A different style, very large and hefty, dyed black with a dura coat edge. It was my first time using the spots and they are a little tricky to install. I ended up having to mark the holes with the spot where it would go then use my awl to poke them through so that I could put the spot on and set it with the tool. bent quite a few or the prongs before I figured that out.

From the album:

If you set your leather onto a black "poundo" board from Tandy's, . . . you can retire your awl from spot setting. One firm punch, . . . the spot is in and on, . . . turn it over and bend the tabs to the middle, . . . soooooooooooo easy.

May God bless,

Thanks for the tip Dwight. It wasn't so much the prongs going through the back side, they wouldnt even penatrate the leather, they were bending to the side and I couldn't figure out if I wasn't holding the setter straight or the sleeve wasn't all the way down. Maybe it was because the leather was 9-10oz? I am going to try using 5-6 or 6-7 oz then line the back with 2-3oz and see if that makes a difference.
