SUP, I can't thank you enough! Very useful information! I will definitely check the site out.

I apologize for the not so good picture. It would only let me post 1 picture of 1.46MB and I tried to downsize the picture but it didn't work out so well. I'm not very tech savvy. I really appreciate all the information! It was so helpful!

Hi all! Newbie here! I am starting to learn leather working. I have been finding it quite interesting! I am needing some help identifying what certain closures are. Different methods of finishing loops etc... I have an image I want to share if it goes thru about a how a loop is secured . This appears as some type of rivet but I don't know what it's called? One side has a sort of hole and the opposite side is smooth and flat Can anyone help with identifying this?

Hi all, Newbie here. Hoping to get to know more of you on my learning leather journey ;-) I noticed there are different ways to secure leather works together. Alot of what I see is sewing methods. I also don't understand 'ounces' in leather because I go by thickness so Is there a way to compare ounces to thickness? So back to the faster part. What kind of sewing machine does it take to sew leather? I have a sewing machine, it's pretty basic for sewing fabrics but I don't know if it will do leather also what type of needles? In talking about Fasteners I also see little screws and Rivets. I'm enclosing a picture I took of a fastner/ closure of a leather piece of which I'm assuming it's some type of rivet(?). Could someone tell me what this is? I'm having troubles showing another picture of the other side but it's flat on that side. Thanks for your much appreciated help
