100% Totally Awesome....!! Since suffering from Carpal Tunnel and hereditary arthritis I've become very reliant on securing wallets, eyeglasses etc Until you came along I wondered for years how to perform needed changes on personal items. From the bottom of my heart....."Thank You"....!! Clear, detailed and enlightened. Master Jason. That's you.
This is the best rivet video I have seen yet and it was made years ago. I bought a tool set and it does not have one concave tool in it. Mostly for single rivets. Now I know what to get and how to do it, Also the post on my rivets are too long for fabric so I have to rebuy them. Thank you so much for this great video.
Fantastic tutorial. Beginning some new projects that will have the snaps and grommets in them. Actually happy to see the one that did not come out good....this shows what not to do and was helpful. I did spend some time doing my R & D and yours was the best I found for instructions, details , supplies and the explanation of sizes. Thank you for your time to share this. 🌹
Finally! A video that's informative with good close-up camera work when needed,and no goofy ass music. So it's true what people use to say huh? That TH-cam didn't always suck. That it use to be a good place to learn about hobbies,and trade skills without a bunch of nonsense. Thank you JDOC Custom leather P.S. Liked,and subscribed. Have a great day everyone!
Thanks for sharing, I am so glad I viewed your video, before ruining ALL my stud fastenings! Your tip on the length of stud versus THICKNESS of LEATHER brought my problem to attention. But rather than file post - I decided to add a 2nd little piece of leather, in order to thicken larger piece. Thankfully that worked a treat. Thanks again for the tutorial.
Thanks a lot, man... I'm just now getting into leather work (Did some tooling years ago, but nothing else) and never set any snaps before... I just repaired an old biker wallet as a result of your tutorial that has some sentimental value to me, with no problem. Looking forward to moving on with my new hobby and possibly make a little extra cash some day.
Wow. That's so much for showing how to use Rapid Rivets (5:00)! I bought some and thought they must be rubbish copies, because I could clip them together and apart again. I didn't bother using them, because I thought hammering them together wouldn't work. (I know. I should have at least tried.) Now I know I bought the right thing. Thanks.
At 13:10 you mentioned shortening the posts with a sander. I've messed a few snaps that had too long posts for my leather and basically crushed them a bit. The light came on and I'd like to mention a tool Brownells sells, called a Screw Gizzie.It's for shortening screws too small and short to safely hold to a grinder wheel. I use it all the time and have made several for friends. I've made them in 1/8" and 3/16" flat steel where I've drilled and tapped the flat steel so I could twist the screw or bolt in to the appropriate length, then just back it out to mostly restore the threads. I'm going to make one with the proper size holes to use with shortening the line 20 and 24 snaps and various rivets. Thanks for getting the wheels in motion again. Great 769 shows how to make a gizzie I believe. Regards.
Nice video. Great tip on going for a smaller tighter hole when inserting fasteners. Just a couple tips on fastener selection for those watching. There is another eyelet design that is in two pieces so that you have a finished look on both sides. Would look better on a belt or adjustable bag strap where backside can be seen. Also ensures comfort on belts. The type shown here is great for projects where the eyelet backside is hidden e.g. handbag where you have a lining. The same applies for grommet design selected. For snaps or rivets if both sides are visible use double caps. Both the male and female end of the snap can be used with a domed cap.
That was a good video even though I knew how to do everything I still watch the entire video well explained. I also buy all my stuff from Tandy leather.
LOL The third time with that hammer made me laugh. Very true about those snap posts bending over. As a beginner, I had a project going perfectly and I just had to attach the #24 snap. It didn't seem TOO long but that f***er leaned over where the snap part was 1/8" off center from the cap. I learned real quick how to carefully remove that snap. Horrible experience!
You don't have the right snap setter. It took me a while but i finally found the correct tool. I use a press for setting grommets and double cap rivets. It works much better that the hand held setter.
I thought I was going to go insane today trying to set snaps in thin-ish leather and you explained my dilemma exactly I think I have watched every leather video you've made and I think you are the best! Thank you so much for taking the time to share what you obviously love doing and passing it on so perfectly.
A great and informative tutorial dude, you explained things very clearly and I learnt a lot so sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share this ~Peace~
I am doing a project where I adhere two pieces of leather back to back (3-5 oz pieces) and am not finding eyelets that are thick enough. It looks like you have the ideal eyelet considering the thickness of the leather you used. Where can I find these? I am as green to this craft as they come. Thank you and btw your video is great!
I know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any tips you can give me
@Anakin Axl I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Perfect!!! Thank you for sharing. Would this be the same process using copper rivets? Or do you need different tools being that copper is softer? Thanks again
had to go back and listen twice because I did not hear the smacking, not very noticeable, the guy has a problem with noise ,I don't think he has kids or patience
