hi Mr. Tanner, here from Brazil i say, your teaching method is very cool. Thanks
Great content! Subscribed a while back and I keep finding more gems. Thanks for sharing your passion, it's helping me get back into the craft.
That's awesome! I love to craft & learn about new tools & techniques. Great tutorial. Now I need to go buy me a kit!
Great video and great explanation, thank you.
Love it! Copper Rivers look so clean 👌🏼
Thanks, Will!
This is my first video to watch, and it's fascinating.
Awesome! Welcome! 🙏🏼
Excellent work. I appreciate your dedication to share your skills.
Much appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I love to see people making quality things that are functional and will stand the test of time. Cheers, Rob.( from Tasmania)
Thank you, Rob! I really appreciate you watching!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed your video
First of your videos I've seen and wondered why it was dark outside and yet you weren't British but you strangely answered all my questions and got subbed. Good video by the way.
Had to come back and edit, I don't think I've seen such a consistently nice comment section either.
Thank you! That means so much to me! It’s always dark because the leatherwork happens when the kids are tucked into bed! It’s a late-night affair, normally. 😀 I really appreciate you watching and leaving a nice comment- welcome, and keep in touch! -Tanner
Thank You so much for taking the time and making these videos. I learn so much
You are so welcome!
Copper rivets were also used by bicycle saddle makers (Brooks still uses them). They typically joined the back of the saddle to the frame. When riders legs get tired, you can take a break by sliding back on the saddle so you are using different muscles. You could tell when riders were getting fatigued when they would "ride the rivets". Sorry, just a little cycling and leather trivia.
Oh man, I love it! Cycling has been a huge part of my life (mostly mountain biking), but I’ve never heard “riding the rivets”! So interesting!
Thank you for doing this videos. I've learned a lot and I'm using that stich you showed in a previous video. Looks awsome.
Great video man. I've watched quite a few copper rivet videos and i think your did the best job of explaining, not only, all the steps, but the reasons why. Thank you
That means a ton, Nate! Thanks so much for watching! -Tanner
Thanks a lot ~~!
I am happy to learn how to use tools.
great video tanner! very informative thanks
My pleasure! Thanks so much for watching!
I am a huge fan of the copper and brass rivets, and I always learn something new watching other makers. Thank you!
So glad you found the video- thanks for watching! I am a big fan of these rivets as well!
Love your work mate.
Very interesting to watch and learn. Thank you so much for taking time to make these for us.
Loved your video! You're an excellent teacher and sound like a very decent guy!👍
Excellent video!
Thank you Tanner!
I really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos. You take the time (and close ups) to make your how to videos easy to understand. Having been a design engineer and drafting person (old school pencil and drafting machine) I appreciate your sketches; they always make it easier to understand. 👍👍
That’s awesome to hear, Douglas! My background is in engineering as well, and I always enjoy getting out in the pencil and paper!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome video! Love me some copper rivets!!!
Watching everything, professor. Grateful for your content!

Sweet! I have a real fondness for them, personally... I think you'll enjoy them! Thanks for watching, Ethan!
Love the washer idea!!! Thanks Tanner!
Right on! Wish it were my original idea... but it's a good idea to steal and use :)
Thanks for sharing, love this video, I'm a young beginner on leather stuff, and I learned a lot from you, please make some more, greetings from Bali

Thanks so much, my friend!
Very good information thanks
Thanks so much, Tanner!
My pleasure-- thanks so much for all your support!
Thank you! I have the same setters as you and thought I was using the doming tool correctly, but you’ve confirmed it. 🙂
Perfect! Happy crafting!
I'm new to leather work, thank's man, you're awsome!!

Your video was great. I have the rivets and tools and haven’t used them yet. Now, I think I’ll practice tomorrow. Thanks
Great!! I love to hear that! Have fun! 🔨
I can’t explain how appreciative I am that you are a detailed visual learner as well as I am. Thank you so so much. You’re the very first one that genuinely provides my “but why’s” visually 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you, Gabriella! 🙏🏼

This is a good channel for leather learning . . . thanks for sharing.
You are sure welcome, Jeff. Just getting started! Can’t wait for what’s to come! Thanks for watching!
Great video my fellow craftsman you are a good teacher, thank you .Old Mountain Man firekeeper!
thanks for the info
Thank you for doing this! 🙏😊
You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
great video, Ive always loved copper, annealed it makes a good choice with leather. . made a copper rivet pirates chest . those rivets have a captive washer, nice.
Great videos 👍
Great video!! Keep it up man! 🍻
Thanks, Brother!
Thanks so much for any knowledge you share. I learned from this video that these style rivets are so much more useful because you can snip them. My few attempts at rivets are buying 25 or 50 piece packs of exact sizes from Tandy that don't even set properly without a press of sorts. I'm totally going to try this style. Good looking and easily approachable for the hobbyist. You're so kind and helpful!
So glad you were able to gain something from this one! I think you’ll love using these rivets- definitely very versatile and a stronger connection than the double-cap rivets. Have fun!
You’re awesome !
God Bless
