Hello everyone! ^^ I recently delved into the world of leather crafting (since July) and have been experimenting with snaps. I purchased a hand press, but little did I know the challenges that awaited me. Despite acquiring the correct die, snaps, and presumably the right press (haha), I am at my wits' end trying to affix snaps to my belts. Each attempt either ends in a ruined snap or misalignment on the leather. To add to the woes, a die has now become lodged in the silver plates after an attempt to set a snap on the leather. It's quite bizarre. Would anyone have suggestions on how I could resolve this issue? Thank you!
And some exemple of my First two project :
