    Yes, I use a drill press with a 7/64 bit and drill into the post down to the required height. Once you get one the proper length then lock down the depth adjustment on the drill press and make all the rest the same length. The metal piece pinches the snap and keeps it from spinning. One side of the block is for 20 and the other side is for 24's using the same piece of scrap aluminum with two different size post holes drilled through it. The only thing you don't see is a shallow hole that is counter bored into the wood for the snap to sit in.

    This is how it can be accomplished . Make a jig, use a drill press. The material here is 1/64 thick. The snap is a line 20. The post on the snap was 15/64 and was brought down to 7/64 using a drill press and a jig.

    Buy the bracelet, maybe they're marked.

    What's the reason for a liner, if it's a matter of aesthetics you can always flock it. Two to three coats of petrifier from Home Hardware will stiffen up the bag front for molding the liner or you can build a form around the finished front.

    How thick is the liner Bob? Can it be molded to the bag front instead of being molded separately?

    Road kill is generally ripped up pretty well, that's why she's using it for accessories. You wouldn't want it if it was killed in a warm climate, the fur would not be prime and it would slip unless you were at the scene when it happened. Some communities don't allow it. I did harvest a road killed marten once and someone somewhere is wearing it, I received $65 for that one from a buyer.

    A press makes it easy for setting snaps. You want to see a nice rolled top on the stem. I use DOT snaps as well.

    My reply was in response to this ... Send the picture to Ohio Travel Bag, they might have a supplier.

    They are nickle cord ends with screw. http://www.macculloch-wallis.co.uk/Product.aspx/Cord%20Ends%20and%20Cord%20Locks!9330/N?MSCSProfile=3C79F0C7EA3162B289A6F3317CC124D86AFD4A76F8D2710823352D162EF3633DE46689E0C669C7F07BEA712706D9C6D9212E429B38A41154C07E8B855329D9A185BBCFBB7C4849826428078A7D2F4DF8CE6B7E9022D289DD64AE1430EF87669B14A3D99FED4420D070D568C7A2EC5C3DC95AEF074C4C81B06B7B8EA54A2C46BD44E04DBC243953CC

    Ohio travel bag has them listed under STRAP & CORDING ACCESSORIES.

    I've used both a band saw and a scroll saw, they both work well. That dremel doesn't appear to have a blower which keeps the cutting surface clean and allows you to see what you're cutting. I paid $50 for a used scroll saw, the band saw is smoother because it's directional but they both work well.

    You didn't say what size needle and thread you're using? You could try going up one needle size. How heavy is your thread tension? My bobbin tension is sitting at 3 3/4 lbs. and the top tension is 1 3/4 lbs. with the foot up.

    A belt edge will become rounded when it's burnished after using an edge beveler.

    Bill; Search for T track, it comes in different lengths and the knobs are usually available where the track is sold. http://www.amazon.com/Shop-Fox-D2725-36-Inch-T-Slot/dp/B0000DD1O9/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418737395&sr=8-1&keywords=T+track

    Thank you Bill. I have since modified that one and made another but pretty much the same simple idea.

    That looks like a split rivet but instead of spreading them, the ends are pulled towards each other and crossed over.

    Is the spring working, I had to adjust mine. The distance between the end of the screw and the nut on my machine is 5/32".

    They don't list those dies for the tandy press, in fact the dies are limited that's why I don't like it. Ohio travel bag has those dies for their T-1456 that should work in your tandy press.
  19. Tree Reaper
    I have that press, why do you ask?
  20. Tree Reaper
    They're using white for the bobbin thread and pink for the top thread, they meet in the middle of the layers. To do that by hand an automatic hand awl could be used to stitch the top thread and grab the bottom thread.

    Re post that here http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showforum=50 for better results.

    See edit above, you could also use a nut inside the chuck if you don't have any tubing.
  23. Tree Reaper
    Can you drill out the snap? If not, you can put the threaded portion inside something like a small rubber fuel line, place inside a drill chuck and hold a file to the head as the bolt spins in the chuck.

    Allen screws don't have heads.
