Tried Two Sewing Eyes First

Had to get into a little metal work to get the front closure pin attached to the front flap. The pin came with a single straight pin on the back. I cut that off with a dremel tool and sanded it smooth and then I had to come up with a plan to get a solid fastener attached to the back.  First I tried two sewing eyes.  That didn't work very well.  For one thing the solder joints were not very strong and it took me multiple attempts at the soldering job.  And then when I got them on fairly solid, the sewing thread plan was not premium.  It allowed to much movement of the pin, twisting wise.