Thank you for the great tutorial. I know its an old one but I would like to ask a question about snaps. If the post is the same thickness as the leather is that ok or should I use a longer post? Thank you.
Question: (And I don't know if this will make sense...) If I want to use either a rivet or an eyelet to hold two pieces of hard plastic together, but I DON'T want a tight hold, is there a way to do that? In other words, I want the two pieces of plastic to be able to move on the metal holding them together. (To be able to "swing" on the rivet.) Would I just not hammer as hard? Is there a gun type hand tool I can use to do it? Or would I have less control with something like that?
Buenas muy buen video una pregunta como puedo conseguir el set del video de herramientas puesto que en mi pais no es facil hacer compras por internet hace tres meses que empese con este rubro. Saludos desde Bolivia
Only thing wrong with the video is no warning about PLATED STEEL hardware. Some of the packaging is kind of vague, like I have had line 24 snaps that were magnetic and it said nothing about being brass plated which means in time the brass plating will wear off and it will rust. Carry a magnet if going to Tandy or craft store and if ordering online and if you're not sure then call and find out. I use no plated hardware.
Hi great video... Watched again... Also, have been searching for the 22 shotgun rivet "how to" Can't seem to set them .. The bullets pops out when you set so I think you seat the top of river. Once the bullet shows then shoots out rivet to set. Do you know where I can find some help? Thanjs
Do you know if the tools have to precisely fit the rivets, eyelets, etc. or if I can also use tools from overseas that are measured in mm on USA 1/4", etc. rivets, snaps, eyelets? Is 'close' good enough to work?
Good video exactly what I needed I purchased a set of snap Fasteners from Amazon the product came from China which is complete garbage the fasteners snap together but they come undone very easily and for a knife sheaths and gun holsters that is a big No-No
thanks for a great tutorial.. i've just gotten into leather and was using some random snaps and unknown sized setter that I had laying around, and they were all coming out a mess.. I went ahead and ordered the Tandy Setting set ($24) and some snaps.. Also, thanks for the tip about having to sand down the shafts to the proper lengths... should help a lot.
If you want to use the snap caps as decorations on super thin leather, could you just insert the domed post, and set it by itself, letting the smashed post hold it in place? Or are the other pieces necessary?
I was glad that the line 20 snap did not work properly for you because now I know that I definitely need a line 24 for my leather work using 8 to 9 oz leather thank you
Appreciated.. Finally some actual close videoing everyone else is at least a meter away and despite them showing their process twice it's still a blur. Cheers finally clarity
im going to start making newsboy hats with snap buttons to open/close the brim. I don't want something cheap but can you recommend a machine that will go through heavy tweed wool and also, what is the basic snap size on a newsboy hat? I have no idea on how to size up those snap buttons.thanks
Thank you for a great tutorial that simplifies all three applications! It answered a lot of my questions and helped me feel more confidant about trying this. Your presentation style is very good.
I'm thinking about using those type of double cap rivets/round rivet fasteners to attach looped nylon straps together to make a "pull-up loop ladder" instead stitching them with a sewing device. Do you think the rivets will be strong enough to hold the nylon loop ladder together so that it doesn't come apart if force was applied? Thanks and nice tutorial you have there.
Great Video! Ignore the rude comments, your video was very informative and you speak just fine. I learned a lot thank you very much. I will definitely subscribe.
I enjoyed that tutorial very much. I want to learn to use the teensie kind of metal islets and grommets for embellishments in toilet paper roll books/journals, etc but I see that the tiny kind must be utilized through the same process you showed on the big guns. (FYI Mrs. Cog on TH-cam has excellent tutorials if you're curious...) Hers are No where near man sized stuff though, but interesting and useful nonetheless. You have very nice hands! The wedding band suits you. Presentation is everything, the more refined the detail the better. I appreciate your time and expertise. Thank you so much for kindly sharing your skills and experience with me. Be well. and have a lovely day. Bye now
Glad you left the first try with the line 20 in the video. It’s good to show what goes wrong. Snaps are made with different length post but it’s good to mention, as you did, that they can be sanded down if need be. Good video.
this may be off topic but could you please recommend the best solution for for installing snap rivets on hats- in my case for newsboy cap brims. Tool needs to be able to go through the sturdy plastic brim and the top/bottom layers of fabric obviously. I know they sell kits everywhere but I need to make sure I can comfortably be able to go through the sturdy plastic piece and fabric without too much struggle.
I suggest you cut a tiny 'x' where you want your hole then use the hole punch to make your hole then proceed with the rivets. I've sewn for many years as well as working leather.
Thank you so much for this very informative tutorial. I could not put the rivets properly as the leather I was using was too thin. Had to return them all. Never tried thereafter. But i am sure now i can be successful after seeing this tutorial. Thanks once again.

