Members JackLeather Posted January 6 Members Report Posted January 6 (edited) Hello, I'm a hobbyist looking for insight from those of you who have used tubular rivets in your leatherwork. My work is focused on attaching veg tan leather straps to canvas bags. I am not currently in a high volume production environment. Double cap rivets (set with hand tools) have proved to be unreliable (I accept that the issue is my skill in setting the rivets). 11mm tubular rivets, with caps, is what I have in mind. Who offers the best setter, tubular rivets, and caps for a hobbyist in a low volume production environment? Thank you for sharing your recommendations, insight and experience.

Members MClark Posted 7 hours ago Members Report Posted 7 hours ago I hope this isn't too late to help you. You should really consider #12 or #14 solid copper rivets. If you go that route I recommend either the C S Oborne rivet setter or you can find another nice set of rivet setters at: brucejohnsonleather.com Call Bruce and tell him what your'e doing and he'll get you set up. Good luck Mark Clark Quote
