thank you sooooo much for posting these videos, it is nice to get lessons on how to projects like these from a professional like yourself. We don't have a lot of leather crafters here where I live. Thank you again

I have a question, because I do not know anything about rivet size, but I want to find the smallest size that the rivet can be, could you show me some examples so I can estimate the size I want... thank you. If you dont mind, plz reply.

[bdude93]

very helpful videos!!! quick question regarding these the speed rivets. throughout the small, medium and large sizes, are the shafts the same size? so like, if you were using the small rivet for a fairly thin piece of leather, but wanted to use a medium or large cap... would that work?

thanks for your help

thank you :-)

This is super helpful. I am using rivets to set the hardware for a hand-bound 3-ring binder, and this is the best tutorial I've seen!

thanks a bunch!

I have learned so much from your videos, I keep watching them over and over again. My wife have some leather purses in need of repair, I will try to fix them myself. I'll be placing an order from your store for the task ahead. Thanks!

Thanks for your last reply on how to set a copper rivet. I recently bought some tubular rivets and a penning tool but I can't seem to set them like the way I saw a machine do it. Any suggestions. Do you have a video on this type of rivet??

[Myslot2]

If I find the tubular thread on a short rivet is still too long, can the thread to trimmed to the right length and it would still be good to be capped??

[MaineLineIndustries]

@Myslot2 You can try and see if it holds then you should be ok. Just try and pop the cap off with your finger to make sure you have a good hold. It usually will work but not always. I hope that helped.

[MustangGTR2]

@MaineLineIndustries do you have any idea of rivet setting tools for brake shoes?

[patm4u]

Could you please tell me how to set a cooper rivet?

[MaineLineIndustries]

@patm4u We have a video on how to set a cooper rivet just look at our list of videos.

[inopwarthog]

That's why my caps won't set right, thanks for the help, I'm going to try the copper ones with the washer.

[staceyrica]

You explained it very well. Very grateful, thanks. Have a question though, my leather is really big and i want to place the rivet in the center, how can i find the anvil to pound the rivet in? Do i have to use the anvil? Can i just use a regular surface? And can i use a rivet on other materials? I'll email you.

Thank you sir!

Great Video..exactly what I'm looking for. I just purchased a 1.5 inch Latigo strap to make a dog collar. I bought large double cap rivets and I have two issues. 1. After hitting them with mallet they still seem not tight enouph 2. they bend, but if I use med they seem to small. Not sure what to do cause the rivets are supposed to holding this thing together. PLEASE HELP

[MaineLineIndustries]

Hi, how thick did you get the latigo strap for your dog collar? This would help me with a solution. Sometimes though leather can be an inbetweenie is what I call it. To thick for a medium and too thin for a large. You could always skive the spot where the rivets are to make it thinner so the medium rivets would work better or take a tool like a piece from a ratchet set and pound the spot around where the rivet is being set. This would make it thinner as well. I hope that helps.

I wish to have a shop like yours in my city... I would buy any rivets and any tools I need... But for now i need to travel almost 180 miles to visit a shop like that... In Poland it's not very popular, so there's only a couple of them in all country :/ But nice tutorial :) Best regards from Poland, Greg

[AuroraPoison]

Thanks for the video. That explains why the cap slides.....I need to cut the stem