Thanks
Thank you for the excellent tutorial,clear and concise.
+Seamus “drollboy” mc ardle Welcome
pretty nice that you showed the QR Barcode. I scanned it and it went to the website for the catalog that you showed.
+Michael Vorpahl Really? Didn't do that on purpose lol.
Well it got.me there thanks
It makes sense when you’re discussing sanding the post for the snaps. You would think they’d sell them shorter.
I actually like the fact you made a mistake at around 21:00. I think it illustrates a great point. Thanks.
No problem
thx, learned a lot as I'm just getting started in leathering, currently making leather sheaths for my wood working chisels
Thanks for making this video, it was very well done and very helpful!

Zed Outdoors Awesome, glad you liked it and learned from it, thanks for watching!
At 10:44 you didn't use a washer that's why the eyelet looked smashed but not securely covering the hole.
I liked and subscribed.
Your tutorial was better than what I got from the pros at TXXXy leather. Thanks for taking the time to educate us noobs.

Springfield Leather sells "baby dot short snaps" with shorter posts.
This video is very helpful... Thanks
stop! hammer time.
lol
Very helpful, thank you
Perfect!!! Thank you for sharing. Would this be the same process using copper rivets? Or do you need different tools being that copper is softer? Thanks again
Does the Tandy leather tool make the hole in the leather first, or do I have to put a hole in the leather before using the tool. I guess that I would.
At least we know what type of hammer to use. LOL Great video and the close ups were very helpful.
had to go back and listen twice because I did not hear the smacking, not very noticeable, the guy has a problem with noise ,I don't think he has kids or patience
LOL
Like it when he mentioned “couple of millimetres” @13:31
One of the junk harbor freight 'sharpening stones' would probably grind down a snap post pretty quick. 😁
Thank you for the great tutorial. I know its an old one but I would like to ask a question about snaps. If the post is the same thickness as the leather is that ok or should I use a longer post? Thank you.
The up close camera really worked. Better look at what was going on exactly than almost all of the other videos on same subject. Great lighting too.
Thanks
This is great - exactly what I wanted to know and clearly explained. Thank You!
+Emma Stafford Kiss You're welcome!
Thank you!
hey do you know what the diameter of the rivet head/cap is? cheers
You are the best. Now I know how to change my eyelets on my hiking boots
Good video but get rid of that darn hammer, just kidding thank for your explanation cheers from Tijuana/San Diego
You can buy a arbor press drill sizes fir the kit you all ready have look up on you tube bud.
thanks for sharing your experience!! :) where to get such a cool punch with screw sizes? I have not found :(
I like it, Thank you so much
That was educating… Thanks for simple yet detailed information…
where did you buy the setter

What size would you choose for 3,5mm leather?

I’ve watched 10,000 snap & rivet videos. This one is the best. Thanks for including the mistake. We learn best from those.
If you want to use the snap caps as decorations on super thin leather, could you just insert the domed post, and set it by itself, letting the smashed post hold it in place? Or are the other pieces necessary?
You could do that, but you run the risk of the smashed post maybe cutting the leather right away or over time. Try it though.
I was glad that the line 20 snap did not work properly for you because now I know that I definitely need a line 24 for my leather work using 8 to 9 oz leather thank you

Does this work on denim/jeans?
Thanks for sharing Atlanta Ga USA helpful 👀 next time. New here and making bag let to use the them
Ignore the haters - people are so ungrateful. I am just thankful you are sharing your knowledge here freely for newbies like me! Thank you.
This helped me. I’m not sure why folks always find something ugly to say. Good job and thank you
Which rivet size fits a folded 8-10 oz leather?? So two layers of 8-10 oz ...

Pretty good info on this video. Thanks.
Can you tell me the weight of your rubber mallet
+Evelyn H Not sure, I got it at Fry's, Fred Meyer.

I keep punching through my rivets. Is it cause i'm using a metal hammer?
Haha.. “did thah thing with the hammer again” ☺️
Thank you so much for this very informative tutorial. I could not put the rivets properly as the leather I was using was too thin. Had to return them all. Never tried thereafter. But i am sure now i can be successful after seeing this tutorial. Thanks once again.
thank you! I am getting some of those tools
bro... I'm glad we have you showing us this.. niw I can finally plan on what I wanted to do
Where do I get the tools and parts for snaps ?
you explain and teach pretty well. Thank you.
Keep making that snappy sound with your mouth, it helps..,
Hey thanks tapping in a circle makes sense good job keep em coming
what size driver is that?
